Hi Northy, can you please make a commander/EDH with a fast-themed deck with Dragonlord Kolaghan as the commander?

Echoes of the Kin Tree is a multi-bolster tool, and Citadel Siege is a constant source of counters hands-free once it's down.

Great standard Abzan deck. Abzan can do a lot of things. In fact, I just created and Abzan Enchantment Graveyard deck. It is about as insane as it sounds.

That double Enduring Scalelord combo is disgusting :). Map the Wastes instead of the Explosive Vegetation might be worth considering. It's cheaper and gives you a bolster, though it only gets you the one land.

First off I like the deck inspiring me to take the plunge and add a 3rd color. I like the idea of the Double Enduring Scale lord combo, i run a similar style deck but I find its just too slow to be effective and Ive only rarely pulled it off.

If you are not playing standard, cards like Avacyn's Pilgrim and such are great for early mana-ramp to get the Scalelords more quickly.

research and experience are always key in deck building you can search on vault, gatherer or just google it. google works great for finding multi colored lands because they are hard to search for

I've been playing for a couple of years now and MTG has been close to my heart since the beginning. I really enjoyed studying sets to discover the weirdest and funniest of cards. The Random Card -button in Gatherer-website has taken hours from my life.
Also, when I'm completely out of ideas, I open Gatherer and start searching for fitting cards. I don't need to use it usually, but sometimes when people suggest the most weirdest of deck ideas, I have to rely on it.

I've literally built decks around cards I came across using Gatherer's Random Card search. :)
