Wrong, this build is perfectly RAW-based. The older builds are using Magical items and High Level and multiclass(Sorlock).

New builds are without a single magical item, simplier enough to be playable and I create low level, mid level and high level. Single classed Sorcerer King.

So first, this build is predicated on a GM allowing Ravnica backgrounds.

... that's a fatal flaw right there. If they are allowed, Golgari Warlock with level 4 Animate Dead twice per short rest has already won everything.

Also, as a Shepherd Druid player, I'm distinctly unimpressed. You've got, like, 4 eagles and spend 10 minutes prebuffing them, burning two second level and three first level slots. And your third level slots are tied up with animate dead. Cool. I'm going to summom eight flying snakes with my action, give them 12 temp HP with my bonus action, and see if I have an Eversmoking Bottle or an ally to cast Fog Cloud or Darkness. The snakes attack for 8.5 damage each, with advantage, at +6, with Flyby, and return attacks are at Disadvantage. They're going to take out the eagles REALLY easily, and there's suddenly only a low level sorcerer and four skeletons without slots left to deal with.

And I burned all of one third level slot and a short rest recharge ability for this.

This is supposed to outclass me... how?

EDIT: Also, Curse of Strahd's Dark Gift isn't compatible with Ravnica and how are you concentrating on both Dragon's Breath and Conjure Animals?

This build, while certainly interesting, will not work.
You cannot concentrate on both Conjure Animals and Dragon's Breath at the same time.

Second, while the image of a skeleton army riding giant eagles is awesome, there is one other problem.


All skeletons and the SK are using Dark Robes and Masks, It isn’t a disguise, It hides their physical appareance. Impossible to know who is the SK.

Your build is not equipped with Subtle Spell.
I would argue that it would make it very easy to identify the spellcaster, as they would be the one fellow in this undead group shouting strange words in a mystical language.

Finally, you mention 5th level spells. I assume you mean the 3rd level spell slots you first received at 5th level, because otherwise what you are trying to accomplish simply will not work until you advance to 9th level.

No, THAT'S why he gets banned. Being wrong isn't a bannable offense. Being insulting, repeatedly and without care for others, can be.

Also ban evasion. That's another reason he gets (re)banned.

No, Fog Cloud is definitely in the Druid list, and no, you can't.

My summons can deal magical damage. You can't.

I can apply HP buffs without spending 10 minutes for Inspiring Leader. You can't.

If someone dispels my summon, I can reset it for one third level spell. If someone dispels your setup, you lost...

1. All your base Sorcery Points plus a first level slot for the Extended Conjure Animals
2. Three second level slots and a first level slot for Aid
3. Your fourth level slot and a first level slot for Extended Dragon's Breath, if that was somehow legal

Assuming you got 8 whole skeletons for this trick, you now have...

1 first level slot
0 second level slots
1 third level slot
0 fourth level slots

After one (1) Dispel. Or running out of duration.

Or, since this is level 7 and the DM clearly doesn't care about balance, the Druid summons eight pixies. Eight Dispel Magics, eight Entangles, eight Phantasmal Force, and eight Polymorph castings should completely outclass everything about your setup.

Heavy Obscurement prevents you from seeing them. Sight is a requirement for even targeting the correct square.

Tidal wave would work, because fall damage. I retract that they would survive.

That said, the pixies are 15 HP and appear anywhere the druid chooses. You are not outside their spell range.

If they were summoned outside of engagement range, they are Invisible and take a Hide action until in range, and your skeletons would be unable to target them. +7 Stealth with Advantage.
