Yeap, I got that from the above.

I knew Zirilan had been updated but forgot to check the (stupid) Portal card.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound elitist

Tog, would you mind explaining the inclusions of
Synod Sanctum and
Cryptic Gateway? I really love the general and the list, but I'm just not feeling those two cards. I know Sanctum gets you CIP triggers again, but it seems sort of vulnerable (
Krosan Grip or any well-timed disenchant can really ruin your day) - and Gateway just seems unnecessary.
As for additions, I LOVE
Erratic Portal, especially here. As a previous poster said, 2RR to fetch any dragon in your deck, swing with it, and then put it into your hand seems pretty awesome. I also really like
Claws of Gix since it can be fetched up with Hoarding Dragon and allows for multiple activations (good if you Brighthearth Zirilan's ability).
I saw Thran Foundry in your list; maybe
Feldon's Cane for some redundancy? Or
Elixir of Immortality for a reshuffle effect that doesn't go away (assuming you have your
Hoarding Dragon around). I also thought
Rishadan Pawnshop could have some relevance here, but I haven't played this list at all. Perhaps it's too easy to disrupt.
I really like the possibilities the Hoarding Dragon/Zirilan combo presents. If I were building a Zirilan list I might try to include an artifact sub-theme to get the most out of this, but maybe that's just me.
