After playing in so many drafts of Dragons of Tarkir, I decided to throw this deck together for casual play with my friends. It actually worked out really well, for not investing a whole lot.

The idea is to hide behind the little guys, removal and counter spells, until the larger Dragons can come out. The Exploit mechanic works well onPalace Familiar and Shambling Goblin, and great with Ruthless Deathfang

Coat with Venom is great for quick spot removal. Butcher's Glee is tremendously useful for life gain, chump blocking and keeping your creatures alive. It's probably one of my favorite cards from the set.

The Silumgar Monument is good for mana ramp then, using as a finisher later. These monument artifact cards have won me more games than I had ever expected.

The dragons speak for themselves. I only wanted to run 1 copy of each (blue, black or blue/black from the Fate and Dragons set) for this deck to keep it interesting.

Update: Changed from Standard to Modern since this rotated out some time ago.
