Have you considered Somberwald Sage ? It gets you tons of mana for more dragons. It's at least better than Gilded Lotus here. I think your ramp package could use an update. I would go:

4 Arbor Elf

4 Birds of Paradise

4 Utopia Sprawl

4 Somberwald Sage

4 Courser of Kruphix

This is much more reliable and explosive. You can either do "slow" ramp with dorks and Courser of Kruphix or fast with Somberwald Sage . This also allows for a T3 Balefire Dragon .

I'd go up to 4 Dragon Broodmother and cut 1 Crucible of Fire since Broodmaster is so good and Crucible isn't good without dragons. I also recommend splashing blue for Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius for some card draw. Scourge of Valkas is also an awesome dragon that will deal a ton of damage of the course of the game.

I love the deck, +1 from me.

I like Somberwald Sage a lot! I chose to mainboard 3 of them over 2x Gilded Lotus and 1x Crucible of Fire .

Thanks for the suggestion! :3

I like this deck a lot reminds me of a standard deck I had back in ISD/Scars, anyway since you have 4 Somberwald Sage have you considered a 1 of Mikaeus, the Unhallowed ? Giving your dragons undying just makes your opponent cry a little ;)

Sarkhan the Mad because they're not dead enough already.

4x Arbor Elf and 4x Somberwald Sage makes you very dead to Pyroclasm or Wrath of God .

Love the deck. Nice job. +1

smithereen: That's why I have Gilded Lotus and Cultivate in my sideboard.

Thanks kj72454! And thank you all for the suggestions.

Dragonmaster Outcast could work in here, great deck might have to make one like it :) .

Yeah, I actually really like that card in the deck. The problem is that if I wanted to utilize Dragonmaster Outcast to it's full potential, I'd have to revert my ramping package back to the less-efficient version I had earlier.

Dragonmaster Outcast is a killer sideboard choice though, and it's going in there for now!

Thanks for the suggestion man! :D

Scourge of Valkas should be in your main board.. the synergy with Utvara Hellkite is just crazy..

I don't want to get rid of any of the cards in my mainboard to put Scourge of Valkas in. I have him in the sideboard for a reason, and he has been carefully considered.

Here's a troll suggestion (meaning don't take it seriously) but you could put Hivestone in here. Cause everyone likes sliver decks :)

Sliver Dragons? Good sir, I believe that would be going too far. I don't want to be banned from every playgroup ever for being unstoppably OP. :3

Sciophobia says... #19

Lol. That would be funny. I understand man. My friend has a Dragon deck too and if he attacks with a Dragon Hatchling Scourge and utvara go off and automatically deal a a whole lot of damage. That's why I said that but I really do like this deck.

Hey if you ever want to take it in more of a Utvara Hellkite direction and find yourself having lots of mana, Hellkite Charger could come into use.

Smellygoat11 says... #21

I feel like I'm putting all my eggs in one basket if I use Hellkite Charger 's ability though!

Thanks for the suggestion though, it's a cool idea!

What makes you feel that way about Charger? His ability allows you to invest mana and advance your game without spending more cards from your hand.

That, and his natural haste is huge in a five-power flyer. I think you could cut 1-2 Balefire Dragon and 0-1 Dragon Broodmother for him easily.

Smellygoat11 In a way yes, and I agree he isn't right for this deck. Just in the fitire if you decide to switch it up a bit.

His haste, as states above by smithereen, is nice.

Smellygoat11 says... #24

I agree, it is a great card, just not one that fits this deck perfectly :)

I might grab some Hellkite Charger s if I decide to switch the deck up in the future!

We may see some new power for our decks soon seeing how khanes, coming out in september, revolves around dragons.
