Dragon Wishes

My latest build of the Day of the Dragons/Three Wishes deck, which I believe to be a great improvement on my previous deck, Enchantments and Dragons.

Unlike most deck builders that I've seen attempt this kind of deck I've decided that the entire Stormspawn/Windfall/Colossus ramping was entirely too clunky, did not really achieve much and costed games rather often duo to being hard to play and susceptible to powerful removal like Frogify that sets you way too far behind.

This deck excels against cheap rush tactics as well as slower decks - the most difficult matchups are midrange decks and the worst would be something like Disciple combo duo to the very quiet, passive nature of the deck. I've generally not encountered many of such decks recently.

When mulliganing, the prefered setup is to keep cheap farmer creatures (Tiki, Shell, Willow) and card cycling like Feed, Earthcraft and Gabrian Enchantment; you want to go through your deck quickly and find the Earthcrafts fast, as the last thing you want to do is lay 10 special lands (since Feed and Frogify require 3) 1 by 1. If you're up against something like rush, definitively keep the good farmers and some Gabrian Enchantresses, and perhaps even something like Garudan can stick in your hand as a backup plan. For decks slower than rush you go with the economic setup described above. (farmers, cycling, feed)

The way to play this deck is to form a diamond shape from your Orb, not helping the opponent build a path to your territory to allow you maximum time to reach Three Wishes. The only creature you want to double collect is the Shell, and you preferably don't build lands on the side where you are running the Shell unless there's a great reason.

After starting with either Lakes or Forests (place 2 of each, then 3rd when you need it) you should opt to build mountains as you might get Garudan early, then finish off with Deserts. Three Wishes should also be played sparingly, as sometimes the top 3 cards of the opponent might be useless - so you want to save your Wish for later times. Day of the Dragons should only be played if you have a plan to play a Dragon straight away, to surprise the opponent.
