ADVENTURES IN THE FORGOTTEN REALMS UPDATE —July 23, 2021

Really aggressive dragon and offers some lifelink as well but with the mana cost and the body it provides, it gets outscaled very quickly.

Way too expensive of a dragon for such a low impact ability that other dragons do so much better.

Way too expensive of a dragon for such a low impact ability that won’t matter in a game of EDH.

Very interesting ability and cheap cost in the deck but would rather be able to make use of this dragon multiple times in decks such a blink deck for example.

This dragon offers an easy recursive threat for 3 mana that’s difficult to get rid of. However, having to keep double black mana up every turn to be able to recast them isn’t really feasible in this deck. Plus, when you do recur him, the 5/2 body can easily be walled by other cheap creature/tokens in the format that renders the card useless.

The equipment that dragon makes isn’t impactful enough for the dragons in this deck to where I would rather just be casting more dragons than equipping the artifact so at that point it’s just a cheap creature.

The uncounterable part about this dragon is nice but the pump ability isn’t feasible enough to ever make use of. Better suited in a mono red deck that can make a lot of mana. At that point, it’s just a big dumb flying creature with haste which there are better options for that aren’t currently in the deck.

This was a close one to want to include but couldn’t find the space for but is a dragon that could come into the list at any point. Very similar to Dragonlord Ojutai in being somewhat hard to deal with and gives you some card draw on dealing damage. This dragon can refill your entire hand, depending on who you hit, and can bring you back into the game if everyone else has resources. But with the deck already having some better card draw effects now, I felt like I didn’t need it at this point in time.

This is a limited card. Not an EDH card.

Very cool Dungeon card. However, if you don’t cast this as early as possible, the effect just isn’t worth it since there’s no other Dungeon cards in the deck. I think this is better suited for being it’s own commander rather in the 99 of this deck.

Better for a landfall deck instead of a dragon deck to be able to make as many ventures as possible.

Way too expensive of a dragon for such a low impact ability that other dragons do so much better.

Very aggressive and offers some gameplay with your opponents. However, not being able to attack a particular player can be very bad in a lot of instances.

The body on this creature is too fragile for me to want to include this over a harder to answer card like an enchantment or artifact that will let me draw cards. Not to mention the dragons have to live and be able to connect with an opponent to draw a card. I would suggest this in a budget build as it’s cheap and can replace some of the more expensive card drawing engines.

I like this dragon a lot. I think it would be better in a more political deck or one that can goad creatures more often but definitely a solid dragon in a budget build.

If I already didn’t own a dragon deck, I would build this dragon as an EDH deck. It’s so cool and can offer a unique type of deck. However, in this deck, with no ways of rolling dice or being able to ping itself the card is useless. Again, better as the commander of a deck rather than part of the 99.

Tiamat > Shadrix Silverquill

This dragon has had me hyped since it was spoiled. It offers a very easy tutor package to obtained that can very effectively kill one or multiple people if you have enough mana to cast everything in the same turn. After casting Tiamat, the dragons you want to search for are Morophon, the Boundless, Dragonlord Kolaghan if you need a mass haste card, any of the 5 color dragons including O-Kagachi, Vengeful Kami and Scion of the Ur-Dragon, Scion of Draco to grant keywords to all the dragons, and Atarka, World Render to give them all double strike. 6 mana for Morophon makes the 5 color dragons free, Scion of Draco will only cost one mana if you have the 5 colors of mana on the field and then 3 mana for either haste with Kolaghan or double strike with Atraka. Usually, the deck tops out at 10 mana so having this all happen in one turn is possible. Also, might warrant bringing back in Sneak Attack to really abuse the tutor but I don’t find it necessary right now to include nor can I find the space. Shadrix was cool to give some card draw and play some politics but with other dragons just being staples in the list, something had to get cut and it ended up being this one.

Old Gnawbone > Esika, God of the Tree  ^Flip

This card is insane. One of the hardest things with the deck is to keep ball rolling and casting more dragons to make use of drawing cards from enchantments and the such. With Gnawbone coming in at the top end after casting a few dragons beforehand, you can easily make 10+ mana after swinging to get more enchantments on to the field or cast even more dragons. This dragon will definitely be making a permanent spot in the deck. With Esika, I felt like I never wanted to cast the front side to be able to always cast the back side and get value. But with how powerful the card is and how much of a target it has on it, I never stuck around long enough to get value or the creatures it put into play weren’t impactful to justify the slot.

Orb of Dragonkind > Faeburrow Elder

A Dragon themed mana rock is so good for the deck with how many different multi-colored creature there are. Filtering is something the deck could definitely use. Also having the ability to replaced itself with the activated ability for so cheap make it even more enticing if you manage to flood out or can’t find a threat. Faeburrow was excellent ramper but didn’t fit into the dragon theme as much as this so making the change. I would bring back Faeburrow if I managed to make room.

Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient > Hellkite Tyrant

I’d have to get more games in with this dragon to see if I want to keep it around as I’m still on the fence about it. But this is something I’ve been wanting for the deck for years. Savage Ventmaw I always thought was a cool dragon but no haste and only making red and green mana was such a turn off of wanting to run it. With Klauth, you have potential to just make a ton of mana on the swing to be able to deploy more things post combat with any color. It’s a little expensive but again, we’ll see how it turns it. Hellkite Tyrant ended up getting the boot due to the lack of artifacts being present in the meta plus there have been very few instances that come up to where it’s a big swing in the game in taking a lot of artifacts that catapult me ahead so the ability hasn’t felt necessary.
