Could Stratus Dancer be playable in a control sideboard or a tempo deck? A Welkin Tern without the drawback is an OK turn two play, and then later on it can be a negate attached to a reasonable body.

I actually think it's a good sideboard card against the mirror in control decks. The other control player would have likely sided out most of their removal, so either it hits a good spell, or it eats a Downfall, both of which are pretty solid value.

Spiderdrake

Stratus Dancer looks really good at disrupting control fighting aggro, but control on control is an interesting dynamic for boarding it in. 3UU for a counter + a 3/2 flier is pretty solid if it hits a larger spell, and it eats two spells if it has to be removed.

I kinda wonder if some silly Temur morph deck is going to show up. I bet that will make Count Bleck really excited.

Sacrifice all creatures you control. For each creature sacrificed this way, put a 4/4 Dragon token with flying on to the battlefield.
OR
Destroy any number of target creatures, for each creature destroyed this way, its controller puts a 4/4 red dragon creature token into play.

Not sure which is right.

I've seen some alternative translations as well.

So this is basically Hellion Eruption except they fly?

Let the ellipsis force embrace you. Take up your period key, and strike down the thread with its fury...

Interesting note: So far this set is multicolor dragon mythics, multicolor dragon rares, dragon commands at rare, a multicolor walker and the one article implied there is a cycle of multicolor uncommons. Feels like only the dragons kept multicolor? Maybe?

Terrible new player question. Been working on constructing a Sultai Control deck since I got an Ugin out of my first draft ever the other day. Looking around online, I see land looking a lot like this a lot:
2 Island
3 Swamp
2 Llanowar Wastes
4 Opulent Palace
4 Polluted Delta
2 Temple of Deceit
4 Temple of Malady
1 Temple of Mystery
2 Yavimaya Coast
1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

Often there's 1 Bloodstained Mire as well.

What's the purpose for the Yavimaya, Llanowar and the Mire? Why not throw in different scry or the life gain lands? I actually have all of that except for the 4 Temple of Malady, which I'm replacing with a Jungle Hollow at the moment.

Also, Mindscour Dragon is hilarious and has performed very well for me in my drafting so far.

While it's still not a great mythic, there is worlds of difference between 4/4s and 4/4 flyers and it's at the same CMC. Just be glad one more mythic not making you pay for it!

Usually pain lands in place of Scry or Gain lands is because you want a certain ratio of lands that come into play untapped in order to not lose tempo. If you need to cast a Bile Blight on Turn 2 or a 3-drop on Turn 3, that becomes hard when all but 5 of your lands come into play tapped. Bloodstained Mire is solely there to further enable your delve spells. Also provides a slight benefit when you have Courser out and need to shuffle away a useless card on top of your deck.
