I find the draw to be very decent, the lower dragon cards can help you hold out while you wait for the more situational things. I also believe if you try and push more draw into the deck, you may loose the dragon aspect or the control.

As for the switching of Shadow Madness, you are able to, though I personally find them very useful myself. The Museum Curator is decent gives you another creature on the field, though perhaps Shrinkmeister maybe a little better with the potential combo it has with Cabal Shadow Priest in taking slightly better cards, like Yersa for one.

Thought steal could be decent if you’re looking to use the opponents cards against them, and keeps with the slight control theme. Zombie Chow I just really dislike unless you have Auchenai Soulpriest. With that combo at least you have a chance to not return health to the opponent. But the deck isn’t really setup for Auchenai in my opinion. Holy Smite, is good but it’s single target use kind of brings trouble when aggro seems to like walls of creatures.

Regardless of those choices, give them a shot, you’re right it is all very situational.

As far as Aoe’s Lightbomb is a good card, the only issue with it is that it hits your creatures as well. Sure, you may not have a lot out at once, but could also hurt you more than your opponent. Holy Fire I enjoy just a bit more because it heals your player as well, keeps you on the health curve a bit. Plus it’s a decent nuke on those more annoying 5/5 creatures they may throw at ya. Though, it all depends Lightbomb is definitely a good card to try and see if it helps curve the weakness potentially to aggro or bigger threats.

It really just depends on what you’re looking for in your heavy hitter dragons really. I love Ysera’s ability, but Neferian hits a lot harder. Hell, alexstrasza, even holds a bit of sway as well.

I think this will be a good move. It will force folks to actually try new things that don’t necessarily do heh. I for one get tired of the same decks all the time, hell tired of seeing the same decks played against me. Yeah, yeah meta’s are what makes people win, but I enjoy the fun of just playing, so I only have a few meta decks made, the rest are just random things I’ve cooked up to have fun with. So narrowing the playing field a bit just brightens my will, to continue to try new things.
