This deck's intent is to provide a newer player--new to Commander, new to Magic--a beginner deck they can use to play. At most this hopes to be an introduction to Commander through one of Magic's favorite tribes, Dragons! While there are a plethora of different dragon builds (possibly a dragon deck for every color combination), this deck will focus entirely on the mono-Red variety.

There's a ton of synergy available to mono-Red Dragons, since some of the best tribal cards for Dragons are all in Red-- Crucible of Fire , Scourge of Valkas , Utvara Hellkite , and plenty more. The only major downsides to playing mono-Red are access to mana and access to card draw. These problems haven't been ignored, but they will remain a problem moving forward with the deck. The good thing is this deck isn't meant to go up against tuned deck, so that will allow the pilot time to play some big dragons.

For some pseudo card draw and mana support, a few goblin cards have been included (as well as providing some low-cost defenders if needed). It's very possible other cards could be used in their place, so I'll be keeping an eye on it.

From what I've seen so far, the deck has performed admirably in a casual, beginner's environment, so I'm happy with the result. Cheers and best of luck! Enjoy!
