Question. Do we need to submit both a dragon and knight deck?

I have a Knight deck, but do not have time to create a dragon deck at this time. =/

I would prefer you do both, but if you can only do one that's fine.

I just don't have any time to do much of anything right now :(

I'll make the dragon half when I get a chance...but for now I'll just link to my knights.

Here`s my entry for the Dragon deck. A friend of mine ran something very similar to this, it`s quite fast.

The deck runs 3 Dragonspeaker Shamans and 4 Urzas Incubators for a reason, it being that there`s not always an answer to artifacts, while creatures are vulnerable to damage and even more so to removal.
The deck packs 3 Sarkhan the Mad, assuring that you get atleast one per game, since his ultimate is pretty much a KO strike with 4 dragons in play. Not that even 4 are necessary, for you`ll be constantly beating your opponent with Thralls and goblins.
Bladewing's Thralls are the ultimate blockers/attackers, you never have to worry about them dieing, for if they do, they`ll just return as soon as a dragon comes into play.
There`s enough mana acceleration to get a dragon as soon as turn 2 into play, even if it`s just a Furnace Whelp(which is infact much better than Dragon Whelp).

I was also thinking of Dragonmaster Outcasts, but somehow they`re much more troublesome than useful. They`re always targets for removal, but not that that`s even important. Dragon Fodder serves better purposes than they - Devour for Predator Dragon and also sacrifice material for Sarkhan.
The deck packs 10 dragons and 3 dragon makers(Sarkhans).
Hope you enjoy!

Here are my entries to this challenge:

I tried to stick as much as possible with the overall theme in the Dragon deck, but the Knight deck... was too stupid so I revamped it.

The Dragon deck I made has now more ways of getting goblins and even exploits them for a good mana ramp.

The Knight deck is a Concorted effort type focusing on creature hoarding and huge creature buffing. The only problem is the mana curve but I'm not so sure how to rectify the problem being limited to having singles or doubles of cards.

Hope they are to your liking. :D

This is the Knight deck. I've taken things out that are useless and added in more removal, more knights of a certain kind, and taken out some bad ones.

This is a more focused Dragon deck. I've had this deck before, but I stopped using it because I wanted to make other stuff. Could pull out east dragons on turn 3-4.
