just started playing again

hello!

I accidently put this on wrong part thati wanted to. I'm just reposting it in general.

I just got into playing again casually and am just starting to build decks again. I was making a Dragon deck (just to see how it would be) but couldn't do all dragons bc i don't have enough. here is what i have in the deck so far. As i get better dragon cards and more of the same ones i will add them and pull other cards out.

I based this one off of my plainswalker and Helkite Overlord (red black and green)

plainswalkers
1x Sarkhan Vol

Creatures(Dragons)
1x Helkite Overlord
2x Two-Headed Dragon
1x Catacomb Dragon
1x Broodmate Dragon
1x Flameblast Dragon
1x Preditor Dragon
1x Volcanic Dragon
1x Shivian Hellkite

Creatures (non dragon)
1x Kresh the Bloodbraided
1x wall of souls
2x vine of trellis
2x Dragon's Herald
2x Hell's Thunder
1x Zirilan of the Claw
2x Knight of Dusk
2x Mycoloth
1x Flowstone
1x Sabertooth Wyvern
4x Rip-Clan Crasher

Spells
2x Dark Ritual
2x Branching Bolt
3x Blightning
1x Violent Ultimatium

Artifact
1x Quietus Spike

Non-Basic Lands
3x Savage Lands

Basic Lands
9x Mountain
5x Swamp
5x Forest


It's kind of random but i still like it. I know it can use a lot of improvements but i think it's on it's way to being pretty decent. it's kind of a high casting cost deck so i added some low cost non dragon creatures like, knight of dusk, Rip-Clan Crasher, and Mycoloth is gg3 to get out but once you use the devour skill you have a huge line of saporlings to use for blocking and sacraficing. especially if you get the 2nd one out after a few turns of getting saporlings in play.

I'm also building a deck around my Elspeth, Knight Errant
i want to include my 2 Rafiq of the Many, and a godsire but the red mana/creature sacrafice for the Herald is making it kinda difficult bc i don't have many multi colored creatures that are R/W, R/G, R/B... it's probably dumb trying to put that card in there but we will see what happens...


feel free to critique and help out! Thanks!!!!

Crucible of Fire powers your dragons (dragons you control get +3/+3), but it costs 3R.

Dragon Roost costs 4RR to play, enchantment, and if you pay 5RR you get a 5/5 dragon with flying. Not bad, but costs alot. Good to play if you have a limited amount of dragons and feel like playing one when you have Crucible of Fire out.

I never played dragons so I can't help to much. Sorry :(

if you are playing this many high cost cards, you should throw ramp cards into the mix, rampant growth and fertile ground for instance.

I found that some elementals help. like smokebraider and soulbright flamekin. you use smokebraider on soulbright flamekin and tap some lands to get 8 red mana when you only spent 6 mana. you can do this on turn 4.
