So, in this deck I am trying to respond to the healthy local EDH meta. The grand idea is Azorius Voltron Dragon Control. It sounds silly, & yeah I admit it might be, but with at least three players in the area running very different Commander decks, all running the auto-counter Sorcery, I decided to try a versatile deck which could counter their strategy. Blood Moon is also VERY popular, so I wanted to run several of my lands which, even as mountains, would generate mana of any color. Midrange ramp I expect to still be an uphill struggle, but luckily I haven't seen many of the locals playing real aggro (mono-red burn & the like) which I suspect is going to be an achilles heel for this deck. Now to tech...

I am using Voltron Dragons to be the real threats on the battlefield, & the Gods, partially because I own them, & partially as a "cheaper" wrath-resistant board presence to apply a little pressure! I am falling in love with my awesome Commander, partially because he's fairly cheap & easy to recur from the Command Zone, but mostly for making all my beautiful little Instant & Sorcery Spells (as well as those ALL IMPORTANT & expensive dragons!) uncounterable! Also, I absolutely LOVE Azorius... Always have!

With this in mind, I need to figure out which spells are going to be the most important to my strategy, & have a few versions of each important effect in this work in progress.

Thank you for taking a second to take a look, & while I am working on the streamlining of this pile into a tight deck, please, please, please comment with suggestions on cuts, replacements & the like! It truly would help me out A LOT!
