Hey looking for some feed back on this deck, it's a budget deck and relatively fun to play but what are some good cards to add as I don't have a side board yet.
Main-Deck List:
1 Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker (Planeswalker, Mythic Rare)1 Atarka, World Render (Rare)1 Archwing Dragon (Rare)1 Crucible of Fire (Rare)1 Dragon Tempest (Rare)1 Foe-Razer Regent (Rare)3 Frontier Siege (Rare)1 Guild Feud (Rare)1 Ulvenwald Tracker (Rare)2 Setessan Tactics (Rare)1 Hunted Dragon (Rare)1 Siege Dragon (Rare)1 Harbinger of the Hunt (Rare)
1 Lightning Shrieker3 Greenweaver Druid1 Destructor Dragon4 Llanowar Elves2 Savage Ventmaw4 Voyaging Satyr4 Sarkhan's Triumph3 Bathe in Dragonfire4 Rugged Highlands
I agree with Bulldawg1310, I would recommend running far fewer one-ofs. Also, it would be helpful if you would link to a deck, rather than posting individual cards - it's a lot easier to read. If you do decide to go that route, feel free to comment on my profile, and I can give some more detailed feedback if you'd like.

Yeah, you definitely need more 4-ofs, especially mana ramp. 4 Lightning Bolts is probably the most obvious thing to add in after that.
I'd also suggest Stormbreath Dragon, Thunderbreak Regent, and Thundermaw Hellkite. 4 of each (if you can) will go a long way.
You might also want to lower the mana costs on your mana ramp. Llanowar Elves is good, and you have that. Search for Tomorrow, Sakura-Tribe Elder, and Arbor Elf + Utopia Sprawl/Fertile Ground/Overgrowth can go a long way as well. Arbor Elf also works in conjunction with Cinder Glade and Stomping Ground.
I've been thinking about R/G Dragons for a while now, just been waiting on the prices of some cards to come down. I think if you're on an unlimited budget, the list to play is something like:
1x Cinder Glade
9x Forest
1x Kessig Wolf Run
3x Mountain
1x Red fetchland
4x Stomping Ground
4x Wooded Foothills
-------------------------------------------
23 Lands
4x Stormbreath Dragon
4x Thunderbreak Regent
4x Thundermaw Hellkite
-------------------------------------------
12 Creatures
4x Anger of the Gods
4x Pyroclasm
4x Search for Tomorrow
3x Blood Moon
4x Utopia Sprawl
1x Chandra, Flamecaller
1x Garruk, Primal Hunter / green planeswalker
4x Lightning Bolt
-------------------------------------------
25 Other Spells
1x Blood Moon
2x Choke
1x Crumble to Dust
3x Destructive Revelry
1x Molten Rain
3x Obstinate Baloth
1x Shatterstorm
2x Thragtusk
1x Thrun, the Last Troll

You spend the first couple of turns ramping up and board wiping your opponents' threats, then finish them off with hasty dragons that are hard to remove.

You are running waaaaay too many one ofs, youre gonna want consistency with a deck like this, also, with dragons being very powerful but very prone to removal, youre gonna wanna get in ASA they ETB. That means 4 Dragon Tempests, and 3-4 each of semi low cmc dragons ie Thunderbreak Regent 4 Dragonlord's Servant should also help. Wouldnt hurt throwing Sarkhan Vol in the mix and then maybe a Domri Rade
