Welcome back everyone! Today we are going to play an Alchemy deck! Alchemy is the new format on MTG Arena that takes Standard and adds new digital only cards to the format alongside balancing existing cards by nerfing or buffing them. Today we build are playing the best deck in Alchemy; at least, I think it is the best deck in Alchemy. My vote for that goes to Boros Dragons.
If you want to see even more matches with the deck, I highly recommend you follow my personal YouTube channel and/or my Twitch channel.
Let us go ahead and look at the decklist!

I honestly cannot remember the last time a dragon's deck was tier one that wasn't Dragonstorm, and that deck was more a storm deck than a dragon deck. Well, I promise you, thanks to Fearsome Whelp, that dragons are now a tier one deck, even with the Goldspan Dragon nerf. This deck just aims to, you guessed it, play dragons. Fearsome Whelp or Orb of Dragonkind is what we are looking for in our opening hand. If you do not have those two, then you either need a hand of removal or at the very least, a 3-drop in Nadaar, Selfless Paladin. This deck is highly resilient against battlefield wipes with hasty dragons and creature lands. And thanks to the addition of White, the deck has a ton of sideboard options. Divine Purge really shores up the Mono-Black and Mono-White matchups! This deck is definitely one that will get you to Mythic if that's what you're aiming for.
That's it for today, thanks for reading/watching!
