Deck Description

My attempt at making a Dragon tribal Deck. I was looking at the available colors for Dragons and I decided to try taking it in an Izzet direction, since there are a few red-blue dragons I wanted to try using but then I ended up taking most of them out. I added a Dragon Broodmother to trigger Scourge of Valkas more, and to make use of Cavern of Souls' mana-fixing. Also, the dragon tokens will be quite strong with Door of Destinies or Crucible of Fire.

How to Play

Pretty straightforward, you basically just play your dragons. There are only a couple of tricks here.

Niv-Mizzet, The Firemind (definitely better than Dracogenius) and Curiosity will allow you to infinitely loop dealing 1 damage to whatever you want and drawing a card.

If you enchant Spellbound Dragon with Curiosity, it will also help you draw an extra card when you attack to make up for discarding. A lot of the cards have a fairly high cost, so you should be able to add significant power to Spellbound Dragon.

Archwing Dragon is great because it returns to your hand so you can keep triggering Door of Destinies and Scourge of Valkas.

Thanks a lot for the comment and your input! I'll think about what draw cards I can use to really synergize with this deck, and maybe focus a bit less on Door of Destinies.

If you ta a look at my deck, milling to exile, a few main cards i would use would be Venser's journal, Psychosis crawler, Mindcrank, and maybe Jace's erasure. lol but Mercurial chemist would be amazing in this deck lol

Cool deck and those are some interesting cards. I do love Mindcrank and Mercurial Chemister, but they're a bit too expensive to not be a Dragon, since they won't set off any of the Dragon tribal triggers. Same with Psychosis Crawler. I may make a new deck with those cards though. I'll need a lot more card draw to make things like Jace's Erasure and Venser's Journal useful in this deck. Thanks for the ideas though, maybe I'll make a new deck with all those cards and less of a Dragon theme!

yeah, i'd figure that was the drawback lol that it wouldn't be a dragon deck anymore, but i like it how it is, maybe there's a few things out there that we haven't come across lol
