Here i claim the flesh and the mountain, the abyss and the stars, for i am the First, the Father and the Flame!

My wings are the night, my breath is the sun. Admire my magnificence, oh ash, and despair!



Hallo!
This is the enhanched version of my comboless Ur-Dragon commander deck and it's constantly evolving 'cause new big dragons are coming all the time. Although I am well aware that it would be possible to optimize it even further within the boundaries of bracket 3, I'm really trying to sync its power level to my playgroup's. Enjoy!

With the introduction of the Triomes from Ikoria, i've reworked my mana base entirely. All the original trilands (Savage Lands,Arcane Sanctum ecc.) have been abandoned in favor of Triomes and Fetches. I added the 10 shocklands, Cavern of Souls (finally) and rebalanced my basic lands.
I removed O-Kagachi, Vengeful Kami and Fist of Suns, consequently i decided to remove Spirit of Resistance too.
Removed Oblivion Ringfoil and Boneyard Scourge for Dragon Broodmother and Nesting Dragon. This deck requires a large number of Dragons to enter the battlefield and attack in order to generate the most value. Tokens can do that.
Removed Descendants' Path and added Collective Restraint.
I'm now considering to insert Draco (having all the basic land types in play is very common for this deck and with the help of some mana reductors it could be played for /) and i'm evaluating the actual effectiveness of Prismatic Omen.
Removed Utter End and Gift of Immortality for Despark and Chromatic Orrery. The Orrery could be a major source of card draw (which i badly need) and Despark is just a cheaper upgrade on Utter End (almost never played on permanents with a low mana value).
Removed Teneb, the Harvester for Shadrix Silverquill too.
Removed 1x Swamp for Scion of Draco. I've considered Draco as a potential addition for a long time, then the Scion was spoiled and i felt the stars were aligned. The deck always feels a little mana flooded, so i'm trying to remove a land for it. Let's see how it goes.
Update from the Forgotten Realms!
Removed Dragonlord's Servant for Orb of Dragonkind and a Swamp for Temple of the Dragon Queen, mandatory upgrades without sacrificing the theme. Ryusei, the Falling Starfoil has been cutted out for Tiamat (duh) and i'm still considering if/how to throw in Iymrith, Desert Doom, Dragonborn Champion and Old Gnawbone.
Removed Brave the Sands for Reconnaissance. More offensive shenanigans, cheaper cost.
With the arrival of Baldur's Gate a large influx of new and interesting dragons has come. Now the deck has finally come far too distant from its 2.0 version, so i'm switching to 3.0.

Adding Secluded Courtyard, Aura Shards, Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm, Earthquake Dragon, Lozhan, Dragons' Legacy, Wrathful Red Dragon and Thrakkus the Butcher, Toxic Deluge.
Removing Unclaimed Territory, Spit Flame, Ramos, Dragon Enginefoil, Chromatic Orrery, Sunscorch Regent, Deathbringer Regentfoil and Hellkite Tyrant, Rhystic Study.

Herald's Horn is out too for Rivaz of the Claw. Rivaz it seems an upgrade in terms of mana utility and "dragons advantage". Let's see how it goes.
This is the biggest update from deck's creation and it comes after the release of Tarkir: Dragonstorm. Some unreported change has been made since the last update, so I'll include it in here too. The landbase has been heavily reworked and I took the decision to "break" the theme a little by inserting some very efficient non dragon-related dorks. Some dragons are gone, some have been added. Let's see how this rolls out.

Removed Cultivatefoil, Kodama's Reach, Earthquake, Dragon's Hoard, Dragonspeaker Shamanfoil, Farseekfoil, Urza's Incubator, Toxic Deluge, The Prismatic Bridge  , Zagoth Triome, Savai Triome, Indatha Triome, Raugrin Triome,Kindred Discovery, Mirari's Wakefoil, Secluded Courtyardfoil, Lightning Greaves, Coalition Relic, Balefire Dragon, Fiery Emancipation, Frontier Siege, Kilnmouth Dragon, Lozhan, Dragons' Legacy, Nesting Dragon, Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius, Nicol Bolas, the Ravager  , Wasitora, Nekoru Queen, Scion of the Ur-Dragon, Shadrix Silverquill, Keiga, the Tide Star, Ojutai, Soul of Winter, Animate Dead, 1x Forest, 1x Island, 2x Mountain, 1x Plains and 1x Swamp.
