Deck discussion for Dirty Dragons

fair enough...

But Im not convinced this deck will work too well, where are the protection spells? Why do you only have 18 land... And why is there single copies of most of your cards?

First off double some cards up...
Second... chuck in some more land (I know you have birds of paradise... but u need more)
Third... throw in some spells that let you take advantage of all 5 colours... Terror, arrest, unsummon, lightning bolt, lignify
Fourth... Lay all your cards out and have a few test matches against some mates... See where the weak areas are...

Fifth... Make a final rebuild and you done.

Plz comment on my Token Swarm! deck, thx :)

As for all the single copies, I collect legends and more over dragons in general, I built this deck just to use my dragons, not all of course but the ones i enjoy. If i had a play set for all of them then Id have a HUGE deck; if I just used a specific one or two then I'd have a theme deck which was not the goal.

18 lands seems small but add the 3 birds, 4 llanowar, 1tree, 1 fyndhorn that makes 27, not to mention the 3 pipers and 4 arches. If I'm landlock then a Vow can be used. With upwelling out then I dont need to much land.

The deck is built for quick power, its either going to work or its not, even up against my elf deck that is submitted it holds its own. Its built to overrun quick. Not built for a long complex game but with the combos it has in it and the outright power it will still stand strong. The vows are in there for protection/mana, mainly protection and has saved my life more times that i can remember. I'll rebuild when I get more dragons. thanks for the input.

I, personally, like to have a lot of diversity in my deck (although you've taken that to the extreme-not a bad thing...); it allows the deck to be played in different ways which can sometimes suck for an opponent that is devising a play strategy against you.

Anyway, Hi5er is right-you need something to protect your dudes, but I'm not sure about Terror and Unsummon and all that-this isn't a control deck. Those dragons have abilities that become available after they do damage, so add in cards that synergise with those effects like: Quicksilver Dagger

interesting wikolo....

Im not too much of a veteran player so I tend to just see a removal card and go aha! It will help me lol. Not consider whether the deck im using matches it sorta thing.

Aso Kamal I see where your going with this deck now and I can see that, so long as these are your fav cards this deck will give you a lot of comfort when playing it.

U said its built to overrun, just like maybe consider the speed it gets going? Like how many creatures do you have by turn 4 - 5? Is it enough to stay dominant throughout?

And elves are a real pain in the ass lol... And well if this deck can stand strong against a deck of swarming elves then it must be at least half decent.

Keep at it.

Also thanks for the rating on my deck. :)

This cycle of Dragons is great! How have I missed it in my hours of wandering through gatherer?
I'm not sure about WUBRG. You could do awesome things if you concentrated this into three colors, with some extra mana to let some of the other dragons in.
But if you go all out WUBRG, get more land and utilize multicolor mechanics like domain. It frees up some of your creature spots from Llanowars and such.
