Zirilan of the Claw
Legendary Creature — Viashino Shaman
, : Search your library for a Dragon permanent card and put that card onto the battlefield. Then shuffle your library. That Dragon gains haste until end of turn. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step.

No, thank you for creating so many interesting decks :)
I came back to EDH after years off of Magic and I wanted to try some cool decks with a new playgroup.
Initially I found you because I was looking for a vampire deck for my gf but when I saw you had so many decks I just had to check them (some I even tried to build myself like Alela or Regna/Krav)
I've always played white, red and green mostly, so Naya. But mainly I focus on tribes (Dragons, Angels, Elves, etc).
I enjoy the pushing the limits of MonoRed particularly so my favorite deck is my Zirilan of the Claw (Fiery Death by Dragons) but I've really enjoyed my other decks too (i.e.Jhoira of the Ghitu and Aurelia, the Warleader)

Rivaz Dragon's Approach Self-Mill

Didn't know this commander existed. It is a neat call back to an epic old legend Zirilan of the Claw which is a fun card to build around.
Really solid list. The maybeboard has all the potential gaps covered. Only suggestion I would add to the list is Gamble. That and the Entomb should be main board.

May I suggest running Scourge of Valkas as a target for Scion of the Ur-Dragon, or Zirilan of the Claw?
You will have a near 50% chance to kill the entire table with Scourge of Valkas + Ancient Gold Dragon

Kaalia's Treasure Trove

EquivocalVision - Thanks for the compliments! Definitely still a work in progress if you read the notes/updates but it is getting there! It would be so easy to make so MANY Kaalia decks as there are so many good angels, demons, and dragons but so far I am loving the dragon synergy. I really want to get Ancient Gold Dragon added for combos off Terror of the Peaks, Dragon Tempest, or Scourge of Valkas as rolling a ten with no damage modifiers out or no other dragons in play equates to 66 damage :)
I had never seen Zirilan of the Claw...interesting card. You are also not the first to mention Quicksilver Amulet so I really need to add that to the Maybe Board to experiment with. You are right about if people instantly kill Kaalia of the Vast the deck is pretty slow but that is where all those treasure producing enchantments should come in handy! Kaalia speeds up the deck significantly but without her it still does pick up stream, and makes me significantly less of a target until I am a target :)
Personally, I feel like using cards like Sneak Attack to cheat creatures out only to have them possible exiled would do the deck as it is currently built a disservice but that is a unique twist this deck could take with the Flickering. has plenty of cards that you could add in to support that strategy to make it viable and there are enough demons, angels, and dragon with ETBs effects that could be used to punish, tutor, or protect as needed. I mean, could you imagine flickering Dockside Extortionist for 2x treasure production! I may take a stab at this idea in the future as I have never looked into a deck like that but it has potential...
I did take a look at your deck...Blast-Furnace Hellkite looks very similar to Sylvia Brightspear except it is a dragon...I like this! Lots of other angels and demons I had not seen before or would like to add to my deck but room is scarce.
Thanks again for the upvote and your thoughts, I appreciate it!

Kaalia's Treasure Trove

Very nice deck! I love Kaalia. Love your emphasis on dragons!
I have a couple of suggestions if you're open to them.
Have you considered Zirilan of the Claw? Very good card if you're having trouble getting Kaalia to stick. People see her, they hate her, they kill her. Having a backup to cheat her out is always good. Along with Quicksilver Amulet. Good ways to make sure you don't get stuck unable to play something. Conjurer's Closet and Teleportation Circle are great in combination with Zirilan and also Sneak Attack. Imagine being able to sneak out a dragon for ONE mana, and then flickering it to untap at your end step and you get to them keep it... That's just insanely good. Or with Zirilan, you get to search for a dragon, give it haste, then flicker it to untap and keep it at the end of your turn. If you'd like, you can always check out my Kaalia deck for other ideas. I love Kaalia. I'd say she's my number one main deck I run. Kaalia's Bounce House

Super Shivan

There are some ways to tutor out the Shivan, one is Gamble, another is Magda, Brazen Outlaw. Gamble works well with recursion effects, which is a niche area for White. Zirilan of the Claw is a really weird one, iirc you can get around the exile effect by flickering the Shivan, at which point it's yours forever. Flicker effects are sometimes useful to protect the Shivan, so they're not 1 trick ponies and you could run more than one in a deck without them being superfluous. The worst might be Magda, but there are ways to generate 5 treasures and that's all you need, and some dwarves have amazing tap abilities like Dwarven Miner, a move that will annoy your opponent without really winning you the game, it's using your opponent's lands to dig out Shivan. Another good Dwarf could be Dwarven Blastminer, Dwarven Driller, Storm-Kiln Artist can make treasures too, some maybe options are Axgard Cavalry, Bomb Squad, Dwarven Armorer, and Mine Layer. There are some terrible options but I'm not going to bother with them. If you want a pretty competitive feeling Shivan Dragon deck, you might look up some Magda cEDH lists, that's a fairly competitive way to dig out a non-Legendary dragon.
Green is another great colour to look at if you want to dig out creatures, if you used something like Atla Palani, Nest Tender you can dig out creatures from your deck, guaranteeing access to Shivan eventually (if you run very few creatures you only need to pop a few eggs and you're guaranteed to hit) and she'd give you access to Green, which has it's own power buffing effects that can be quite notable. If you throw in a few cards that shuffle your graveyard back into your library (Green is great at this), you can recur your Shivan through Atla, so it can be pretty resilient.
I'm not disagreeing with Black as an option, just throwing another idea out there for you to think about.
The coolness of this deck idea makes me vaguely curious about a Red heavy Dragon Tyrant Atla Palani deck, just run stuff to make a nutso Dragon Tyrant and take over with your beefy beater.

Some more thoughts on cards spoiled:
Jodah is really cool. Simply designed, yet enough randomness + power to make it look like a blast to play. He might be the first 5-color commander I actually have the motivation to build.
My Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy + Scion of Halaster deck got a lot of unexpected goodies from this set. Vohar is probably the most interesting
This lord cycle is straight fire. They all seem pretty strong.
Relic of Legends is strong in both nostalgia and power.
I think the return of Rith is lowkey a bigger deal than the return of Sheoldred. She is the big baddie of all the Primeval Dragons. Now that she is back, I would love to see another Primeval Dragon war. Interestingly, the last time in the lore that the Primeval's were causing havoc was during the last Phyrexian invasion. The card is pretty awesome to boot.
Weatherlight Compleated is awesome
Rivaz is realllllllly cool and he/she is making it hard to stay loyal to Lozhan for dragon tribal. I like the subtle nod to Zirilan of the Claw.
Uurg seems great for Gitrog decks.
I haven't been up on the lore since Strixhaven, but based on the spoiled cards, they seem to be getting "rid" of a lot of big name planeswalkers lately. Tamyio in Kamigawa, and now both Jaya and Ajani in this set. I like that they aren't afraid to potentially (or in the case of Jaya, actually) kill off main characters. Everything feels too sunshine and rainbows if there are no major losses.

Just thought of another card for youu to look into. Zirilan of the Claw. I am just not sure about the remove from game part.
