My Dragon Swarm deck featuring The Ur-Dragon at the helm gets a lot of flak for being too overpowered despite being nothing close to cEDH power levels. Therefore, I have decided to make an even lower-powered tribal deck with not only zero tutors and (s)tax spells, but also zero fast mana and free interaction spells. With the exception of some lands and board protection spells, I even purposely left out a good chunk of, what I'd consider completely fair, EDH staples and reserved list cards like Rhystic Study, Smothering Tithe, Tundra, Mana Drain, Cyclonic Rift, etc. that other people might consider to be too salty or overpriced for casual play. This deck basically has the same goal as my Dragon Swarm deck except it's lacking 3 colors, the same firepower (pun-intended), and the eminence mana reducing ability in the command zone. Let's see if it still somehow gets a lot of hate...or am I just a magnet for player removal? Hmm...

One notable combo is:

Aerial Extortionist + Meneldor, Swift Savior . Bonus Points if you have Roaming Throne and/or Aven Interrupter on the field.

Despite the power level drop, this deck can run a couple on-theme infinite combos without needing infinite mana or any zero drop artifacts. I choose not to run them since people get too salty over the lamest things:

1. infinite damage (and possibly infinite mana) using Blasting Station + Junk Diver + Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle + Dire Mimic along with any artifact mana reducer such as Jhoira's Familiar and/or Cloud Key. Note that if you run zero drop mana rocks, you wouldn't need Dire Mimic and mana reducers.

2. infinite damage (and possibly infinite mana) using Blasting Station + Glint Hawk + Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle + Sol Ring or Basalt Monolith assuming you have the mana rocks untapped or you have any cost-reduced mana rock with the help of Jhoira's Familiar and/or Cloud Key.
