MTG Combo: Fist of Suns + Morophon, the Boundless

This looks like a great take on a budget Ur-Dragon deck! While I'm new to EDH/Commander, I'm in the midst of putting together a similar commander deck with the Ur-Dragon on this site at least. I definitely appreciate the amount of detail you put in constructing this with input on why certain cards that might fit were excluded, and why getting greedy and throwing down all your dragons each turn might not be the best move.

While talking to someone at an MTG event at PAX East this year, they showed me their Ur-Dragon deck and it included Fist of Suns + Morophon, the Boundless to increase the likelihood of getting dragons out faster. I understand you prefer other ways of mana ramping besides artifacts since they can get destroyed later in the game, but with the best case scenario of playing Fist of Suns on turn 3 and then landing enough mana to get Morophon, the Boundless in play with your other sources of mana ramp you can really start churning out dragons for free with this interaction.

Also, the upcoming Baldur's Gate set has some artifacts which might fit here. Dragonkind Orbs like Carnelian Orb of Dragonkind could benefit the deck if you don't mind adding some more artifacts in the deck, although these orbs could be counter-intuitive if the Fist of Suns combo is active. It could still be a good backup source of mana and adding extra value to casting dragons.

That Fist of Suns + Morophon, the Boundless interaction was awesome. I hadn’t seen that before. Good stuff!
