Pauper Dragons Midrange Mono-Red Ramp Theme/Gimmick

Pauper Mono- Dragons Tribal


Dragons in pauper? Sure why not.

  • This deck is so midrange... How midrange is it? This deck is so midrange it doesn't even have a good Turn 1 play. Put down a land and pass. =(
  • Dragons are expensive, mana-wise, anyway. Thus ramp creatures, like Iron Myr, Generator Servant, Catalyst Elemental and Dragonlord's Servant are helpful.
  • Beyond the creatures mentioned directly above, there's also Vessel of Volatility, as well as Pyretic Ritual and Seething Song (which I will buy more of each soon). With all this ramp going on, casting a -drop dragon should be easy.
  • Dragons include the only -drop dragon in pauper, Dragon Hatchling, the only -drop dragon in pauper, Furnace Whelp, as well as 2x each of Rapacious Dragon and Sparktongue Dragon.
  • Thrill of Possibility is an instant, thus you can leave mana untapped during your opponent's turn and use it to pump a blocker if you have to... or cast this card before the end of your opponent's turn.
  • The same is true for my chosen removal, Lightning Bolt. Leave mana up to play mind games with your opponent, and then deal three damage to something out of nowhere.
  • Looming Spires is intended to give first strike to something with a little butt, like Dragon Hatchling or Furnace Whelp, helping them to survive attacking into bigger things.
  • Quicksand is included because I like the card and it can help deal with stupid little ground things that your dragons don't wanna eat.

NOTE: Ideally, I would be using 4x Iron Myr instead of 4x Catalyst Elemental, 4x Rite of Flame instead of Vessel of Volatility and 4x Seething Song instead of Pyretic Ritual. But I own what I own until I eventually buy more.
