Overview
Just your standard casual dragon flavor deck. More for the Dragons then Zirilan, but he is definitely fun to use, and has some outlets as well. This is also the only EDH deck that I own a paper version of, as such there are some less then usual choices.
Combos
Zirilan + Any of the following = Not exiling dragons
Culling Dais
Helm of Posession
Tel-Jilad Stylus
Miren, the Moaning Well
Fling

Change Log

-1 Thran Dynamo
+1 Caged Sun
other sac outlets that don't really require any additional slots are high market and keldon necropolis. If you're going to sac them, you should have a good way to recur them (elixir being one-use-only makes it pretty lame). reito lantern is my preference, it's doubles as recursion hate.
mogg war marshall should come out, as should the wimpy fledgling dragon and anything similar to it.
oblivion stone is very important. Red doesn't have a lot of good mass-removal (except those that also kill lands, like obliterate) and it's fetchable with hoarding dragon. Also, insurrection has won a lot of games. and with good sac outlets, it's a hell of a beating followed by a plague wind.
feel free to check out my decklist for zirilan in my sig (mine is very zirilan focused, I never hardcast the dragons unless I have to). I've gotten very good results with it.
The lands aren't a bad addition, and not all that expensive either. The little dragons are in there for the flavor, although Insurrection would be a fun one.
