Let me break it down to you real quick because this is by far the best deck I've come up with:
Pre-BFZ: Abazan and Mardu dragons were fairly dominant, found ways to take down the Esper-era and even the RDW-era. Why? I credit 4 cards
Crackling Doom
Draconic Roar
and
Siege Rhino
Thunderbreak Regent
. We know them, we hate/love them. They're so cheap for what they do and they are dangerous. Not only do they all 2-for-1, but
Siege Rhino
is so dangerous, if he isn't removed, your opponent is in trouble. Same goes of
Thunderbreak Regent
.
Do the math:
- Regent/Rhino damage: 24
- Crackling Doom/Draconic damage: 20
- Total damage without attacking: 44
Siege Rhino
also heals,
Foul-Tongue Invocation
Sacs and heals,
Dragonlord Dromoka
cant be countered/heals.
Silkwrap
For Jace,
Mantis Rider
,
Deathmist Raptor
,
Den Protector
Utter End
is just
Hero's Downfall
but can exile
Post-BFZ: A shitty set, but added a component that is the bread and butter of the meta:
The Land
4-Colors is now possible. We've seen Jeskai-Black do some amazing things. Now that the land base is so rich, this deck is possible. I have no major-BFZ cards because frankly, BFZ is bad.
THE UNINCLUDED
Atarka's Command
Deathmist Raptor
Den Protector
Dromoka's Command
Simply: I don't have them and I don't want too much green. This is dominantly a Mardu deck and intended to be that way, splash for Rhino/Dromoka, GG.
I also don't see a use for the commands to risk being mana screwed because they are only 2-drops.
