Dragons Don't Need This

The cuts:

Mirror of the Forebears
Crucible of Fire
Orator of Ojutai
Taigam, Ojutai Master
Curse of Opulence, Verbosity, Bounty
Dreamstone Hedron
Nihil Spellbomb
Fortunate Few

Ryusei is a maybe cut. Board sweepers, especially one sided ones, are hard to pass up, even though under a Wrath of God effect, Ryusei will do nothing. The fact that it can sit back on defense and wipe out many creatures opponent's have is a thing and a 5/5 flyer is nothing to sneeze at. 

But first, a short treatise on Dreamstone Hedron: 

This card is bad, and they should stop putting it in every fucking commander set. 

Dreamstone Hedron was bad in Rise of Eldrazi, released in 2010 in a set that wanted mana ramp, and time has not been kind. 

It has been reprinted NINE TIMES. 9. NINE! What in the actual fuck. I get why you reprint Giant Spider: it's an excellent example of a baseline card that is never going to be great, but it's never going to suck, either. Most of the time you don't want it, but it's rarely going to make you sad.

There is never a time when I have drawn Dreamstone Hedron and thought: This is exactly what helps! Ever. It is always bad and I feel bad when I see it. 

This is what I'm going with:

Temur Ascendancy
Sarkhan's Triumph
Sarkhan Unbroken
Sarkhan, Fireblood
Sensei's Divining Top
Dragon's Horde
Primevals' Glorious Birth
Balefire Dragon

A real mix of card here: search, mana, Planeswalkers, a recovery from wipeout states: there's a lot going on! But these ideas (many from EDHrec) seem good and I'm looking forward to trying this out.
