Revised deck. I took a lot of your advice, WizardSpartan. Probably still land heavy, but I feel pretty good about where it is at now.

I think what you're not understanding is that WizardSpartan is a regular on the site, so other regulars are pretty familiar with them and the way they generally act. The reason people are jumping on the post is because we all took it as well- intended, because WizardSpartan is usually a very friendly and helpful member of the forums. Instead of assuming that the post was meant to be condescending or rude and then attacking them and their list, you should have accepted the post as advice. Which is what you were asking for in the first place.

If you think someone is being rude or inappropriate on the forums, report it to a moderator instead of trying to start a fight in a thread.

I apologized and acknowledged they had good suggestions. Did I overreact? Yes. I acknowledged this as well. However, saying "Congratulations!" in that context can only be construed as rude and condescending, regardless of reputation or intention. I was pointing out that absolutely none of you were able to admit that and still aren't. I am sure WizardSpartan is a well intended and helpful individual. I hope that we can move passed this and help each other moving forward. Magic the Gathering doesn't have the most stellar reputation for helping newer players and I have experienced this before, but my projecting of this in this particular instance is on me. I can admit that.

I can admit that I overreacted, but the fact that absolutely no one is acknowledging that saying Congratulations! and then following it with something wrong with the deck is inherently condescending is ridiculous. It oozes with sarcasm and as I said condescension. Trying to walk it back and say that I simply misunderstood your intent is such a non-apology. However, lets just call it a wash and move on. I have an updated deck list that I will upload and some additional ideas for cards to add.

@WizardSpartan You don't have a shit tier deck and you do have some good suggestions. I apologize.

"Congratulations, you have wayyy too many lands! You can easily, easily drop 10 lands and could even get away with dropping 12 if you really wanted to."

Not sure why you felt the need to be incredibly rude for absolutely no reason, especially considering how shit tier your feather deck is by comparison. Here is the thing about the high land count and this is from play testing the deck. It guarantees that you are consistently putting down lands every turn, while using the spells to keep drawing other cards and being able to add other creatures (something your deck severely lacks). Cliftop Retreat is maybe the only good land card that you suggested, maybe Battlefield Forge. Inspiring Vantage you have to hope you get it early and Exotic Orchard is very dependent on what your opponents are playing. I have already added a Sol Ring and an Arcane Signet is obviously a good idea in any multicolor commander deck. Talisman of Conviction and Fellwar Stone are okay, but nothing amazing. Haste seems super situational in this deck and I have already put Defiant Strike back. There is plenty of draw already in the deck and like I said the haste seems marginally good. Sunforger seems okay, but is very expensive to search for a card when the point is to have enough redundancy in the deck that tutors are unnecessary. Boros Charm seems good only for the double strike tbh otherwise it just fizzles after one use.

Unleash Fury is a good recommendation.

Unclaimed Territory seems like the most useful out of the lands you suggested. I have already spent a ton of money on this deck, so shock lands are not really something I feel like I need to get. Evolving wilds and Terramorphic expanse are also tap lands essentially. Play testing this, Mana hasn't really been an issue. Although I will say Chromatic Lantern is something I have thought about. My group is not super competitive so things like shock lands and darksteel ingot, while very good aren't really high priority for me.

The draw is necessary, in any deck. I feel like some kind of draw engine helps in all forms of magic, but especially commander. I have never really had a problem with hand size.

Descent of Dragons is more to pop my mana ramp creatures in late game and bigger threats than 4/4 dragons, but I have been considering taking it out. However, Silumgar is also a board wipe. Ojutai can tap all the opponents blockers for me to swing in for lethal. There is also consume the meek since most of the dragons are high cmc. Earthquake is a great suggestion and Cyclonic rift is a staple in commander, but I don't know that I would have blue reliably enough to be able to cast it.

The other cards you suggested are all great recommendations. Thank you for taking the time to make these suggestion. I appreciate it very much. Cheers!

the Ur-Dragonlord
Uploaded my Dragonlord commander deck. Pretty typical, with some slight changes. I realize I need to get crucible of fire. Any other suggestions welcome and appreciated. Cheers!

Get them Dragonbois out and burninate the countryside. Tons of mana ramp, mana fixing and mana reduction to make sure there is a revolving door of dargon rage for all your friends! Some enchantment and artifacts with when creature etb draw a card effects to get those dragonbois in your hand when your opponent boardwipe the field, you can throw them back in to burninate to victory.
