Where is Dragon Broodmother and Crucible of Fire?

both are irrelevant because of atarka's double strike. once I get atarka out, the game should only take 2 more turns. tokens wont help, and crucible is nice but not necessary

Dragon Broodmother is one of the nastier dragon's there is because she makes you an army. Perfect fit with Atarka!

Your turn: play broodmother
opponent turn: you get a devouring token
Your turn: you get another devouring token, play atarka, you have two free attacking double strikers
opponents turn: you get another devouring token
your turn: this is gonna get ridiculous quick

There is a few dragons in here that i would personally sub out for her like: Warmonger Hellkite, Two-headed Dragon, Rorix Bladewing, hellkite charger, etc. Just a suggestion man...id be sad though not to see here played in this

I have to agree that Broodmother is an absolute house, especially in a tribal deck, but honestly in the grand scheme of things a complete lack of draw, no board wipes, and one single removal spell is a much larger issue than whether or not Dragon Broodmother is an upgrade over Rorix or whatever.

You need more draw or you run out of gas in Atarka:

Greater Good: #1 priority here. You don't necessarily use it for draw so much as to turn removal into a win. A Wrath of God or targeted Doom Blade to a dragon is a lot less annoying when you can net four cards out of the deal.

Hunter's Insight: It's probably going to draw you a minimum of 5 cards, and if Atarka is out it will get you 10+. It's a star in this deck.

I'd start there and at least consider Sylvan Library, and Lurking Predators could easily put 2-3 dudes onto the battlefield per round in a multi-player game.

Kessig Wolf Run can turn tides quickly, and there's little to now downside to running it. I'd find room for Homeward Path, too . . . nothing sucks more than people stealing your guys and whacking you with them.

Dense Foiliage is fine, but I'd rather not protect everyone's creatures when I can just protect my own with Steely Resolve set to dragons.

It's largely meta-dependent, but if you've got a lot of decks packing fliers (which my meta does) when Bower Passage essentially makes all your dragons unblockable excepting for the occasional thing with reach. Just something to consider if you find yourself squaring off against bird tribal and Bruna Light of Alabaster decks often or something.
