Does anyone have an alternative win condition with dragon that deals damage as oposed to laquatus or sliver queen?
The reason I ask is because I think that that would be a good win condition because not a lot of decks have consistent enough answers to infinte damage to the head.
One example that I could find would be something like flamewave invoker. He can be animated with infinite mana floating and create damage in spurts, so even if they had four misdirections, they could not redirect all of the damage.
Idk, maybe that would work better because sliver queen takea a turn to kill, and laquatus can randomnly lose to a gaea's blessing in the deck.

Dragon does not lose to Gaea's Blessing.
Flamewave Invoker is worse than Shivan Hellkite which is worse than on-color options. I don't know what you're talking about with the Misdirections either, but it seems like you're inferring that you think the ability can be Misdirected.
An ideal kill card would be a Sundering Titan that says "2: deal 1 damage to target creature or player." While there obviously is no such card, the example I present shows what a kill condition should offer- some utility and/or be a beater in itself outside of the combo, as well as obviously functioning as a kill with infinite mana. There's no card like that yet, and Sliver Queen and Laquatus both have their advantages as they are.

Bulls on Parade is absolutely correct here. Closed.
