So just an Update: When the Commander 2017 Dragon deck was released I knew Ramos would be great for the deck. And sure enough he now replaced Progenitus as the leader behind this deck. This is an extremely fast deck. Ramos, Dragon Engine is an insane commander as he allows you to use your deck like a toolbox. The original idea behind the structure of this deck was to be creative. Progenitus served his purpose well as when cast (which was more often than not, turn 5) he was hard to deal with...but spending 10 or even five on him really didn't progress the deck that much. Ramos pretty much solves this. He makes the deck go from 0-200MPH very fast when you start casting a lot. Now we take the idea from Progenitus Cascade and take the Cascade mechanic, mix it with Ramos and now we have an insanely fast deck.

There are plenty of combos to go around in the deck and the most common one is also my favorite that I discovered not too long ago. The combo is using Ramos, Dragon Engine + Verdurous Gearhulk . The combo is when you cast Vurdurous Gearhulk when Ramos is already out there will be two triggers going off. First put the one counter on Ramos from Vurdurous and then put all four counters onto Ramos making him have 5 counters.

So take a look and enjoy. I'm always open to suggestions so if there's something you wanna share or critique, by all means I'm all open for any ideas and I would appreciate the help. This deck is my pride and joy :)
