In my best Kaiba impression- you're a third rate duelist using a FOURTH rate deck! it's not bad, I'm just joking. I like what you have here! If you want to push into bracket 4 territory I recommend the following:
-
lowering your overall mana curve. 2 drops are your best friend here for this reason, and having access to temur colors, in this kind of concept.. maybe:
- Sylvan Library
- Mirri's Guile
- Rhystic Study
.. all of these to get your draws and hand in a row. I see you've already taken up Three Visits so just increase your count of all those spells like Thirsting Roots and even Farseek to capitalize on that ramp capability. The newly released Temur Devotee is a nice committed mana-fixer.
Otherwise, consider lower cost removal spells such as Pongify and Rapid Hybridization, even Swan Song and Strix Serenade. The most efficient way to break into the higher bracket is to do things at their most efficient capability. In this case, you'll have tons of high cost dragons. Right? So use a formula. turn 1 dork, turn 2 ramp, etc., etc. whatever works for your playstyle. Just have one in mind!
The biggest issue your deck has is that you have next to NO one drop spells. Minion of the Mighty exists and so does Elvish Mystic, and Llanowar Elves. You absolutely need to make use of your first turn beyond just putting down a land and passing.
And if you are intent on holding up that one mana on your first and doing a land down, go - you HAVE to increase the number of instants you leave yourself access to. 6 simply is nowhere near enough. Arguably, more than 2 per hand is preferred. Stuff like Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile are so popular and effective because they can be used on that first turn. I mean, you might be a card down for it.. but it'd be better than sitting on your hands for the first turn.
I would recommend using that newly printed red dork that was at 2 mana, because I like your 2 mana package in green colors. The hard issue after wards is probably how much has to happen at 3 mana rather than happening at one mana. Consider stuff like Burgeoning, Exploration.
All of this to say I hope your deck building process is easier with the feedback, please feel free to reach out if you have questions- I happen to really like what you've acquired here and want to see you succeed. Good luck, and +1!

WAIT this deck is pretty old so you probably know this but just in case -- Tiamat doesn't work with Minion of the Mighty. Its dragon search requires you to cast it. The follow up turn to throwing it down would be amazing but alas ;( im sorry

Good question, Balaam__. You caught me not paying close enough attention. No, Minion of the Mighty is not a goblin, so please scratch that suggestion of mine.

Hmm, question kamarupa. Would Goblin Recruiter fetch Minion of the Mighty? Without looking up the rules, my gut says no because regardless of fantasy lore relations kobold ≠ goblin when it comes to reading the text on the card. If true, that diminishes its value, if only slightly. To be fair, I need to give this one a major tune up. Once it rotated out of standard I never gave it a second look, and I’m sure there’s much work to be done. I’ll add your suggestions to the maybeboard for when that time comes. As always, thanks for posting.

Hi! Fellow Zirilan of the claw enjoyer here.
I like your version, it's pretty different from mine. Love that Mudslide and Blazing Shoal :)
I was looking at your version and I have a couple questions:
1) Does Minion of the Mighty trigger often? I feel it would be pinged immediately.
2) What is Goblin Welder for exactly? What do you send to the graveyard in the best scenarios?
3) Do you get much juice out of Thornbite Staff, Rings of Brighthearth and Thousand-Year Elixir?? I've playtested them but paying for Zirilan's ability twice is rarely optimal/possible for me.
4) I'm confused by Madblind Mountain... What's the shuffle for? And is Lotus Vale also worth it? I feel like a regular snow mountain would be better for synergy effects.
5) How often can you use Crucible of Worlds without fetchlands?
That's it for the questions... But I have a recommendation too.
Try changing Mind's Eye for Dragon's Hoard. It worked for me since it's cheaper and more flexible, despite not drawing as much.
I'll check your angel and demon decks too. Super cool tribes and decks :)

Your deck is chaotic and all over the place. If your looking to be aggro you can't be adding like Ancient Copper Dragon or Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind without something like Minion of the Mighty to get them into play quickly. Alot of burn/aggro use cheap creatures like Monastery Swiftspear with prowess triggers with cheap spells like Lightning Bolt or Opt hope this helps

Very creative and original deck! Have you considered adding any cards that might help you find Minion of the Mighty, such as Adventurous Impulse?
