Deck Description

Kaervaek is no longer the general; his lack of being a dragon was a major weakness.
Malfegor is the new general; he fits far better with the style of the deck, as well as allowing me to wreck opposing fields at will.

This deck makes use of draconian and demonic agro, supported by the cruellest enchantments available

-> Dragon's are back in force, since I have recently acquired several Mythic-grade dragons and dragon-support.

The deck shown here is as I have it on my desk, based on real cards, and I am somewhat limited by not being a millionaire.

Comments, suggestions and advice are welcome.

Deck discussion for Draconian Lockdown EDH

When playing Black in EDH, you really want to try to include all the search that makes black so OP. Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, Diabolic Intent, etc. all help you gather the resources you need asap. Further, life for draw cards help black pull away from the pack considering the life regenrrarion black can iffer. Look, additionlly, towards Browbeat for some extra cards as well.

If you get a chance, i welcome any feedback you can offer to my B/W land destruction deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=177406 ). However, if that deck doesn't suit your tastes, feel free to click on my name to see my complete deck list. Thanks!

I'm trying to acquire more tutor cards; in addition to those you suggested, I also like Beseech the Queen. Browbeat is also a good call (I think I have one somewhere).
Can you name some better pay life/draw cards other than Sign in Blood? I tried running Phyrexian Arena, but it seemed to cost me too much life in the long run...

If Arena was costing you too much life, the ither alternatives probably wont help much more. Necropotence and Yawgmoths Bargain are your best alternatives. If you do that, you have to dedicate life gain to the build. Corrupt, Syphon Soul, Drain Life, Exsanguinate, Consume Spirit, etc. could take care of that.

It should be noted that I am also limited by cost, since this is a deck I have built in real life, and I am no millionaire.

i would recomend putting Red Sun's Zenith in there its crazy good with your tutor abilities
and maybe bringer of the black dawn for more tutor

also i think that 33 lands is a bit in the short end

I took out some x-damage spells since trying to hit 40 damage was proving quite hard. If I could find some reliable damage-multiplication effects, I might bring them back.
Though now I consider it, 'Red Sun-shuffle- tutor-Red Sun again' is actually pretty awesome. Thanks :3

As for land, I'm not sure how many land you'd recommend, but I run quite a lot of mana sources. I tend to get the mana I want, when I want it though...

Lastly, Bringer of the Black Dawn is awesome. I shall; do my best to acquire one.
