Just discovered the channel and this comment. This deck is very similar to my main deck, which is the only reason I know there was a more stylish way to do this, hence the "kind of lame" : Step 1 slap the gnawbone down. Step 2 attack to generate 12 treasure. Step 3 Use 3 treasures (they give 2 mana thanks to goldspan) to cast inferno. Step 4 use 4 treasures to pump inferno to 20 and kill the opponent.
My main deck and where I spent all my wildcards is a pretty similar deck. Because of heavy usage of sorcery/instant, I discovered that rocking a copy of Velomachus was a big boon as well. Hitting free seize the spoils or draconic interventions can be huge, and since you most likely will get your velomachus from tiamat being played, you can choose to only play him when both cards would benefit you.
Dungeons&Dragons with Tiamat is a classic saga, just wish Tiamat had some more abilites like trample. Love the deck gameplay and commentary from you LvD , the best creator out there.
I don't know if I missed something, but around 19:00 when Tiamat was cast, the auto-pay sacrificed the treasure. With Galazeth Prismari on board shouldn't it be tapped instead for mana?
I tried making a Dragon-based deck myself. It didn't end well. :P Then I crafted this deck - it's fun and actually plays well (I thought it would be super-janky). Pure genius LVD, thanks a lot!
@@PunjabiProductions22 I always won every match. Just like everyone else on YT. :P I actually stopped playing a long time ago, MTGA is just a cashgrab and I didn't want to be a part of that anymore.
@@PunjabiProductions22 If you're just looking for a good deck, there are probably better options. From what I can remember, this deck was very fun to play though. :) I only played Arena, and I've never played tournaments or anything (just some ranked).
@@subpar2283 thanks man, yeah I'm just going to buy two decks since this is my first time getting an Magic and then just keep them and never upgrade them it's just to play with friends and cousins
Really wanted to make a dragon deck but wasn't sure how to make it work smoothly. I have damn near all the cards for paper magic already. Seeing how you did it definitely helps. I assumed when I saw the video you would be using Treasure Vault. Guess its not needed lol.
Great video, I'm glad I found this series. I'm new to arena but I do play a lot of tabletop in a modern-esque format. Any advice on how I could adjust this tiamt deck for that format.
32:07 Some dungeon masters have no idea how to make a good campaign. These guys just reached the 2nd room of their 1st dungeon and boom Tiamat. I would've walked away too.
MTG Arena: Yes, we are improving the autotapper to enhance player experience. The Autotapper: Decides to sacrifice Treasure Tokens instead of using them as mana rocks with Galazeth on the field 32:08 Me: Bruh
Played against someone who used your exact brew, even the same sleeves. I proceeded to OTK him with my mono black version of your "Half and Half" deck with the Scourge of the Skyclaves and Warlock Class combo
i can understand why you don't use the Icingdeath, but Ebondeath seems worth trying in this list. when some of the other dragons down, opponent always have to take care of it coming back.
16:40 rarely is a winning play so disappointing 😂 Gnawbone has got to be among the most Win-More cards in the set....but it's such a flavor win to hoard treasure for no reason
i wish tiamat had more effects, like Trample, and grant other dragons haste, maybe for a mana cost like kenrith. but as it is, it feels so weak as a 5 color 7 mana play.
As it stands she's as good as the amount of haste dragons at her disposal. It would have been pretty cool if she had abilities like Kenrith. One for each head, costing the respective color
21:15 Sadly, you wouldn't be able to cast Tiamat if Goldspan resolved, You'd have 3 treasures and one land so that does in fact make 7 mana, but Tiamat requires 1 uber mana which you wouldn't be able to get since Goldspan makes treasures make 2 manas of any one color
@@User-jo7jp I mean, we dont have cards similar to that in magic do we? However, Niv Mizzet reborn isn't far from a 5/5 legendary dragon with rainbow cost that can draw you 5 cards when come into play.
Another excellent video! I can't wait to see a historic vertion of this I really need some using the second ability od Inferno (when que gets 20 power deals 20 damage)
“I guess we can kill our opponent, that’s kind of lame”
I concur dragons gotta rawr some more

Love watching Dimir control failing to "control" the situation and getting stomped by big chonky dragons!
saw this before even starting the video, now im excited!

Feels so good seeing 3-4 counter spells coming out and then still be like "pick 5 dragons"

Magic has too many formats and having you give us all the variety we need is everything for newbies and veterans alike! Thank you Luca!
You are churning out content lately and I love it!!
at 16:57, you could play old gnawbone, swing, and then you'd have enough mana to play Inferno and tick it up to 20 for lethal.
Missed opportunity !
That is the true DnD Deck I have been waiting for! Thanks Luca!!
Wait his name is Luca?
@@NStripleseven Yes. LVD = Luca Van Deun
@@FariasBk I had no clue
Shocking I tell you
An entire meta around dragons, but Witherbloom and Silverquill dragons _still_ can't earn a slot in a deck!
That’s what Tiamat brawl is for
There is never enough dragons in a deck.
@@vumasster I mean the strixhaven dragons don't make the slot in my one at all. They just don't work with the gameplan
Saddest part is that Leyline Tyrant makes the cut in a 5c deck and they don't
Silverquil was good in my nethroi brawl.
Oh boy my favorite, Dimir control
Yes! I've been hoping for a dragon deck by LegenVD!
First deck seems to be CGB's Simic Ramp. Good video as always.

