Welcome to a real Dragon deck!

Strong flying beasts ready to bring hailfire upon your enemy! This description will bring you a small introduction the deck.

The goal is to survive the early game and keep playing mighty Dragons in mid game. So to keep the enemy from ramping up or aggro in on us, with pesky little worms, we have Shockimage and Severed Strandsimage at our disposal. The reason I use Severed Strandsimage is because it combos very nicely with Dragon Eggimage. You get a flying 2/2 Dragon token by sacrifcing the Dragon Eggimage for Severed Strandsimage extra cost and to top it of we can destroy an opponents creature. If it so happens and we dont have a Dragon Eggimage to sacrifice for Severed Strandsimage, we then can sacrifice a creature like Demanding Dragonimage and bring it back with Memorial to Follyimage. This Demanding Dragonimages aility can be used again. There is also Field of Ruinimage that helps us out if the opponent has a nasty land that needs to be removed but it can also be used to let us search for a basic land in case we need a Swampimage for Darigaaz Reincarnatedimage by destryoing an opponents non-basic land.

Using these tools we can survive and ramp with Sarkhan, Firebloodimage and Dragon's Hoardimage. Sarkhan, Firebloodimage also helps us cycle through our deck to get strong Dragons and Dragon's Hoardimage will enable us to keep drawing cards so we ensure an unlimited creature supply. Verix Bladewingimage and Lathliss, Dragon Queenimage help a lot to ramp up counters for the Dragon's Hoardimage by creating powerful token.

Another creature that helps us surpressing the opponent in the early to midgame is Demanding Dragonimage. The opponent has to make a harsh decision by either sacrificing 5 life points or a creature, either way its a win-win situtation for us.

The big hitter in our deck is not only Lathliss, Dragon Queenimage but also Darigaaz Reincarnatedimage. He is hard to remove permanently while also having trample and haste by getting buffed up from Lathliss, Dragon Queenimage ensures that we allmost always have the stronger creature on board to finish off our opponent. Speaking about finishing off the opponent. Volcanic Dragonimage wants to chime in! He isnt the strongest of the pack but he certainly is one of the fastest! Because he has haste. You know? Fast, Haste? Yeah I probably better just dont. 

As much power as the deck has it comes with a few weaknesses. Like most midrange decks its hard to play against control because we are relatively slow and the control players have time to set up their defenses and mana base. On the other hand most aggro decks are definitely beatable especially if you swap out cards between games. Adding in Golden Demiseimage or Fiery Cannonadeimage for Severed Strandsimage can easily deal with the small creatures while leaving our strong Dragons in tact. To have something ready for control we can use cards like Duressimage or Banefireimage. The last three sideboard cards are open for your taste but I usually want more removals, something that exile creatures so its either Lava Coilimage or Vraska's Contemptimage.

While the deck is probably not the strongest deck ever created, it is a lot of fun! I hope you enjoy the power of the mightiest creatures Magic has to offer as much as I do and give this deck a shot. Sadly dragon decks are never cheap and in Arena thats not different to paper Magic. So save up your wildcards, summon your Wishcoin Crabimage and bring destruction to your opponent!
