Type 2 - Burst of Dragons

Or maybe more than one a week eh?

This deck comes from a need than has no been solved by a few cards in M10. Seems it's been doing that a lot lately. If you've ever played with Sarkhan you know it's always fun when Sarkhan throws up his hands, screams like a banshee at the top of his lungs, and 5 ferocious, violent, angry, sleep-deprived dragons come careening out of the sky. However, you would also know that your planeswalking advesaries hate it when this happens so they'll throw all their forces and resources at your poor little ally. And then, even if the summoning goes off without a hitch, those little dragons have to sit there for a turn, flying around all sick and what not. It's sad, and it gives your opponents the chance to pull something out of their bag of tricks.

But not anymore. Sarkhan no longer has to bid goodbye and let the dragons do nothing. As he goes, watch as a shock of lightning turbocharges the dragons, sending a flying air force straight at the enemy.

Enough of my ranting, here's the deck.

|| Creatures ||

4 Birds of Paradise
4 Ceradon Yearling
4 Ripclan Crasher
4 Bloodbraid Elf

|| Other Spells ||
4 Sarkhan Vol
4 Burst of Speed
4 Nature's Spiral
4 Fog
2 Angelsong
2 Trace of Abundance
2 Trumpet Blast

|| Lands ||
2 Rootbound Crag
2 Sunpetal Grove
2 Jungle Shrine
6 Forests
5 Mountains
5 Plains

The idea is simple. Ramp fast. Sarkhan pops out some dragons. Burst of Speed hastes them, and 20 damage swings in the air. Early blockers you say? What about them hitting Sarkhan? Our little Yearling is a good friend for that. Swing away and all the while he stays to protect our friend. What if they burn Sarkhan? Nature's Spiral pops him back into your hand. Perfect.

Another nifty combo? Pop off Sarkhan's ultimate. Nature's Spiral brings him back, pop into play again, and +1 for 25 in the air.

Turn 1: Forest, Birds of Paradise

Turn 2: Mountain, Birds of Paradise, Ceradon Yearling. 2.

Turn 3: Rootbound Crag, Sarkhan Vol, +1 = 5. 3.

Turn 4: Forest, Bloodbraid Elf --->> Ripclan Crasher, SV +1 = 6. 10.

Turn 5: SV -6 = 0, Nature's Spiral, Sarkhan Vol, +1 = 5. 25 in the air, 10 on the ground.

Better hope you saved that Fog. All four of them. For the next few turns. And more.

"Oh shit Dragons! Wow, at least they can't attack--"

"HASTE!!!!!!!!!"
