I think if you go avatar you need servant of the scale. Only other possibles could be perhaps Explosive Vegetation and maybe Haven of the Spirit Dragon.

20/20 World Eater FTW, great deck man, love the combos, and the art choices are great as well (I love it when people take into account the full arts!!). Will definitely be looking for this deck when playing FNM,looks like my puny blue control needs some work.

I've been doing A LOT of playtesting with this deck because I like it so much, +1 from me!
The only thing I can say is that perhaps you may be underrating Sunscorch Regent a little bit.
I copied this deck for private playtesting (don't worry, it's not publicly viewable and I haven't taken credit for it or anything like that), but I did make some minor changes, one of which was adding 2 Sunscorch Regent and removing 2 Enduring Scalelord.
I found that Sunscorch Regent was cheaper to cast, easier to cast (being mono-colored) and got very big very quickly, simply because if an opponent wants to play at all, they have to cast spells. It gains you ridiculous amounts of life while getting big at the same time.
I understand the infinite combo with 2 Enduring Scalelords but I just found that having 4 Sunscorch Regents were much better in any given situation. I also noticed that pulling off the infinite combo was more or less a "win more" scenario, a situation in which you're already ridiculously ahead.
Anyway, those are just my opinions. I love this deck, awesome work!

I love the deck, Dromoka is one of my favorite dragonlords, next to Atarka. I did what a few others did and made a decklist of this in private, for personal reference, so I hope you don't mind. I really want to give this a go.

Take out one of the Shaman, of the forgotten ways and add an abzan battle priest , since of all the counters

i would suggest some Fleecemane Lions as they will give you board presence in the early game

maxmuftic i dont think 1 Abzan Battle Priest is enough to sacrifice the consistency of 4 Shaman of Forgotten Ways. I personally made this deck with some tweaks to it and the Shamans work great and i wouldn't take them out.

Gotta say this is a deck I very much enjoy. Kudos on that! With that being said, I think you should cut a land or two out of the build to make room for a few more spells. Mono-Green Devotion is my bread and butter and I only play 20 lands, just to give you an idea where I'm coming from. Anyways, hope this advice works out for you.

+1 from me . this is a great deck my only concern is what do you do versus a Stormbreath Dragon on turn 5 ? the only thing i see is Polukranos, World Eater+Dromoka's Command. dont get me wrong this is a great build and i would love to play this.

Polukranos, World Eater+Dromoka's Command wont work vs a Stormbreath Dragon due to the dromoka's command being unable to target stormbreath. So that is still a major weakness that this deck has i would suggest replacing the Scaleguard Sentinels with Avatar of the Resolute.

Looks like fun, but I'd be hoping no one was playing monored against me...

Have you thought about adding in Surrak, the Hunt Caller? Possibly switching out Polukranos, World Eater for him. Surrak would add a ton more speed to this deck allowing you swing instantly with any of your big dragon drops. And if you switch him out for the hydra, it doesn't take away from any of your dragons. Just a thought. Feel free to check out my GW +1/+1 counter deck: Dromoka's Resolve.

Been playing with this build and tweaking it to see how to make it a little better (on private of course) and I've found a couple of things I'd like to point out. For one thing throwing out [Frontier Siege] for [Citadel Siege] would be much more suitable to this builds main designs, especially late game. Also, [Fleecemane Lion] is better off being in main board instead of [Polukranos, World Eater] for the simple reason that the lion proves to be more of a threat if the monstrosity goes off. Another thing I should add is to throw in a couple copies of [Haven of the Spirit Dragon]. Again good late game card and helps get back any dragons you lose to removal. I plan on running more tests on this so see you again soon.

Nice, Enduring Scalelord is so broken. I was beat with two of them going infinite in a draft no less lol.

Maybe Surrak, the Hunt Caller? Have you considered Elvish Mystic over Sylvan Caryatid? I think this deck is great and has TONS of potential

Tried it out a bit. Loved the flavor but it does seem to struggle to get its game plan online. Like for example, a few times I'd have gotten out an early Shaman of Forgotten Ways, but only have a couple Sieges and a Dromoka's Command in hand which the Shaman can't help with. Maybe replacing the Shaman with Elvish Mystic is a better compromise.
I think a Surrak is a good fit in this deck, especially with the Scaleguard Sentinels. Dragonlord Dromoka is a bff with Surrak too.
Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit is a cool 'have my buds back' kind of creature. But you'd probably have to play some Mana Confluence if you're playing both her and Scaleguard Sentinels.
If you decide to go Mastery of the Unseen, I'd encourage shifting your creature base more towards Whisperwood Elemental, Deathmist Raptor, and Den Protector. But that would kill a lot of your flavor you've got going so I wouldn't recommend it.
There's also Haven of the Spirit Dragon. You should have enough dragons running to make it worthwhile.

With so many Dragons, I would run Orator of Ojutai instead of Nyx-Fleece Ram.
April 16, 2015 9:15 p.m.
Servant of the Scale is a good one drop for this deck.

Frontier Siege was pretty underwhelming in play testing for me. Mana was generally covered by shamans and caryatids. I would replace with Citadel Siege and/or more Dromoka's Command. Both have awesome synergy with Hardened Scales and the command gives removal.
