Soo... I fixed up my Draconic deck (kinda) and made a deck for my brother, Stryder...

Opinions or ideas or shit?

After a quick game between the two decks, mine had every advantage possible with it but thanks to Stryder's enchantments he got 64 2/2 wolf tokens by the 9th turn and was capable on reviving the token making card AND had the ability to gain 32 more life by the next turn...

You have too much time to kill <.<
*was building planets all day*

Play yu-gi-ho.

You'll be made AFTER Mahz....

I DO have some form of priorities ya know...

I don't remember Mahz saying that he wanted a Kobold set.

I remember him politely ignoring you.

Did you ever download cockatrice?

I could pull that up and play you if you wanted.

No... I can't download it on Chrome books... :(

I would've loved to play though...

He asked me about it in IRC when I went to it... Literally as soon as I joined a few days ago the first thing I got was something like "Drakel, Where is my Kobold set you promised?" from mahz lol xD

Even so... I got his background done xD

As far as suggestions go.

Drakel: you're trying to do too many things. You shouldn't have to recycle your creatures into your deck and you don't need to look at your opponent's hand.

Your Izzet artifacts aren't as useful as you think they are. They are slow. Playing a regular land doesn't take up what potentially could be a turn's worth of mana. And both card draw effects don't actually net you any card advantage.

And I think "pay [R] for +1/+0" is pretty weak for any deck that isn't at least mostly red.

Stryder: there are better cards that Explore. Rampant Growth is better because you don't need to have a forest in your hand. Explore mearly replaces the extra forest you get to play with it's draw effect. With Rampant Growth, you end up with the same amount of cards in your hand, but with the guarantee of it working + thinning out your deck. Cultivate is even better.

Master of the Wild Hunt and Primeval Titan are both kinda staples for your type of deck. I know that they are mythic rares...

Also you have way too many life gain cards. Combined with Fog... you're just delaying the inevitable while not actually affecting the board.

Okay... I see your point lol...

How about now?

EDIT: Just finished fixing Stryder's deck.. It's sad but I honestly completely forgot about Rampant Growth lol.

Looks... better. You still don't really have any immediately useful lower cost cards. I don't know many dragon cards, so I can't give many suggestions.

Also there's a reason you've never seen anyone use Train of Thought before. For 2, it essentially does nothing (besides possibly triggering Niv-Mizzet). For 4, it becomes useful. But there are cards that cost 3 that allow you to draw two cards as well.. And for 6 there are other cards that allow you do draw 4, instead of the 3 you would get from Train of Thought. It's true power comes from it's flexibility and it's ability to use a shit ton on mana late came for a shit ton of cards. But that whole late game bunch-of-cards thing isn't likely to happen.

EDIT: I'm not suggesting you take it out. It's not useless, and it's pretty unique.

There aren't really many Dragon cards... Most dragon decks have to be G/R due to the high costs on mana they require and honestly I'm trying to back out and away from that cliche and try a R/U Dragon deck... which does work well though in a cost. I might just add some greens in it for a plainswalker but I'm still iffy on it ( I'll admit though, Sarkhan really makes it VERY tempting though... Overall though the main 4 Game starter Dragon cards (That I can legally use... I'd LOVE to use THIS GUY) are all seen in my deck. Which was partly the reason I needed the key runes, which would last only as long as I needed for my other cards to successfully start taking action.
