The decks main goal is to tutor up Dragons and use them to control the board and beat your opponents down. The deck is loaded with sac outlets so the dragons aren't exiled by Zirilan's ability, and artifacts that put them back into the library so you can recur them.
Key dragons are:Hoading Dragon: tutors up artifacts. This guy does a lot of work to help the deck set up. I usually go for mana doublers first as the deck is very mana hungry.Thunder Dragon: board wipe for non-flyers. Conveniently Zirilan will survive as he has 4 toughness.Bogardan Hellkite: targeted creature removal.Balefire Dragon: one-sided wrath if someone is open.Steel Hellkite, Hoard-smelter dragon: non-creature hate.Worldgorger Dragon, Changeling Berserker: tutor these up in response to removal aimed at Zirilan to protect him. Worldgorger can save your entire board from a wrath but is very risky - if he's removed in response to the ETB trigger then your board will be permanently exiled. Fortune favours the bold!Dragon Mage: Wheel of Fortune on a stick. Refills your hand and disrupts combo decks by forcing them to discard their pieces.Knollspine Dragon: use when another player has been damaged to refill your hand.Hellkite Tyrant: surprise attacking an opponent who is open to permanently steal their mana rocks is nasty. The deck runs enough artifacts to make the alt. win condition relevant too.Dragon Tyrant: the main win con. With lots of mana doublers and rocks he can be pumped enough to kill players. If you can generate more combat steps its possible to kill the whole table.I play the deck converatively at first. The key is to be not too big a threat early on - once people start seeing big dragons you'll start to feel the heat. Zirilan can control the board early on by tutoring for the removal dragons which will buy you time until you have assembled your machine. Zirilan ability exiles at the beginning of the next end step, so you can tutor during the opponent to your right's end step and you'll keep the dragon until the end of your turn. This allows you to tutor another dragon during your turn - something I do when I'm going for the win.I've found the ideal starting hand includes a cheap sac outlet (the free ones are best) and some mana rocks. Zirilan can tutor up most of the rest of the deck via Hoarding Dragon if you have a sac outlet. Remember to mulligan away any dragons from your opening hand - I've often got funny looks as I've exiled just a single card. While you can eventually hardcast dragons the decks power early on is being able to pull any of them out at instant speed.
