As an owner of a dragons tribal deck and a randomness themed deck, this set is by far the best one for me out of the sets released in the last few years. Those dragons will be added to my dragons pile for Ur-Dragon: The whole cycle of Ancient Metallic Dragons Crystal Dragon , Sapphire Dragon and Eme...

I am super stoked about Wild Magic Surge for my random deck. Random removal tends to always suck or cost way too much mana (looking at you, Haphazard Bombardment). This is even quite good in mono-red decks, and probably rakdos decks.

I think BAoT is really good, and I hope that retail price doesn't sustain, because I think it's a great white design with real EDH scaling at a bargain mana cost. I feel like both those cards are a leap in the right direction, and am happy to eat my pessimistic words from a couple of months ago. My...

Fracturing Gust is an incredibly impactful card against some decks - if you're playing against an enchantress or artifact deck, it represents a board wipe and a bunch of life gain at instant speed. However, despite its power, I don't think I have ever seen it cast... and the reason for that is its ...

Earthquake Dragon...Well...it's big I guess? I cannot wait to see the look my opponents faces when I discard it to Spellbound Dragon 's trigger. That card is everything my high CMC deck wants. Massive body. Cost reduction and recursion! Nom nom. I got Shadow of Mortality last set too? Now I have 4,...

Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm looks insane. I am sad that it has nothing to do with rolling dice, but on the other hand that's such a huge boost to dragon tribal that I can't be mad about it. :o And now I have one card that I want to pre-order And none of the other dragons to get along with it? :P

Another card I play in my random deck (and in my dragons pile for The Ur-Dragon ). It's an okayish effect stapled to a good body. As PrimevalCommander said, he shines best in decks that tend to go all-in on one permanent type. The fact that he can trigger on tokens is not negligible as well. Also, a...

Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm looks insane. I am sad that it has nothing to do with rolling dice, but on the other hand that's such a huge boost to dragon tribal that I can't be mad about it.

I'm kind of looking forward to rebuilding Izzet dice again with Wyll, Blade of Frontiers and whatever blue background strikes my fancy. Or, maybe a new colour combo, depending on what dice cards appear (though, blue/red has the deepest pool of dice cards by a huge margin). I'm crossing my fingers f...

Another random card! It's surprisingly more effective than it looked at first glance. It gives me strong Coalition Relic vibes. It is less flexible since Coalition Relic can tap for just one mana each turn, instead of forcing you to recharge. However, the pouch can potentially give you two mana twic...

I play it in my random deck. I haven't whiffed with it so far, but it's definitely a possibility. Still, hitting two triomes or two rainbow lands with it feels so nice. I don't think I would play it over other options though (outside of theme restrictions). Skyshroud Claim could aso fetch for those ...

Anyways man it has gotten a LOT harder to choose 100 cards for my Ur-Dragon and we're still not even done yet...

Just do it like I do: 75 cards that act as the "shell" and then 25 random dragons No more cuts, no more headaches (well at least for the dragon selection).

He has lost a bit of his shine with time but he's still a fine card. Works obviously well with GY synergies such as Patriarch's Bidding or Eerie Ultimatum. He's also the only dragon wizard besides Niv-Mizzet. I wish the old frame foil wasn't so expensive though.

I've been playing him since his release in my random deck, I've never been disappointed to see him unless I'm already on the verge of dying. That "If you win five flips this way." is unlikely. That's 1/32, and even with Krark's Thumb , it's 243/1024, so, 3.1% and 23.7%, respectively. So, y...

How on earth is he mythic?

It's the front face commander for the gruul precon.

For Korlessa, Scale Singer I actually am sorta intrigued. At last count when I was research for Volo there was something like 31 dragons in Simic and that was pre-Neon Dynasty which added Kairi, the Swirling Sky and Kura, the Boundless Sky and also doesn't count changelings (since Volo can't run ch...

Korlessa rules <3 you get to play all the worst dragons, then trainwreck them all into play off the top... Mist Dragon ... Tek ... Belltoll Dragon ... all the hits <3 and you don't get any kind of cost-reducing ability to make them good apart from being in UG. very funny commander She really seems ...

I do hope there isn't a hullbreacher situation, though. I would pray to (a, The, whichever) God that your hopes are made real, but given my clerical rank and the current size of my miter, I'll instead pray to the God of IGMCULSL that I can instead snag a copy of HB 2.0 or whatever nonsense before t...

Gale, Waterdeep Prodigy looks very abusable. Cast a cantrip, get a free Enter the Infinite? Seems good. Or just do storm stuff.

You still have to pay the mana cost of the other card, it's closer to a conditional Snapcaster Mage.

Grand Warlord Radha is a card I have somewhat mixed feelings about. As commanders go, it feels... a bit bland? 'Go wide and attack with a bunch of creatures' is a fine direction, but not something that gives much direction, and the payoff - mana - is also pretty generic and doesn't directly contrib...

I'm not questioning whether you can deal damage the turn he etbs - it takes a little setup and might not be consistent but it's obviously doable - but how much sense does it make to delay casting your commander until…what, 8 mana? So you can cast a single 3-drop and cascade into a 2-drop? Not reall...

I remember a game involving it with my Breya, Etherium Shaper deck. I played Mana Crypt on Turn 2 and enchanted it with a Mechanized Production. That was my most stressful and memorable win with that deck.

Abaddon costs 5 though. You're going to hold out to cast him plus a worthwhile cascade with enough on-board damage? There is stuff like Impact Tremors or Purphoros, God of the Forge that can enable it as soon as it ETBs. And even if you have to wait for a turn, it's also the case for Yidris unless ...

So you're hoping your opponents play a board wipe AND there's a bunch of creatures in play AND you have RRBB+ available AND your hand isn't that great? If they wipe the board, it's probably because it's filled of creatures anyway. Keeping three mana open should not be too difficult for a reactive d...

I'm more excited about the Warhammer release than I initially anticipated. Chaos, Necrons AND Tyranids? Those are my three favourite factions! (Granted, I only played the Dawn of War series and not the miniatures game). I'm pretty sure blood for the blood god is bad. That many dead creatures is a to...
