I'd like to contribute a deck to the Deck Workshop.

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A >>FUN<< DECK !!!!

So don't be surprised if it won't win many duels, although it is
actually pretty strong in multiplayer games (you'll see why...)

Anyway, here is the Deck: (T1)

"Draconian Times"

--the mana
        12 x Forest
        12 x Mountain

        3 x Volcanic Dragon
        1 x Canopy Dragon

        1 x Teeka Dragon
        1 x Dragon Whelp (isn't it cute?)
--more mana
        4 x Llanowar Elves
        4 x Wall of Roots
        4 x Untamed Wilds
        4 x Horn of Greed
        1 x Fastbond
--the defense
        2 x Desert Twister
        2 x Constant Mists

        1 x Jayemdae Tome
        1 x Regrowth
        2 x Soldevi Digger

( 62 Cards Total )

Well, this deck is all about those cool dragons you always wanted to win
with... it uses a massive amount of mana producers ( Elves, Walls,
Untamed Wilds ) so you can cast some dragons. Against other creature
decks (I really don't want to think about what a control deck would do
to this deck.... ) it has Wall of Roots, Zuran Orb and (especially)
Constant Mists for defense. The Constant Mists gives you the time you
need to cast some Horns of Greed (which are in the deck to avoid getting
bored in the midgame).
But the real fun starts when you get your fastbond.. with some Horns of
Greed, you can put all your lands into play, draw your whole deck, cast
some dragons, cast zuran orb, cast Jayemdae Tome, cast a digger, then
sac some lands, discard your desert twisters to the top, then during
your next upkeep digger the twisters, draw them both (via tome), and
then start to destroy two of your opponent's permanents per turn....
(tradewind deck ???)  Sounds silly, but it actually works sometimes !!!!
(Hint: When you are at this point you should destroy your horns of greed
- suppose you can figure why :-) ).

Of course this deck is utter crap, but it's the most funny one I ever
played... should add some thawing glaciers... Feel free to mail me and
tell me what a scrub I am !!!!
