The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

A friend wanted a consistent and budget dragon deck. This is what I came up with.
Take it to the face... unfortunately. You've got SOME removal on 2, and more on 3+, which will hopefully keep you in the game until turn 4, when you start doing some seriously scary things with Dragons!

There are very few reasons not to include Lightning Bolt in a mono red deck. It's cheap, it's irl affordable, it's a build around on red.

I know what you're saying but it does push the budget up. I'll make a note of it for my friend, could make a good sub for Mizzium Mortars if she wanted something with more speed and versatility to hit face rather than late-game potential to board clear.
I hate Fellwar Stone! Everflowing Chalice, scales, is 1/2 the irl money cost, and doesn't have the problem Fellwar has when the opponent only has colorless mana or none at all!Talisman of Impulse has an even cheaper irl cost, and can produce colored mana as well as colorless.I'm assuming the 12 sweepers are because the dragons cost so much, and you need to not die? Take a look at the Gruul colored Dinosaur decks that were in Standard recently, they all used ramp because the dinosaurs (in your case dragons) are so expensive.I'd keep Anger to hedge against Finks or things that don't die vs having Sweltering Suns, and sideboard the rest, put in Bolt.Budget Sideboard-You need Ratchet Bomb to keep the Taxes style decks off you.-Graveyard hate to stop Dredge, reanimate, flashback decks. Relic of Progenitus is the standard, but Sentinel Totem will do.-Guttural Response in counter heavy metas-In mill heavy metas, Elixir of Immortality is cheap irl, and great to help against burn.No budget-If you can afford it, why not Aether Vial?-Try saving up to get Sarkhan, Fireblood if you wanna make mono red Dragons really shine.
Good catch on the stone, I actually made a mistake with that and thought it was something else. The rest will stay in mind of future adjustments as it's largely just more money going into the deck. If the sweeps turn out to be not great they can as you say move into SB, with other more practical cards going to MB.
Take a look at the recent Dinosaur decks, they're very similar to your build type- expensive creatures, non-blue, etc.Sweltering Suns is only if your meta allows it. I find whatever is in your deck they're playing the other need. Have Suns? Then they're playing Dredgezombierecursionamatorfinks. Have Anger? Well then they're playing x/4 or indestructibles.
