Great to see and update! More ramp spells is actually what I think this deck needed but how about some utility lands? I'm thinking about Reliquary Tower with all these draw enchantments.
Also what's your opinion about Shard Convergence as a card that estabilishes your future land drops?

I saw you took out Chromatic Lantern for Spoils of Victory, but I honestly don't know how you justify it. Chromatic Lantern is the premiere mana fixing for multicolor commander decks. Now you may not always need it if you have a lot of duals, but the only reason not to run is is if it's consistently getting destroyed / wiped away in your playgroups.

Here are some things it does better than spoils of victory: It mana fixes you, honestly and truly having your mana fixing be colorless is a huge advantage, what happens if the color you're missing is green and spoils is your fixing ? That's a conceivable situation to be in, even if unlikely. it nets one mana as soon as you play it, yes spoils of victory gets you a land untapped, but it's benefit is it lets you get dual lands, which if you wanted untapped, you're likely to pay some life for whereas chromatic lantern would do it for free. It gives you perfect mana, yes you may have a lot of duals as I mentioned above, but no amount of duals will guarantee you have exactly the kind of mana you need like chromatic lantern would.

TL;DR, unless there's too much artifact removal / board sweepers killing your lantern, lantern is better than Spoils

Vlasiax Well for as long as I played this deck, I've never had a max hand problem unless I just bricked on lands in which case I was out of the game anyway haha. Plus, discarding creatures is perfectly fine with some of the reanimator parts of the deck (actually going to try to get Journey to Eternity  ^Flip back in after playing around with it today). Shards was one of the ramps spells I looked at when trying to figure out what to add. I found personal preference for Ranger's Path but can see the argument made for it as it does thin your deck more but won't get them on the field. So it's just what you need.

kameenook In the almost year I've played this deck, I've had a mana problem one time in terms of color fixing and it was because I was bad and didn't search for the right land (getting a second black source for Patriarch's Bidding) earlier in the game when I thought I should've. Essentially having all of these fetches and duals lets me search for whichever land I need and setting up for my spell colors. By the time it reaches late game, land colors don't matter as long as I have a lot. Also I doubt I would get a hand that often with no green mana in it and why would I take a hand with green ramp with no green mana to cast the spells? Seems quite unlikely. Since I can just search for correct lands, it essentially negates the need for Lantern fixing which allows me to cut it for another slot of something else with the deck so tightly packed with cards I'm not wanting to cut. Plus, I've always had a much bigger preference of pulling lands out of my deck to thin and ramp rather than play an artifact that can be destroyed. It may only be one card to thin but sometimes that's makes a big difference.

I'd also like to know what are your thoughts on cards like: Rite of Replication as combo win with Scourge of Valkas and new Fist of Suns creature Jodah, Archmage Eternal - could they be worth a slot in this deck?
Another question is - isn't it too risky to run Karrthus without cards like Homeward Path?

I'll gloss over the big parts of what mana you need or don't need but the big point is Chromantic Lantern is better than Spoils of Victory unless you truly do run into enough artifact destruction. There will never really be a situation where fetching one land out of your deck makes a big difference as you mentioned, because even in sixty card decks the math just doesn't work out that it's providing a significant advantage. Again though, I will concede Chromatic Lantern is worse if you're worried about artifacts getting destroyed, but beyond that if there isn't much artifact destruction going around it just is the superior card.

Vlasiax With Rite there's about 11 creatures worth copying for either their ETB effects or value. I would definitely consider it if I wasn't so tight on space but there is nothing wrong with running it. Jodah is definitely interesting and I haven't given much thought. I originally thought it said "instead of" as in you were forced to pay the mana cost of 5 color which made my lower casting cards suck but it doesn't. However, there are only 12 cards in the entire deck, including the commander, that would benefit from this ability so I would have to decline. I think Jodah should have a deck with her as a Commander if I were to play it in EDH. And yes I'm well aware of Karrthus' ability and use him full knowing the risk behind him. I just like him too much not to. :)

kameenook Okay.

Today I was researching a little bit and found out some interesting cards in other Ur-Dragon builds: Animar, Soul of Elements, Deathrite Shaman, Maelstrom Nexus - could you give your opinion about those cards?

My another question is - are Dromoka, the Eternal, Glorybringer and Yosei, the Morning Star worth giving a shot? Because to me they seem to be too underwhelming but maybe you have some points for them from your playing experience :)

Hope I don't spam too much with these questions, I'm just building similar deck and I'd like to know more about my favourite tribal :D

Vlasiax A majority of the time I feel like Animar will maybe get a few counters on and usually I'm trying to cheat dragons into play with my commander and other means so I doubt it'll be useful especially with having just as many non-creatures. Deathrite is more of a cEDH and Constructed card and scaling isn't really worth a slot. I would love to run Maelstrom Nexus but this may not be the deck for it. It's really cool but I feel like Sunbird's Invocation is slightly better and what I'm wanting if I were to get a slot for it.

Dromoka is in because I have a foil signed one and actually isn't as bad as you think. The little extra buff to my dragons can be useful. Glorybringer I have the Game Day Amonkhet version which looks really cool so that's why I have that. Yosei is actually pretty good because field wiping essentially shuts down an opponent but tapping all of their useful permanents and makes them miss an untap. It gives you an extra turn essentially which has definitely made the difference when I get to use the effect.

Thanks for reply, I'm actually going to try Dromoka myself, because with Ur-Dragon she's a 4-drop and I really need to lower my curve a little bit more :D
But that looks like a problem in most dragon decks - too many 5 CMC cards (yes I'm taking into account from Commander)

Vlasiax

I second Dromoka, the Eternal. I used to think it was kind of underwhelming but boy when your dragons are growing every combat it's simple but powerful.

Have you considered Sylvan Library over Elemental Bond?
And why not adding a few more basic lands instead of taplands and use Cultivate and Kodama's Reach? I think that after you have 5-6 lands it is important to just get lands and land drops not constantly fixing colors.
Also is Nicol Bolas really that useful? I used to play him but I found him to be too cluncky. Here's my actual version of the deck, I'd be grateful if you'd take a look Bow before Draconic King!!!

Vlasiax There will be some new changes next week for Battlebond so be on the lookout for that! Ramp I feel is good enough so adding basics means more slots for ramp which I don't have the room to cut for. I usually just take land heavy lands so I can draw into spells. I've only been able to play Nicol Bolas two times since I've added it. The first time I was dead anyways so it didn't matter and the second time I ripped peoples hands apart so it's unclear. I'll probably keep it because he's cool and it's Nicol Bolas.

I'm looking forward to this update, but I also have suggestion - how about using "CMC:" command with dragons so the curve and Avg. CMC would be on point?
I did that with my deck and helps a lot - in a deck like this there are many cards that cost 5, so its easier to keep track
