I just realized with this printing of Sarkhan, he has represented all but one color...

Seems like {Garruk's Companion} got a super-buff

Forget yoked ox, think about {nyx-fleece ram} cards already good

{Warbringer} dash costs {2} less? I can see a janky deck with the dragon that's gives things +2/+0 whenever something enters that just continually dashes. Would be super fun.

Okay guys, inspired by a rules question.

{Dragon Tempest} + {Descent of Dragons} + {Battlefield Thurmaturge} = damage equal to the number of creatures you control squared. For {R}{R}. Like damn! I can't decide if I want to go Temur with this and add Sarkhan as an alt Wincon or just go Izzet/Jeskai and play tokens. Temur sounds more fun.

Had too look that one up, but you are totally right. X dragons enter the field dealing X damage, where X is the number of creatures you sacced. For {R}{R}! I feel like Wizards has had set loose some major power in this block. First the double dragon infinite, now this...
Has it ever been so huge?

On top of that, you still have 4/4 flying dragons to beat down with after the damage explosion. Like wow if that goes off it'll be dangerous. The downside is that there's no realistic way to take advantage of the damage output quickly. I mean,

T1 Island/mountain and your pick of one drop creature.

T2 whichever land you didn't play last turn. {Battlefield Thurmaturge}/{Dragon Tempest}

T3 mountain, whichever one you didn't play last turn. Another one drop creature.

T4 any land {Dragon Fodder}, {Descent of Dragons}.

Damage output of 25 with 5 4/4 dragons. But that's a /perfect/ and /uninterrupted/ hand. I see it being a turn 6 deck. The problem is all the spells you need to cast are two drops and all the token generators are {Dragon Fodder} and {Hordeling Outburst}. I really think {Ornithopter} will shine in this deck. I'm going to make a post in Combo Corner so we can discuss there and not clog up this thread.

That's ridiculous...     



And also, the new 2 drop enchant that allows butt-scooting and walls to attack. {yoked ox} foils are gonna skyrocket.  I'm buying  10

Why the hell would you run {Yoked Ox} when there's {Lagonna-Band Trailblazer}? C'mon now.
