Would appreciate help with my red dragon deck

Standard Deck Help forum

Posted on March 9, 2019, 9:42 a.m. by frosthammer_eden

Most mono-red decks currently in standard are burn/aggro so I thought I'd make something different. So for fun I made a mono-red janky dragon deck. But I am still inexperienced in deck building and I feel like the deck is a bit too weak currently(even for a jank deck). I'd appreciate any sugggestions on how to improve it.

Rather than give you a blow by blow comparison, which would take forever, I'm going to link you to my Standard take on Dragons, which did OK at FNM.

Hey for starters i think runaway steamkin is not for this deck it is for spell slinging/burn/aggro.

Volcanic Dragon is very under powered. if you compare it to other fliers in the metta at the moment it is expensive. It trades with Rekinling pheniox (that comes back) it trades with Seraph of the scales (which gains advantage through afterlife) and it trades with bolas (that gains advantage through his ETB) I know that is not an extensive list but paying 6 for something that is worse than multiple 4 drops...

Lathliss is a great card but running three is quite steep id drop it to 2 as you don't really want two of them in your hand and with your dragons hord draw and sarkans loot ability you will be able to find her.

Fiery Cannonade could be a brilliant addition helping deal with aggro and it does not really hurt you much.

keep an eye out on war of the spark spoilers to see for new replacements

also if you are taking this to FNM you should build a sideboard. Good side boarding really determines who wins out of the three games.
