Atog dragons just wow

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

True, 4 Shivans 🤩 What frustrates me a little as a brewer is that disenchant is sooo good that it’s worth the splash in these type of brews. I like it more as a pure brown/red build 😅

[@koendertruifrok567]

I agree but you need aswers in your deck 😅

what is cooler than casting a shivan dragon.... i'll tell you.... reanimating one from enemys grave ;-)

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

😂 True, animate dead is a great card, especially when combined with Disk. Blow up the board and pick out the biggest baddest creature to reanimate.

I'm very curious if RUW dragons could run basalt monolith insteada mana vault and cut atog, then run a copy of power artifact, that's where my heads at after seeing game one. I think a deck like this would untap mana vault for 4 if it could to set up the next fireball, disintegrate, or shivan, so the basalt monolith costing 3 to untap might be worthwhile. Alternatively, some felwar stones for the atog to eat might even mana fix while stopping factories. I love this deck, even if the opponent countered it beautifully in these games. Blue blast and countermagic kinda stops RUW dragons from being a dominant force but its still loads of fun to breathe 10.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

I like that idea, playing Power Artifact as a "surprise" card and alternative win condition. I do feel that with the Atog you have a good sac outlet for the Vault He was just unlucky here and probably had the vauilt do great things for him the rest of the day. Making it to T8 means he won at least four of the five previous matches, which is good in that field of players.

Good games

[@simoncph]

Shivans are soooo cool, however Mana Vault is unfortunately a little bit overrated in my experience. Having played with it in many different decks; the drawback is so painfully real and you actually quite often loose matches as a consequence of the pings from the Mana Vault, especially in the scenario of multiple copies that are not handled timely. 😅

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

True, you need a sac outlet or some plan with them. Obviously Rich is playing the Atogs for that job and also a Sage or Transmute can be great synergy, but yeah sometimes you just don’t find the cards you need…
