Story Time: I first got into MTG when some of my college students stayed after a class with their card binders open and started trading. I'd always known about MTG, but never got into it. I remember asking them a few things about how the game works. I noticed a few dragon cards in their binders and finally asked, "Can I just use dragons in a deck?" They both looked at each other and kind of laughed. "No," they said, "It'd be too mana intensive and it wouldn't be very competitive."

Now it's The Ur-Dragon to the rescue. I've been running a Xenagos deck since I first got into commander soon after my student interaction and have been fascinated by the big, expensive dragon cards in the MTG range. Well, the king of all dragons is now going to be my first 5-color deck! I'm not excited about many of the cards in the precon deck, except for the commanders. I have most of the dragons in the deck, but lets add some spicy choices!

Would love some C&C on this build!
