It's very similar to my previous try at 5 colour dragons, playing all the dragonlords and a ton of ramp.
Round 1: 2-0 vs RU Thopters
In the first round, I played against a new player with his casual thopters deck. In round 1 I ramped into Surrak followed by three Whisperwoods and in the second I ramped into dragonlords Kolaghan and Dromoka. The mana seemed fine if slow, with the Beastcallers doing a good job fixing. I could have cast a turn 4 Sarkhan in game 2 if I had started with a Rattleclaw instead of a Beastcaller... but with two dragonlords in my hand and no Sarkhan, I think I made the right play. I suppose it worked out either way.
Round 2: 0-2 vs Mono-Red Midrange
Even against the midrange version of the red deck, I was just far too slow. The combination of all my tapped lands and my opponent cleverly burning all my mana-dorks means I never really got going and got run over. Ouch.
Round 3: 2-0 vs RG Midrange
This round was better for me. My opponent was also a new player and I was easily able to play bigger threats sooner than he could. I like the way the deck plays when my opponent doesn't disrupt me or put on too quick a clock.
Round 4: 2-0 vs GW Midrange
The last round saw me paired up against another new player. The first round saw me ramp out a quick Dragonlord Atarka and in the second I beat down with Heir of the Wilds and Flamebreak Regent.
It was nice to see so many new faces at the tournament... and I felt a little bad crushing them with mythic dragons. Not so bad that I didn't enjoy it though :D I think the deck is mostly fine.. though I either need to come up with a proper sideboard that has a plan against the red decks or just write off those match-ups entirely.
