This deck is my soul, I originally made this deck due to a friend whom was constantly flexing on me with his own Reanimator. Things like Praetors, Angels and Demons, the whole Griselbrand thing. When I first began playing MtG I wanted to do a Reanimator but I hesitated when I learned he had already done so, but this is now my answer. I've lived by the theme that Only The Weak Need to Lead By Control, but, enough with introductions, here's how it's played.
There isn't anything in Magic that can't be solved with beating to death so what better than Dragons? There's a Dragon for just about anything that needs an answer, this is where the ungodly Sideboard comes in. The whole point of the deck is to allow exchanging of Creature's out of the Sideboard as much as necessary, and most choices have their perks that come with them. Where the Dragonlord Archetype covers mostly what needs to be covered in a regular day, they can be maneuvered around still, so the Dragons in the Sideboard will change accordingly. For example. One of my biggest curse's is Angels like Iona who can lock down Reanimator super hard by shutting off your spells, so we have Ramos and Ventmaw who can create mana for hard casting, Vivid Marsh and Crag are there to make sure they can get to the field still. But, for the most part, anyone can tell why some choices exist here.
How to play this deck is fairly simple but takes an eye for recognition of any combos that unveil themselves mid-play. Always remember that both Bladewing, The Risen and Bladewing Thrall are the engine to achieve overwhelming power and if the right choices align, or even the stars themselves show you the way, they can combo into Dragonlord Kolaghan for a sweet 13 Damage combo even on the very first turn.
I know Legacy isn't too popular anymore but I'd like to take a moment to ask that if there are any (Preferably Dragon) Creatures out there that NEED to be introduced to this deck, please let me know, I'm open to all possibilities if it means making the deck stronger.
Thank you,
