Reviews
Last Light of Durin's Day is basically unplayable in Limited. You can't reasonably expect it to get up to six in a game, even if you played it on turn 2. Even if you did, you'd then need a dragon in your deck and to not have drawn it already. Its only saving grace is the fact that you can mountaincycle it if you happen to need an effect like that, but otherwise it's awful.

Beasts and Burn Filler
Six Mountains have to enter after it is out before you it and put a Dragon card from your hand or library onto the battlefield, which almost never happens in a deck with about eight. The only Dragons it could find here are Smaug, the Great Calamity, Smaug the Magnificent and Desert Were-Worm.
