Thoughts?\nHarvest Season is understandable, I will check for something different.\n"}]}

Silverww99 2 months{"ops":[{"insert":"Dragon Cultist is definitely a hat on a hat here. If you have Tiamat out, odds are you probably don't need a 5/5 dragon token every turn, or you have better ways to get them.\nGold Dragon is cool, but doesn't really contribute much.\nSame with Icingfang, that's a lot of work for kinda mediocre payoff.\nHellkite ignitor seems like more of an artifact card than a dragon card.\nI'm also not convinced Renari is doing a lot for the deck, aside from being cool with Dracogenesis\n\nLastly, I would consider swapping out Grave Betrayal with something like Rise of the Dark Realms. About the same CMC and it gets every creature all at once\n"}]}
