Don't miss last week's "build your own precon" video featuring Ovika, Enigma Goliath: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fISrpZ2Dd9ykb5Y

[@ChrisBalon]

I missed this one I'll watch it now

[@morrius0757]

I definitely want to see more decks like this, the Professor was a genius and I hope more MTGtubers hop on board this bandwagon!

[@alexandergartner8877]

I'm a dragon player at heart. My second EDH deck was Lathliss. When Miirym was spoiled I was so hyped that I immediately decided to build a deck for him. When I brought it to my LGS it smashed so hard it wasn't even fun anymore. Since then I nerfed the deck by only including cards from Forgotten Realms and Baldur's Gate. It's still absurdly strong at my LGS. I enjoy it much less than I anticipated to. Since then I built other dragon decks helmed by Firkraag (Goading dragons), Rith Liberated (Dragon tokens), Ziatora (Death trigger dragons) and Drakuseth (Voltron). I enjoy these much more.

[@LibertyFixxxer]

Yes. I want to see a Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper version of these "precon" brews!

[@japoniano]

I don't play Commander, but I have an old deck with him, Savra, Lyzolda, Shirei, and Braids that once it gets running forces the opponents to sacrifice their stuff while I I sacrifice mine for value

[@ComfyDents]

The Ur-Dragon was my first precon and introduction into edh. It is crazy how prices developed since. Who would've thought that the most iconic timmy tribe would be popular?

[@mrsilverbutton7786]

Another great budget deck! This is a great resource out there for folks to start with per usual

[@Aerix]

My wife and I built her a miirym deck for her and despite being a devout elf/vampire fan she instantly fell in love with miirym. It is a fun commander!

[@DigitalD20]

I have a not so budget Miirym and I'll say two things. First, doubling dragons is good, no matter how expensive they are. Second, Ganax is MVP. Ganax and his copy entering alone is 3 treasure. Follow that with any dragon and their copy and it's 4 treasure every successful ETB.

[@CommanderMechanic]

yuuuup, in testing even the "worst" dragons are value town getting 2x. And the treasures from Ganax are clutch. Be careful if Swashbuckler is out ☠☠☠

[@Wistbacka]

Rapacious dragon can also do wonders if you have a deadeye navigator in the deck 💀

[@cyberwolfy37]

Miirym is better at making treasure than the Korvold treasure deck I'm building purely because of Ganax. in no game can I say "I swing with 5 dragons, which gives me 10 6/6 dragons and 20 treasures" this happened to me in a magical christmas scenario. I casted my miirym, which fulfilled the requirement of mossworth bridge, allowing me to cast the hidden Ganax, netting me 3 treasure, because I have dragonspeaker shaman, I had enough to cast thrakus the butcher. then next turn I cast utvara hellkite, making a copy, then swing with the two thrakus, two ganax, and mirrym, quadrubling all dragon power, and making 10 dragon, and 20 treasures.

[@Whitehalo117]

Worldgorger dragon is also cheap and a win condition with Miirym if you have any etb dragons that do damage on the field or dragon tempest

[@andrijagrgic2357]

Love the profs take on it and love to see more people do it too!! I ordered already the thrun deck fro profs Suggestion This dragon deck looks dope! Thanks for sharing

[@CommanderMechanic]

Awesome, glad you like it! There are a ton of fun to build!

[@thetimeformiller]

Love this series - please keep them coming!

[@CommanderMechanic]

As long as y’all keep watching I’ll keep making em!

[@DanKeller]

Good stuff man. Quality content

[@CommanderMechanic]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@krim7]

This deck is rad!

[@a.teixeira5382]

Great content

[@SeekerOf7ruth]

Yeeeees. Another!

[@draco4569]

Renari, Merchant of Marvels is a potential include because it allows you to cast Dragon and artifact spells as though they had flash. This can potentially throw your opponents off if done right.

[@m4k4v3liii]

I love the video, but where I am, those two medallions alone are worth more than $45, sadly. I shared your video with my local community. A lot of people are wanting to build this commander.

[@CommanderMechanic]

the medallions are NOT in the deck - they are in fact very expensive and used as examples of cost-reducers!!

[@Wistbacka]

I recommend "Displace" over "Blur". I find it more useful to flicker two dragons than drawing that extra card.

[@Yamazakura00]

I was thinking of building a miirym deck.. Am deciding if I should get the singles or just get a precon to start off with it. For precon, I was thinking either draconic destruction, draconic dissent but lightly not draconic rage

[@CommanderMechanic]

I'd go with the singles. A precon is a great way to go but many are over the $50 that you could buy this entire deck for!

[@danthemanmillan]

would you be able to post the upgraded version moxfield?

[@ArmageddonAsh]

solid deck. Shocked to not see Astral Dragon, Scourge of Valkas or Wrathful Red Dragon. All fantastic options and Astral has an easy infinite combo with Cursed Mirror. all 4 cards are like $3-4 each and very solid cards.

[@CommanderMechanic]

$3-4 each is still too much for a $45 budget

[@keving.4650]

@@CommanderMechanic even just Wrathful Red combined with Blashphemous Act can close out a game.

[@jonathandoherty9082]

Miirym is the Bane of my LGS

[@Wistbacka]

3:30 small mistake there: Earthquake dragon checks total cmc costs of your dragons, not their power. But otherwise this was a nice list. Personally I run no cost reducers, as they can be so easily removed. Thus I prefer mana ramp.

[@Wistbacka]

Ganax or Rapacious dragon + deadeye navigator is the most broken thing ever. Have a draw engine or haste enabler and it's gg.

[@imanujakku]

Sometimes i wonder how much miirym would cost if she was a mythic lol.

[@anthonyfinnimore7394]

Cool list. Have you considered clones as a subtheme? Just copying miirym would be great, let alone any other dragons in play

[@CommanderMechanic]

it's discussed in the upgrades section of the video!

[@Solus3D]

Please make a grixis deck

[@5k_gamingofficial289]

Earthquake dragon discounts based on mana value not power, still just as good tho.

[@angelofsolitude7951]

I don't Crucible adds anything to the deck, Neoform or Savage Ventmaw would probably improve it to a higher degree without impacting budget. The price isn't reflecting what you indicate, but I can appreciate the thought behind it, my completed Miirym deck is quite pricey, especially for the newer mythic dragons. The exclusion of Magda probably makes a truer pre-con too, as Magda increase value/power of deck exponentially.

[@CommanderMechanic]

ensure Card Kingdom is your preferred vendor in Moxfield

[@draco4569]

@@CommanderMechanic I'd use Card Kingdom if it weren't for its ridiculous shipping costs.

[@darmacannon]

[@lupash]

I loved making dragon copies, then I started focusing on copying Miirym directly.

[@Murwiz]

You misspoke: Crucible of Fire gives +3/+3, but you said +2/+2.

[@CommanderMechanic]

good catch!

[@vgpatman9728]

The opponent lands are called Bond lands not battle lands

[@japoniano]

I always end up using changelings as cheap filler

[@CommanderMechanic]

It’s a fine call but I wanted dragons to be DRAGONS!

[@japoniano]

@@CommanderMechanic that's racist!

[@joltaikv2340]

it says the deck is $88 on moxfield

make sure your preferred vendor is Card Kingdom!

​@@joltaikv2340 In my experience Card Kingdom almost always ends up being twice TCGplayer.
