[Getting back into mtg, looking for help to update my favorite casual dragon deck :)]

My casual spin on a Gruul devotion/creature deck with dragons! I really tried to make this deck versatile for both 1v1 match ups and two-headed giant. It has a few win cons, not including just smashing face with creatures. It can either be very aggressive early game, or mana ramp for huge creatures to then finish them with Flesh / Blood or mana ramp for a massive Banefire. Thoughts, suggestions, and +1 always appreciated :)

Thunderbreak Regent : In my opinion, one the best cards in the dragon of tarkir set. 4/4 flyer is already good, but its ability is what makes it great. Anytime dragon is targeted opponent is dealt 3 damage. If you have all 4 out that's 12 straight damage. This card goes nicely while running 7 dragons.

Shockmaw Dragon + Bow of Nylea : this is my board clear. Your opponent has to respond to this combo and it has gotten me out of some tight spots.

Shaman of the Great Hunt : Keeps the dream alive. most creatures in this deck are 4 power or greater, which makes the card draw ferocious mechanic very useful. You can get him out turn 3 and be aggressive, or you can utilize him for card draw. Makes a great flex pick

Xenagos, God of Revels : Its super easy to get enough devotion in this deck. The indestructible is nice, but his haste + doubling power effect is what makes him really make this deck shine. If he's out with Atarka, World Render its over.

Primordial Hydra : another win con. Has to be dealt with or it becomes insane. If you have enough time and protect it with Vines of Vastwood you can Flesh / Blood for some ridiculous damage. I've one shot lifelink decks before. Its pretty entertaining.

Banefire : Would probably side in more against a blue deck. Can't be countered and in this devotion mana ramp deck, can dish out tons of direct damage.

Kessig Wolf Run Can either be used in the obvious direct approach for combat, giving creatures trample, or in the more indirect approach, ramping the power up of a creature and then playing an unexpected Flesh / Blood to finish.

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx because the devotion mana ramp is real

Xenagos, the Reveler : the ramp is strong with this one. Really speeds up the deck and creates tons of ramp in this creature devotion deck
