Help with Mardu Dragons
Standard Deck Help forum

Tried posting this, but I guess it didn't go through?
Here is the deck:
The comments for the deck are pretty much what I need help with. In essence, how do I combat G/B Elves and Abzan Rally without board sweepers?
I'm sorry, I should clarify further. Since I just recently started playing again, I needed a deck to play. By the time I found out I should really get Anger of the Gods, it seemed not worth it (upcoming rotation). I have all the other cards, for better or worse, so I'm using them. I would like help with the current list. Apologies for the confusion.
Post rotation - I'll think about it when it happens, since losing stormbreath means losing draconic roar which might mean losing the deck.

Ok thanks for clarifying that. Take my advice with a grain of salt but with draconic roar magma spray and virulent plague and hallowed moonlight you should be ok against elves. Idk if you do this but you should board out rabbles for hangarback against them its more defensive especially on the draw. As for rally you could just board in Burn Away and or Tormod's Crypt. if your other matchups are good its ok to board aggressively for bad matchups. Goodluck. Also mardu is definitely possible post rotation and drconic roar is fine with 4 thunderbreaks and 2 kolaghan. I plan on playing it post rotation

Thank you.
That is exactly what I do, actually (minus virulent). It is not that G/B elves is an auto loss, but if I don't burn their FIRST mana producer, it almost is. That is what I've found to be the key. Would you board in Virulent vs elves?
The other matchups are fine, and thus far, I've had no issues. I shied away from tormod's crypt due to it being easier to play around. Not that Hallowed is some magical solution, but it replaces itself. I have not considered Burn Away due to the cost - thanks.
Will you be running 4 copies of roar post rotation?

Yeah i mean idk the elves and rally atchups I never play against them. And I havent tested that much but I am definitely starting with 4 roar yes.

You said in yiur description that yiu didnt put in anger of the gods because it is rotating. A lot of the rest of your deck is too do you want help with the current build or a post rotation build?
