Revision 5***

So I've been tinkering with this Atarka Dragon deck for a little while and have had some pretty spectacular results, but rest assured I know that it isn't, strictly speaking, very competitive. That said I'm having a lot of fun, and I'm trying to increase the power level of the deck.

Ways it tries to win: Smashy smash with Atarka to the face + Xenagos, God of Revels, Blazing Shoal, or Rush of Blood for lethal commander damage, spooky numbers of dragons from the various forms of tokens and general value for dragon beaters, augmented by some nifty ways to cheat them into play (Dragonstorm, Tooth and Nail, Defense of the Heart), and pseudo-infinite combats with Scourge of the Throne, Aggravated Assault + Savage Ventmaw (with a little Hellkite Charger spice to be thrown in there too).

I think right now my big focuses (foci? :S )are improving consistency, ensuring that I have enough card draw (might need Greater Good, and protecting muh dragons (i.e. Asceticism and Bear Umbra). Previously I had some sub-par board wipes. For flavour purposes, as well as preserving my own creatures, I changed to Earthquake and Subterranean Tremors.

Open to suggestions including all of the above, better forms of ramp, objectively better card swaps, lands that won't totally break the bank (assuming I have enough land, I tried to take ~40 and decreased it per cheap mana rock/ramp, not sure if that's the right way to do things), and so on.

Thanks all!
