Title: Dragon Beatdown
Post by: Karrthus on January 18, 2012, 02:13:54 AM
{Hoard-Smelter Dragon} + {Darksteel Forge}. Use the Dragons ability on the forge. If they have no flyers and you can activate it more than once then they are in for a beating.î,,...

I just realize you could go standard with this. -{Darksteel Forge}, +{Blightsteel Collosus}. Then you have 2 really big problems for them to deal with.

Well, if you get the Colossus out then you should just be winning already - no need to pull off shenanigans with the Dragon.

In short: Magical Christmas Land.

Not if they hit the Colossus with a certain blue aura preview card. Hehehe

.                                                           {BlightSteel Collosus} is easily dealt with. Just because he's out doesn't mean you've won. All it takes is one {Oblivion Ring}, so it's nice to have a back up plan. Hints the {Hoard-Smelter Dragon}

Okay, but by the time the Dragon is out then you can't respond to the removal if at sorcery speed.

This is more synergy than combo.

I disagree. The point of the combo is to have a high mana cost, indestructible artifact to use as fuel for the dragon. As you can see by my first post.