Great thematic deck
I love the iconic creatures tribal decks, they add so much flavor to the game.
Phenomenal deck building bro. Long time fan of your content
Whoooaaa, does anyone know which cardback the opponent was rocking at 17:14? 🙀

galazeths ability can only be used for instants and sorceries.

This looks like a really fun deck to play in a pod of 3 or 4
Goldspan + Old Gnawbone gives so much value
10 mana per attack, pretty nice
Dragon decks are awesome
such a fun deck to watch being played (dragons)
On 18:56 why did the treasure get sacrificed when you cast Tiamat? Shouldn't it simply get tapped with Galazeth? Or am I missing something?
Galazeth only lets artifacts tap for mana to cast instants/sorceries. Can't use it for creatures
@@Sophtym211 Oh, forgot about that part, thanks for clarification.

The blue black control doesn't have win con? I don't really get that playstyle.
The win on is to take forever on each play, counter/kill anything you play, and make you quit after banging your head on the table
@@reidyo5404 I can't speak for anyone else but that doesn't sound fun at all.
U/B control has a very simple win con plan
Step 1) control the board with counters and removal
Step 2)
Step 3) profit!
The main win con of any dimir control deck is "Patience"
It may not seem fun but it is very versatile.
One of the oldest playstyle in Magic.
In my experience Beledros is absolut great with Tiamat. The untap ability on the next turn is very handy
I could see that, although the 7-drops were getting a little crowded 😅
One can never have too many overcosted dragons : D
MTGA, how many answers are you going to let operyion draw 'naturally'?
MTGA: Yes
What a relief
Finally an efficient Dragon's Rage deck.
That is a pretty sad dimir deck.
How can i sort my deck in 2 rows like that? Ive seen that here before and tryed my best to do it on arena two. Didnt see it, would be good to know
Use the filters in the search bar
Does it only work in finished decks?
@@DrFrogman Only works if you move up the deck first!
MTG Arena: Yes, we are improving the autotapper to enhance player experience.
The Autotapper: Decides to sacrifice Treasure Tokens instead of using them as mana rocks with Galazeth on the field 32:08
Me: Bruh
you can only use mana produced that way to cast instants and sorceries
@@adamkassirer2983 oh, that's true. Then it's mb, Im always under the assumption that he transforms them straight into mana rocks lol
Just gotta point out, no way a Gold Dragon would ever work with Tiamat. It's like, their whole thing.
Aye, wanted to comment that massive flavor fail.
i understand why he's not included in this list, but please tell me that you have an ebondeath deck in the works!
Where you met that opponents? When I go to standart, 90% of decks are BR or UR on a Goldspan Dragon
Played against someone who used your exact brew, even the same sleeves.
I proceeded to OTK him with my mono black version of your "Half and Half" deck with the Scourge of the Skyclaves and Warlock Class combo
The last match is like having a D&D game where the players are being cheeky shits, so the GM sics a tarrasque on them
i can understand why you don't use the Icingdeath, but Ebondeath seems worth trying in this list. when some of the other dragons down, opponent always have to take care of it coming back.
BB in casting cost seems too much
@@L3raje orb of dragonkind can help
Ebondeath comes in tapped everytime it's just janky and sucks compared to any other dragon

Sarkhan: * Apoplectic with dragons *
Who needs dungeons when you got dragons 😀
i always preferred the town intrigue and open wilderness myself.
Pretty sure I ran into someone using this deck in the Play queue. They must have been pretty mad losing to my Artisan landfall deck.
Looks like fun
As the whiterun guards say, "what is it, dragons?"
i wish tiamat had more effects, like Trample, and grant other dragons haste, maybe for a mana cost like kenrith.
but as it is, it feels so weak as a 5 color 7 mana play.
It’s basically 5 tutors at once in a deck like this, plus a 7/7, what’s not to like?
As it stands she's as good as the amount of haste dragons at her disposal.
It would have been pretty cool if she had abilities like Kenrith. One for each head, costing the respective color
We need a new alchemy version of this deck from you 😁👌
Kibler would be proud
Yes please daddy

This is incorrect, Orb of dragonkind fixes that issue.
Why not play Fable Passage?

isn't windfall just better than seize the spoils?
Not when you need to cast your sweeper on turn four. Seize also lets us play Goldspan a turn sooner. It’s mostly a curve consideration.
Didn't thought that timat ist playable in Standard, but i also get one for my Ur Dragon Commander. Tiamat ist God strong
Goldspan walked so Adult Gold could run! xD
First oponent was using basic lands tribal deck, right? xD
Cool deck, but too much removal to really make it high-tier. Love the dragons they added with this set!
We can call the last match Dungeon vs Dragons.
Can this deck rank?
Dropped my enchilada on the floor
Darn
I'm sorry to hear that, are you okay?
must have rolled a 1
that tiamat animation is very dissapointing which is weird since the blue dragon got a good one
it got a damn shadow. even i could code that animation and im a 4 year old from the bavarian forests circa 1637.
Ermahgerd!!! Dergunhs!!!!
Imo, if Tiamat were a 5 mana 5/5 with the same ability, she would have been much better.
She's a dragon can't do better than that
if she were a one mana 20/20 she would also be much better :P
@@User-jo7jp I mean, we dont have cards similar to that in magic do we? However, Niv Mizzet reborn isn't far from a 5/5 legendary dragon with rainbow cost that can draw you 5 cards when come into play.

Probably third or smth

if you think about it, being third is much more difficult than being first. the skillful timing involved uses maths not yet invented.
