In the past few weeks a new "hybrid" of two decks has been doing quite well. Mad Dragon as it has become to be known combines the madness creatures with the dragon combo, theses two have great synergy together as they both rely on discarding cards. With my current meta being mostly artifact prison; and a lot of slaver, is it better to play Dragon.dec (just the combo) or would I be better of playing Mad Dragon?
Here is a smaple deck list for Mad Dragon:
Mana
4 Bazaar of Baghdad
4 Wooded Foothills
4 Taiga
2 Bayou
2 Badlands
1 Forest
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Emerald
1 Lotus Petal
1 Black Lotus
Creatures
4 Elvish Spirit Guide
4 Squee, Goblin Nabob
4 Wild Mongrel
4 Basking Rootwalla
3 Arrogant Wurm
2 Worldgorger Dragon
1 Shivan Hellkite
1 Anger
1 Caller of the Claw
Other
3 Animate Dead
2 Necromancy
4 Duress
4 Survival of the Fittest
1 Demonic Tutor
Sideboard
4 Red Elemental Blast
4 Artifact Mutation
3 Null Rod
2 Verdant Force
2 Necromancy
Also with the meta i mentioned what would be the best sideboard choices?
