I've been really liking this set up and for some reason this deck works better than I would have imagined. It hits hard early as it plays more agro but then can switch gears into midrange deck, finding solutions and bouncing back when least expected.
The Creatures:
Viashino Branchrider is our only 1 drop and it’s a good one, Haste and versatile in late game play with its kicker cost, but even without that it can get some decent hits in with its pump up ability.
Shivan Devastator is a card that really work on any turn, cast it for whatever you can spare in this deck as it can be brought back later if things work out right, but until then swing away and get those early hits in when you can.
Riveteers Requisitioner is a 2 drop but I always use it for its blitz cost as not only does it have haste that way, but it gives a treasure token and card draw on top the damage it can already do as a 3/1.
Rivaz of the Claw is a Mana booster and resurrects for our dragons, plus he can get the hits in with menace once in a while and that’s not bad at all.
Atsushi, the Blazing Sky is a dragon that you a happy to let die as its give you a mana or card boost depending on your choice as it goes to the graveyard, and is a favorite to be brought back via are Viashino friend above.
Ognis, the Dragon's Lash plays off our haste in the deck and with 17 option including herself, the mana will start to flow if he keeps the pressure on, and all the extra mana really helps get your big spells into the battlefield, or just drop it all into the Devastator and hit your opponent hard.
Thundering Raiju hits hard and hits fast, just something your opponents has to deal with and if not, you’ll run away with the game.
Ziatora, the Incinerator is the big one of the set, getting him out can really cause a panic in your opponents, as he will have to be removed, use him to burn your foe after you attacked with your creatures, getting more treasure tokens and if you sacrifice a dragon, bring them back using Rivaz to really rub salt in the wound.
The Spells:
Play with Fire as cheap burn is never a bad thing, and this has the added advantage of Scrying for 1 if you hit your opponent directly, which can really help sort that mana.
Go for the Throat is needed removal, you could also go with Infernal Grasp if your rather lose the life, but this is your “in case of emergency break” card
Bloody Betrayal add to the fun with Ziatora as it lets you steal a powerful creature to attack its master with, then sacrifice it for extra burn, this can easily be a game winner for you.
The Other Stuff:
The Celestus is a mana fix that lets you get some draw and life, which is needed here, and discarding dragons is not always a bad thing with Rivaz around.
The Elder Dragon War is a little of everything here, a small board wipe, or a hand fixer, and usually no matter what nets you a Dragon when it resolves
The Game Plan:
Use Viashino Branchrider and Shivan Devastator to put pressure on in the early game (also late game increasing their values) and blitz in the Riveteers Requisitioner to get ahead on the curve. Depending if you have Rivaz of the Claw or Ognis, the Dragon's Lash shifts your play a little, as Ognis requires you to stay aggressive while Rivaz might benefit more from holding back a little, ether way they should give you the mana to get the big guns out into play. Ziatora, the Incinerator is a good finisher if not dealt with, especially combos with Bloody Betrayal or Atsushi, the Blazing Sky for even more acceleration. Fling a highly pump Shivan Devastator after attacking with Ziatora, the Incinerator can do a lot of damage.
