Grixis Dragons
>Building
Nothing at the moment, Grixis Dragons will be able to go through to late 2016 so I'm sticking with it, I'd like for UB eldrazi to be a thing but it doesn't seem likely

>UB eldrazi
I've been playing that for a while, trying to get it down. When it works, I generally find people hating me for making such a slow, annoying deck that kills a portion of their deck at a steady pace. The worst matchups are against aggro, and I could try and fix that by adding some sustain options but I've had a hard time finding room for it.
Other than that, I feel it's not exactly in the proper place in Standard right now. Oath might help it pick up a bit though, with stuff like Endbringer being a solid, effective body that does work, Blighted Crossroads essentially being the Mana Confluence of Drazi, and Newkozi in general just being a soild body that can turn your spare junk into handy counterspells. Mirrorpool seems alright, I'm just not too sure about it.

Right now I'm working on a B/W Lifegain shenanigans deck mainly because that's what I generally like playing and am just now getting back into Magic. Not sure if I'll be playing in FNM though- it's been a while.
On a related note, it's been a while since I've played any FNMs. Is there a website I can go to that lists what the major decks in the meta are? Just so I could get an idea of what I'd be playing against.

List? I run UB eldrazi and I am generally the ignored player and end up winning with it despite how slow it is
I've been playing this pile of jank on mtgo and I am actually winning pretty frequently in the open play
I am going to attribute it to me playing well and everyone else being braindead but it is kinda ok
note: I am cheap as fuck and need to buy more fetches
>>44416875
I've been considering dropping the hedron archives for ruin processors/breakers of armies and ob nixilis for ugin once I manage to get my hands on one. Those are the best options I can think of in terms of sustainability outside of extra dismal backwaters. I might end up just maining the murderous cuts too, and keeping the ruinous path on the side considering my local meta is nothing but atarka red.
The playet of mage-ring networks were a more recent addition I decided to try to get my larger dudes out a bit quicker. So far it's been pretty solid but it's not exactly the perfect answer to giving the deck the proper speed it needs.
other than that this is the list I run
>>44417287
No sunken hollow?
I'll post my list minus sideboard since I only use one because its required. I am still shocked I managed to win with this deck since I made it as a joke
1x Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger
2x Bane of Bala Ged
2x Eldrazi Devastator
1x Tide Drifter
1x Ruination Guide
4x Mist Intruder
4x Benthic Infiltrator
2x Sludge Crawler
2x Dominator Drone
1x Sire of Stagnation
2x Fathom Feeder
2x Ulamog's Nullifier
4x Spell Shrivel
3x Dispel
2x Transgress the Mind
2x Ultimate Price
1x Hedron Archive
2x Shrine of the Forsaken Gods
4x Sunken Hollow
9x Island
9x Swamp

>No sunken hollow?
I have one laying around somewhere, I just forgot where I left it. I really need to finish up the playset at some point though.
That aside your list does look pretty solid. Bane of Bala Ged and Transgress the Mind never exactly crossed my mind until recently, so I might try to find room for them.
>>44419061
You shouldn't have to worry too much about your mana. I don't know if I would keep ob nixilis in since he will long die before you can trigger his ult. Maybe once gatewatch comes around he will get some support
>>44417287
2 Sanctum of Ugin with just one Ulamog? What for?
Those are usually used by the current eldrazi ramp decks to chain Ugins/Ulamogs
I hope there are more significant allies in Oath, because as it stand right now, the only consistently viable build for allies is b/w ally lifedrain ala kalastria healer/ serene steward
>>44422017
I don't know why they brought back Allies at all. Who the heck missed it?
Also where's my new Nicol Bolas, Wizards? They keep dropping mad hints.
>>44422085
It just feels like the allies are really missing something, but I can't put my finger on it. They have a creature for every occasion, but none of them are really that good, so it doesn't matter.
The Eldrazi on the other hand, I've had a lot of fun with.
Mono Green Ramp is fun, and I've tried my hand at U/B eldrazi, but I really need to purchase more cards in that color to make it worthy
>>44422129
>missing something
they're weak, that's what missing.
with the current power level, Kazandu Blademaster would be a rare/mythic.
>>44422129
There's nothing inherently wrong with them, they're just way way overshadowed by everything from the Tarkir block.
Come April and the next rotation Allies might be a thing, the biggest hurdle though is getting around early boardwipes, of which Wizards has just made two amazing ones in Radiant Flames and Kozilek's Return
