Deck discussion for Dragon Rush

The more I draw on your deck, the more one pattern plays itself out: I can naver seem to get the right mana for the job. Dragonmaster Outcast is always there, but accompanied by maybe one mountain usually. And next to him there's the Mordant Dragon or the Furyborn. Ouch. I'm thinking it's because of this that people began gravitating more and more towards the 'Jund' state of mind, for more land ramp. B/R is still doable, but you have to be more careful. I'd suggest a playset of the Akoum Refuge to balance that out, and either 3 of the Blackcleave Cliffs or 3 of the Dragonskull Summits. Either way, it'll definitely help the curve out, and balance out the lands even more.

Other than that, I can see the possibility for a Hellkite Charger in this deck to greatly affect your damage overall. Who can refuse a free extra combat step after the one you just had, anyways, especially when your combat step includes DRAGONS? Possibly add in some tinier critters to help balance out the curve more, considering that 22+ of your cards are in the CMC 4+ range, making this a slow to start deck. You could switch up a few dragons for some disposable Goblins, like some Arsonists or some Fireslingers, which do amazingly well with the bloodthirst. Not to mention you could have Voracious Dragon or Predator Dragon ready to eat the Goblins when you grew tired of them.

Thanks for the input I have been trying to get more red/black mana sources. I like using it as an archenemy deck, but when 1 v 1ing people I have noticed I don't have much to play. I will switch out some of the dragons with goblins and see how that works for 1 v 1. Do you think the goblins will take away from the crucible of fire? I guess the royal assassins aren't enough low mana creatures.

The Fireslingers shoudln't take much away from the Crucible, considering there's only two of each respectively, and the Fireslinger is a great enabler for the Furyborn when it decides to rear its ugly head. The Assassins are decent low mana creatures, but their issue is that their mana cost includes two Swamps, as opposed to 2B. This makes it harder to play in a mana curve unless you have more dual lands or pain lands.

All my duel lands are pack pulled and those are all the B/R duel lands I have. I still collect them so when ever I pull a R/B land I will add it.

No singles dealers around you? That's a real shame, now I understand.
