Stop! It's dragon time!

by Dodge_Pooter on 09 November 2011

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (7 cards)

Creatures (1)


Sorceries (1)


Planeswalkers (1)

Artifacts (1)


Enchantments (3)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Alright, so the idea is to hold off with the mass amount of e-spawns until the broodmother is out.

And if you happen to have a doubling season out too, it gets fun.....you'll be getting two 1/1 flying dragons with essentially devour 4.......not to mention how many eldrazi spawn you'll have out there. It starts getting ridiculous when you have multiple doubling seasons out.

I tossed in canopy cover and asceticism in the sideboard, not for an actual sideboard, but because I'm debating tossing one of them in the deck....

Any comments will be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Some things have changed over time. New additions are/were Geosurge, Adaptive Automation, Seething song, overrun....

Thanks for all the help everyone!

EDIT 2: Dropped one doubling season for one more Parallel lives.

Deck discussion for Stop! It's dragon time!

This is a nice start. I love dragon decks. A black and red dragon deck would be tits. Using heartless summoning to pull out massive dragons on turn 4. Also youd have black removal and red burn spells to clear the way for destruction....

Sorry. I know I'm off topic, but dragon decks don't get enough credit.

Have you thought about adding in some geosurges?

Check out my new human swarm deck and let me know what you think, please. Its a work in progress.

Thanks for the comments. I agree, geosurges would help, and I forgot about them. I reduced some of the other spawners to make room for some. I'll check out your deck soon.

I would almost have to say that there are to many eldrazi spawn cards not sure what you would replace them with though. I guess that you might need that much mana.

Thanks for the comment! I've dropped Rapacious one, and added crucible of fire and adaptive automation. What do you think?

Sorry for the late reply.

I like it dude.

Let me do some quick math......if I have awakening zone + doubling season + broodmother , that means I can have two 5/5 dragons per turn OR one 13/13 dragon per turn? Is that right? Cause if it is right, that is awesome!

Thanks man.

Yup, that math is right.....not to mention when you get more doubling seasons / parallel lives and maybe a coat of arms......it gets crazy!

Oh looks like you changed it up again. Like the updates.

Hahaha, that kind of math makes my head hurt when you talk about more doubling seasons and parallel lives. I'd quit before you could attack me from the math alone. LOL

Played it again last night, and opening hand was 2 forests, one mountain, one nest invader, one awakening zone, one broodmother, and one seething song......Yeah, worked out quite well for me. :p

It was awesome Turn 3 broodmother, Turn 4 awakening zone, Turn 5 one 7/7 dragon one 5/5 dragon......

You might have to change the deck name now, since it seems like the eldrazi spawn could finish off your opponent. But it is a great deck name....

Yeah, Overrun would be a great idea with that many tokens. I think I'll drop a geosurge or two to get them in. Thanks for the comment!

+1 just for the name of the deck first lol:P as for the build itself it looks good. personaly take surge out. u can use seething song way better than surge. other than that looks like fun good luck

Yeah, the name is probably better than the deck actually is, but, every deck needs a good name. LOL! I agree about using seething song, and tossed it in. Thanks for the advice!

I love dragon decks, pretty much every deck I own has dragons in it. I love how you use the broodmother to pump out little baby dragons and using the spawns to pump them up (at least that's what I would do). If I were you, I might consider taking out the Broodwarden and replace it with something that produces more spawns or maybe another crucible or automaton simply because if I were running this deck I would be completely focused on the dragons.
It also wouldn't hurt to throw in an Asceticism or two. I've found that card to help me out in any green deck.
Good deck though

I didn't even look at your sideboard until just now, I would have never known you had asceticism over there. LOL

Thanks for the comment! I was originally going to make this deck all about the dragons, and for the most part it is. But I found that the broodmother keeps those little e-spawn bastards a threat until the broodmother comes out. Plus playing it against my friends pisses them off when overrun comes out and KAPOW, they just got killed by the e-spawn tokens. Hahaha.

Sorry, I meant the "broodwarden" keeps those little e-spawn bastards a threat........not the broodmother..... Too many "brood" guys in there gets me all confused. LOL

I'd think about swapping out at least one more doubling season for Parallel lives, if not two.

