Death by Dragons--Probably going to replace
Broodmate Dragon, but definitely going in. It seems like good fun, even without stealing them all. If I get lucky, it'll be 4RR + rez mana (targeting Karrthus) to have a hasty dragon for each opponent. I am so excited for death by dragons.
Dragonmaster Outcast--It looks nifty, but I don't think it's that great. My problem with it is that it doesn't work until turn 7ish, by which point, almost anyone that wants to can take out a 1/1 that makes dragons. I haven't used it, so people that have may decide I'm wrong.
Dragonspeaker Shaman--I was lucky enough to pick up some
Urza's Incubators before I knew the price (which were over $6 when I first checked, way back), but even those didn't make it in. Initially, I just didn't care about the price of these guys, because I would just rez them. Writing this out is making me reconsider the incubator. Dragonspeaker really stands out as a target to people. The last time I let one live, a
Kilnmouth killed me.
Crucible of Fire--I think it's a win-more card. Unless you're pumping out dudes with
Dragon Broodmother, then you really should have it. Speaking of broodmother, if you run her, try
Bladewing's Thrall. Just throwing that out there for people who haven't thought of it. It's something I keep coming back to with Karrthus, as if it was seasonal.
Mana Flare/
Heartbeat of Spring/
Mana Reflection--Mana flare and the like kick ass in other decks, just not mine. I had all of them in the deck, but I was never super excited to see them. This deck always worked well without mana accellerators and they kind of got in the way, since I could be drawing a business spell or a land, which is better than a mana rock if you would otherwise miss a land drop. It even led to me filtering out most of the non-land, non-creatures permanents. It's also why I think my deck is weird compared to other builds.

I also thought about
Vernal Bloom but I don't think that would help me as much as green is more of a splash color for me.
Splash or not, vernal bloom is crap in a 3-color deck.
