Baleful Strix or Necromaster Dragon?

Commander Deck Help forum

I have a copy of Hypersonic Dragon in my Thraximundar EDH deck, but that creature does not fit the theme of that deck, so I have decided to replace it with another creature, and my current two choices are Baleful Strix and Necromaster Dragon, since theya re both very nice cards, indeed, but I am not certian which of them I should choose.

The strix would reduce the mana curve of the deck, which the deck dearly needs, but it is essentially a powerful blocker, whereas the dragon provides some very nice abilities.

What does everyone else say about this? Which creature should I put into my Thraximundar deck?

Looking at your curve, I'd honestly rather include more MV1 card. As off right now, you have two 1-drops, seven 2-drops and then massively many 3s. You have quite a few big creatures though, so my vote goes to Stubborn Denial. It's a great counter in the early game when everybody is trying to curve out, and with Thraxi out, it's the greatest MV1-prorection you could wish for

I vote Languish. This will wipe out all the easy things to sac. So when you attack with thrax you get something good

seshiro_of_the_orochi, griffstick, I would prefer to replace a creature with another creature, unless there is a non-creature card that is simply too amazing to not put into my deck.
