    Good call on Steel Hellkite. This card is undervalued as it can just eradicate all of a players tokens if it gets a hit in.
    I prefer Moltensteel Dragon as my Shivan alternative as I can dump my mana and/or life in to close out a game. Swinging with just this and the aforementioned Hellkite can ruin the day of someone with loads of treasure and/or squirrel tokens, though Silumgar also helps with the latter.

    I took Karrthus out of my deck when I realized how many popular commander decks have cards to steal your creatures. If you have Karrthus on the field, with a bunch of other dragons, your opponent only have to steal Karrthus to steal ALL your dragons. Including Ur Dragon it you have him on the field as well.
    Worse still. I once played against a friend who was able to look for a creature card in my deck and play it without mana cost. So I didn't even have Karrthus on the field but he was still able to steal all my dragons.
    In my opinion that card is far to large of a liability for the effect it gives. If he had a third effect like giving all your dragons vigilance or something. I would perhaps reconsider. But as is, its way to risky to play him in a dragon tribal.
    2 more additions I would reccommend is first of all Miirym. Because he's insanely cheap to cast with your eminence discount and he makes a copy of ANY non token dragon when it etb's. Including the Ur Dragon. So you effectively get 2 Ur Dragons meaning your commander is somewhat semi-protected from removal. I mean the token is not your commander so commander damage doesn't count, but it still has all the same abilities.
    And I also really like Rith, Liberated Primeval. Again, very cheap to cast with the commander discount, has ward 2. But more importantly, gives all your dragons ward 2 as well. Which make them just a little bit harder to get rid of individually. Especially early game.

      Karrthus control ability is an etb, it won't work if your opponent gains control of it if its already on the battlefield.

    Wonderfulllllll! I will upload an updated profile of my deck as well! I can't wait for Commander Legends 2! Deck is going to change in theme big time when that comes out. The converted mana cost keeps going up with all these new beefy boys. With the new mono black brass dragon I think ill shift off tokens for good. There ll be so many 7 drops I think ill justt focus more on recursion and spamming for reduced cost.....more treasure focus too for sure haha

      I definitely want to check out the video from the Ur-dragon bling master. Question, do you prefer having more different dragons or having more tutors and just the set of super powerful ones?

    • @Lv5SuperTuba
      @Lv5SuperTuba 2 года назад

      @@vex_mtg I think the center of my deck is becoming more centered around Morophon and Moonveil Regent. Cost reduction card draw for the ability to play a ton of dragons on one turn. So Im trying to switch to having more "two color and up" dragons. I gate cutting mono red dragons but especially with Niv mizzet Reborn it's fighting what I want to do.

    • @Lv5SuperTuba

      @@vex_mtg as for tutors...I've definitely leaned away from them. mostly because I try to keep all my decks unique (apart from sol ring, mana crypt, and demonic tutor) So my vampiric/enlightened tutor etc are in other decks. But I feel like it makes decks too similar. If there were more in-theme tutors like Scion and Tiamat, I'd be all for it. Tiamat is a good tool box for different match-ups, but being 7 right out of the gate with a cast trigger gets countered too much for me as a commander. That's why I like Moonveil Regent so much, if I can run smaller dragons that move the deck along I'll gladly take out a tutor. I think Vampiric actually came out for him.

    • @vex_mtg
      @vex_mtg  Год назад

      I think Miirym is the strongest, but Tiamat is better than the Ur-Dragon because it tutors 5 times. I prefer playing the Ur-Dragon because there's more variety in games, with Tiamat you are usually tutoring for the best dragons you have.

    Take kamagachi out of the deck. I loved that infinite combo at the end. And I feel like you should always search for scion of the ur dragon. My personal favorite way to use it is copy a dragon that has a "when another dragon attacks" phrase and then right before you deal combat damage copy the dragon that gives double strike.

    I would make one friendly suggestion: slow down when speaking, and annunciate more clearly. No need for the video to feel rushed, like you are just trying to get it over with, and you probably want people to be able to clearly understand you without having to skip back and listen again with CC on to try to understand. You seem to have a lot of good info and other things going for you, but making it hard for your audience to understand you, and feeling like you are a kid rushing through a presentation because you hate speaking in front of the class, is working against you. Anyway, I hope the advice helps, and you continue to improve your skills. Good luck! Hope you don't mind constructive criticism, lol; I really am just hoping to help you be better understood by others (including me lol).