Parallel lives is 90% as effective other than the devour, and you can get them out way faster for more effect

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, that's a good point. I think I'll just put three doubling seasons and parallel lives in there......

i like overwhelming stampede more than over run for ur deck. its just stupid. cuz u have one dragon thats a 6/6...now u have a poop ton of like 13/13s. its over kill. i love dragons for sure. check out my rg wolfies if ya dont mind

0

I was thinking overwhelming stampede would be good for when the big dragons tokens come out, but I stuck with Overrun in case all I have out is a crap load of eldrazi spawn with no real power.

Thanks for the comment!

I like the idea of adding Sarkhan Vol in, but I honestly wouldn't know what to take out.....I might just toss him into the "sideboard" for now until I decide what to do with him and those other cards.

Thanks for the comment!

I know you don't have any goblin token cards but I got a dragon deck with a bunch or dragon tokens no doubling seasons Luke u though making me think about it more but maybe you should think about adding varacious dragon its a sure one punch knock out unless they got wrath of god or pyroclasm :(

I was thinking originally goblin/dragon deck because of the voracious dragon, but I liked the e-spawns.....It seemed like I can get tons of em out consistantly. But yes, a goblin token dragon deck is very, very tempting....

Thanks!

Asceticism is crazy. In any deck. My friend put one in his red green werewolf deck, the deck was pretty damn good before but now its just about unstoppable.

Yeah I keep playing this deck with subtle variations (you know, trying to get it consistantly better), and asceticism is pretty damn good. That's why my sideboard is only 4 cards, because those are the ones I tinker with.... Thanks for the comment!

this is an awesome deck. Fantastic idea using the spawn for devour.
If it were me I would do the following.
-2 kozileks predator. -1 mountain. +1 Emrakul's Hatcher. +1 brood birthing. +1 growth spasm.
just personal preference. You've played it too.

Nice one.

Thanks for the comment! Yeah, when I play test it, I try modifying the numbers of what I've gotten in there and swapping out some cards with my "sideboard" cards.....So far, this one has worked consistantly for me, but you're right. There are improvements that can be made to it. Just gotta test it some more.

if you wanted to storm dragons then i would run a few pyretic surge, it will get your mana going early, and if you can combo that with two seething songs and use a dragon storm then you get 4 dragons onto the battlefield, with those cards you could be talking 4-5 6/6 dragons turn 2

i would also add warstorm surge, if you decided not to go with ^ that suggestion. It would be nice for when you are throwing out several powerful dragons a t urn.

Thanks for the comments! I tried running pyretic rituals with seething song a couple times, but I could barely ever get them together. I prefer seething song over pyretic ritual, and I think over geosurge. At least for this deck. With that being said, Warstorm Surge is a brilliant addition. I've got to figure what I'm taking out, but it'll work well with boosted eldrazi spawn too. I'm going to toss it into the fake sideboard I have now and figure out what to do with it. Thanks for that!

I love this idea for a deck, all i would suggest is Overwhelming Stampede instead of Overrun, its easier to play in multicolored decks, it's the same mana cost, and since you are running large (boosted) creatures anyway it'll be a bigger threat.

Thanks for the comment. I keep flip flopping between Overrun and Overwhelming Stampede. I've chosen to stick with Overrun in case I don't have any boosted creatures and just have a crap load of eldrazi spawn. But, I do keep switching between them. Cause as soon as I get out a boosted dragon, overwhelming stampede is a lot better.

i think 106 cards would be a very long waiting for broodmother if your idea was to hold off until broodmother come out

I've been playing this out online and it is so badass. I would -2 Emra, -2 Crucible, -2 Automaton. Then +4 Birds of paradise, +2 Brood Birthing. In my experience, this speeds up the mechanic. Lets be honest, 36/36 dragon tokens don't need another +3 :P Killer deck though.

Thanks for the comment! I have been playing it more and more, and I'm not liking emrakuls hatcher as much as I first thought. By the time he's out, it's not worth it to have those extra spawns. Birds of paradise make sense to push out the mana quicker though. As for crucible of fire.....I just kept it in, because if, for some reason, I don't have an awakening zone, parallel lives, or doubling season out. I'd still want my dragons to be scary. Hahahaha.

Thanks again!

This deck is amazing! Sorry but, do you think that your token engine is quite useful for an Eldrazi deck? I have a lot of problems making one :S

Hi! Thanks for the comment. I've used it a few times with eldrazi decks, but I found out it really only helped getting out Hand Of Emrakuls out. However, I do have a few decks with the e-spawns being used with urza's lands, and cheat cards like elvish piper and quicksilver amulet.

Here it is if you wanted to check it out:
