Tested at LGS! —Aug. 20, 2017

I played three games with this deck and I was nervous about the mana base due to me mostly just slapping it together. To my surprise, it worked rather well. I went 2-1 with this deck and put out several dragons before winning outright. Some issues I did find is my lack of responses to non-creature spells, so I am adding Stubborn Denial and Swan Song into the deck to stop the most oppressive of those spells. I also saw that the lack of lifegain and very little pillow fort cards made it easy to swing at me. Ghostly Prison is entering the mainboard and possibly Propaganda if need be. Additionally, I would like to keep the dragon count to at least 20 dragons and probably no more than 25. Here are a list of the changes made:

Additions:

Whip of Erebos: Life gain is important, especially when your running as many shocks as this deck is running.

Courser of Kruphix: Lifegain and Land grab help. The GG is a concern. It will be on watch.

Surrak Dragonclaw: An additional anti-blue card that is mostly in here for the trample.

Teneb, the Harvester: Recursion is vital at times and a 6/6 with a mana ability that can gain you another dragon is always welcomed.

Dragonlord Kolaghan: haste on a stick is great! Haste on a 6/5 dragon is golden. ;)

Authority of the Consuls: opposing early attacks while gaining life from those creatures an opponent plays is helpful, especially if the deck has a slow start.

Ghostly Prison: oppressing the opponents has to happen.

Stubborn Denial, Swan Song: Countering the important spells, period.

Green Sun's Zenith: a strong tutor that gets those important green creatures down early.

Removed:

Commander's Sphere: Looking in another direction with my ramp package.

Territorial Hellkite, Thunderbreak Regent and Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury: All three were removed for not providing enough to the overall function and direction of the deck. thankfully, they don't hurt the wallet too much so, it was an easy move to make.

Thalia, Guardian of Thraben: moving to the sideboard for more 1 v 1 matchups that look to control the board-state more.

Elemental Bond: I feel I have enough draw and this enchantment just doesn't provide enough.

Crucible of Fire: cute card, but the dragons in this deck are big enough for me.

Terminate: Switching out for counter spells instead.

Sarkhan Vol: A tough choice, but I feel the life gain from Whip of Erebos was better for the deck as a whole.
