Deck Description

With all the dragon decks posted lately, I figured I'd post a deck I tried to build back in the day and never could.

Baneslayer and Dragonstalker have protection from dragons, Scalebane destroys a dragon if it attacks or blocks, and Hivis of the Scale steals dragons. The real smackdown comes from Zirilan of the Claw + Karrthus. Nothing like stealing an army that took 12 turns to build... Akroma is in simply for the intimidation value, and Breath of Life lets me get her out 5th turn.

I also threw in Form of the Dragon to say I was fighting fire with fire.

Yup. It actally holds its own against non-Dragon decks usually simply for the fact that Form of the Dragon, Fortune Thief, and Akroma exsist. I just get so tired of my friends (mostly just one of them) going on and on about how they hate playing their decks becuase they win all the time. I also have an anti-artifact deck, anti-soldier deck, anti-burn deck, and anti-gain-control deck.

I also think that it's quite poetic that a deck designed to slay dragons is composed of the exact colors of St. George's standard...

(For all of those who didn't know, St. George - the patron saint of England - is the main character in the poem form the 1500's called "Spencer's Faerie Queene." In it, he battles and kills a dragon in order to protect a virgin.)

lol. Sorry. I can be a bit of a literary nerd form time to time.

I pulled this one out a couple months ago when my friend got his dragons out and the first thing I did was disard a Rashida Scalebane. "Well Alex, we need to kill Tim (dragon deck), because if we don't, Jenkins (me) will beat us to death with him..."
