Y u no Bogardan Hellkite?

Nice, I had a Dragonstorm deck but it turned into this:

http://www.mtgvault.com/pjoshea/decks/burning-millstorm-2/

I added all the cards to my sideboard that I would swap out to add Dragonstorm to it...

Sorry I should've clarified the way the deck is set up now is not maximizing the potential of green that is splashed into the deck. But in all reality most Dragon decks are not Mono Red but have B, G, or even U splashed into them, But yeah lands would definitely help the deck a lot. I agree with your sentiment, Lands are a safer bet than rituals or mana producing creatures. Either way I hope these helped you with your deck difficulties!

Deck looks solid, the only other dragon I'd add would be Thundermaw Hellkite cuz it works well with Reanimate, If you decide to use it, as it's a 5 drop. It also causes all opponents creatures with flying to take 1 damage and tap, so it clears the way for the your dragons to attack. But I really like the deck it's a sweet idea!

Dirty Deck, looks like it'd be quite nasty to play against. I remember getting steamrolled by a guy with a reanimation deck when I first started playing magic, it was kinda embarassing :P . The only thing I saw in his that may work in this deck is Stitch Togeather, but either way I know I'd love to play against it!

So here is what I think I'd drop green out of this deck completely. Since you're splashing it in the deck it really doesn't help. I'd go completely mono red. Also I'd drop the devour dragons (Broodmother and Voracious Dragon) your deck isn't really suited for it. And I would add more dragons, you are missing out on some great ones like Thundermaw Hellkite, Utvara Hellkite, Bogardan Hellkite, ect. So this is what I would personally change:

Things I'd Drop:
-3 Dragon Broodmother (Because of devour and green in the CMC)
-1 Dragonspeaker Shaman (In reality you only need one out a game, more than that clutters up the field and causes your overall strategy to slow down)
-3 Voracious Dragon (Cuz of devour)
-1 Scourge of Valkas (MIx up with some other 5 drops)
-4 Destrutive revelry (No green)
-4 Cultivate (no green)
-4 Increasing savagery (this one because you only have 8 out of 20 lands that produce green mana so even if you kept the deck the same you wouldn't really ever be able to cast it unless you got lucky.)
-4 Khalani Garden (no green)
-4 Rootbound Craig

So that's everything I'd take out... Now i'll drop a list of good cards I think could replace em' but I'll ;eave everything after that too you.

Things I'd add:
Thundermaw Hellkite (OP 5 drop, comes out as a 5/5 with haste and it does one damage and taps all opponents creatures with flying.)
Utvara hellkite (Expensive 8 drop but it creates a 6/6 dragon token for each dragon you control thats attacking, it's a game ender.)
Balefire Dragon (Nuff said)
Furyborn Hellkite (7 drop that has bloodthirst 6, can come into play with 6 +1/+1 counters on it if an opponent took damagee this turn)
KIlnmouth Dragon (7 Drop when it comes into play for each dragon card you reveal from your hand it gets 3 +1/+1 counters.)
Geosurge (Cost 4 Red Mana but it gives you 7 red mana to spend on creatures)
Lightning Bolt (For the early game, when your deck is kinda slow)
Rite of flames (one red to 2 red mana it also gives you one red mana fro each rite of flames in any graveyard)
Pyretic/Desperate ritual (2 to 3 red mana)
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx ( dragons have 2 to 3 Red mana in their casting cost.... it can make this card worthit very quickly)
Valakut, The Molten Pinnacle (when you control 5 or more mountains and a mountain enters the battlefield under your control you may have valakut do 3 damage to target player)

So that's my recomendation for your deck. Dragon decks tend to be slow, so the faster you make it the better you will do. If you really want to go Red/Green on the deck I'll show you a few of my dragon decks

Small Dragons that I beef up hit with then fling for damage:

My original dragon deck evolved into this fatty deck:

Hope this helped!

Diggin the deck, ever consider trading Elvish Visionary for Overgrown Battlement or similiar card, you know work some defender synergy in there? Food for thought.... Either way I already liked the deck

I would recommend swapping some tribute creatures out for Heroic, like Satyr Hoplite or Akrosan Crusader. Also look at some of the cards from Khans with Prowess like Monastery Swiftspear. Those cards react and have synergy when paired with stat boosting instants and sorceries. I'd also throw a little burn in there as a pseudo creature control, and something that would protect your creatures like Mortal's Resolve. Other than that your best bet is to play test it against a bunch of different decks (Control decks, Creature decks, Burn Decks, ect.) and keep tweeking it based on what you find. A good deck takes a while to develope, it doesn't happen overnight. Also as a final note I'd look at experimenting with other win conditions and adding more diversity too your deck. You want it to be flexible to deal with a variety of decks but not too diverse that it weakens your ability to win or muddle your ability to run your engine(your main deck idea).

Also you have two copies of Reliquary Tower, but other than those two little issue's the deck looks like it would be fun to play against!

Ha, the name is a key component in any good deck. I know I still have a few decks that are completely done but I still need to think of a good name before I can concede that they are finished.

Yes it does, I didn't catch that one, so I'd drop that to 3 or 2.... just so you don't get it stuck in your hand. I would put a full set of Urza tron then put a few fetch and pain lands in to balance the land draw out... Also maybe throw in some Myr's that produce mana to throw in a little more balance aka Silver and Gold Myr... But other than that I would just mess around with the deck until you find something that works for you and compliments your playing style.

Yeah you can only have 4 copies of each card in a deck except for Basic lands, so non-basic lands fall under this catagory. As for if you should drop Cathedral Membrane for Stoneforge Mystic, I would say go for it because you only have two copies of the card. So you have to think it won't come out that often and which would benifite you deck more. Also I saw you have Herbal Poultice I would swap it out for welding JAr, also a 0 drop but you don't have to pay 3 to regenerate and you can regenerate any artifact but only artifacts.

Distortion Strike is a nice little addition, give one of your creatures +1/+0 and unblockable, also has rebound.

Hmmmm, Well since you have 4 Demonic Tutors in here I'm going to assume that this'll be more of a casual deck. So I would recomend Sol Ring, cuz 1 colorless for a tap for 2 artifact is just broken, and will help speed up your early game. For casting Blightsteel Colossus I would recomend Mycosynth Golem since all your creatures are artifacts. Then I would also add one of these two options, The first being a combo of Etherium Sculptor which lowers the cost of artifact spells by 1 colorless and Cheif Engineer which gives artifact spells you cast convoke. The second option being Urza-tron (Urza's Mine, Urza's Tower, and Urza's Power Plant) use that to ramp for days... But so far I like the deck! Good luck with it.

Also since your running all dragon creatures I'd throw in crucible of fire, all dragon creatures get +3/+3. It just got reprinted in m15

I did it on my deck..

Yeah, it's a don't fuck with me card, and the only other one drop that can really touch it is lightning bolt..... It'll give you a turn or two of safety....

Also Slumbering Dragon, The scariest one drop out there :P

Thundermaw Hellkite, and Balefire Dragon.... Both are some of the best dragons out there for a straight up dragon deck.

Just throw him in your sideboard, that way you have him if you need him but can also speed your deck up
