Unless you absolutely just want to stay on theme, which is fine, I have some considerations for you

Blast-Furnace Hellkite is expensive, but basically the best dragon, you've seen the horrors of Terror of Mount Velus as well, so consider at least one of them. Obsidian Charmaw is also amazing at punishing nonbasic land use.

Consider throwing in some more rituals in addition to Seething Song, for stormscale scion/dragonstorm. Its overpowered but Past in Flames and Underworld BreachGC can be absurd with that.

You have almost no draw. Some dragons can help with that, or there's always wheels

I'd dump Metallic Mimic in favor of Bloodline Pretender unless you really need the lord effect since he counts a dragon no matter what zone he is in. Taurean Mauler is also nuts.

Always consider Boompile and Nevinyrral's Disk in red. you dont have any other way to handle enchantments, and they help you survive to the late game, which is important when most of your stuff is very expensive and you dont happen to have your cost reducers.

Draconic Roar and Spit Flame really weak for commander in general. maybe look at Mizzium Mortars instead.

If sarkhan ever gets big enough to be a threat something like Two-Handed Axe , Temur Battle Rage , Rush of Blood, or Fatal Frenzy can be deadly

other card that i can change is Clan Defiance, i feel that is just too expensive to be usable the most of the times. I have to think what to put in those 3 spaces, maybe bringing back Draconic Roar

First off, if you are going for a more midrange-control type deck where you control the board before slamming down big haymakers, cards like Dragonlord's Servant and other ramp spells that aim to turbo out dragons faster don't actually fit well with the deck. I would cut all 3 copies and replace with more interaction.

Moonveil Regent is a dragon I really like, since it generates a ton of card advantage once you're in top decking mode (which most midrange decks aim to get to). Could maybe slot in 2.

You could potentially cut a land and go down to 22, if you need to. I also think that you should run fetches if you can afford them, along with a few utility lands.

Draconic Roar is cute and fits with the dragon theme, unfortunately it is strictly worse than Lightning Bolt in 99% of situations. I would go 4 Bolts.

I would also diversify your removal suite a bit. Unless artifacts are a huge problem in your meta, you could trim 1 K-Command and 1 Bloodchief's Thirst for 2 Terminates which is a good catch-all answer for bigger creatures (ahem murktide).

Inquisition of Kozilek if you need more discard spells.

For the sideboard, Hidetsugu Consumes All  ^Flip is a really strong card against a lot of decks, completely blowing out hammer and rhinos while also being strong against murktide, burn, random urza's saga decks, and even the occasional bogles deck.

Blood Moon is always an option in these kinds of decks, maindeck or sideboard.

Brotherhood's End is another sideboard boardwipe against artifact decks and aggro decks, much faster than Crux of Fate since you can sometimes lose before getting to 5 lands.

Some comments:

You have nowhere near enough lands, especially considering that you cut all your mana dorks. I'd go up to at least 21, probably 22.

Smoldering Egg  ^Flip is somewhat of a problem. You have Manamorphose to trigger it which is nice, but its a terrible card everywhere else. Weather the Storm will only trigger Egg once, because copies placed directly on the stack with storm do not count as being "cast". Sarkhan's Triumph is an overpriced tutor, and definitely not worth it since you don't really have a toolbox of dragons anyways.

If you decide to go this spellslinger dragons route (which sounds really cool, just difficult to pull off: I still really hope you go in this direction because it's a lot more unique) I would suggest adding the following dragons. Moonveil Regent draws you a lot of cards, and lets you keep finding gas to flip Smoldering Egg and then consistently trigger it. Plus it turns Manamorphose into free Ancestral Recall. Manaform Hellkite churns out a bunch of small hasty tokens and is more payoff from Manamorphose. Thunderbreak Regent is just a great dragon all around that I recommend you add even if you don't go the spellslinger route. Even if it gets removed you still hit them in the face.

Of course, we can't have too many dragons if you want to go this route, so I'd completely cut Dromoka and Lathliss. Both Leyline Tyrant and Terror of the Peaks are pretty good with the dragons I suggested. Leyline Tyrant + Moonveil Regent means you can collect a huge amount of red mana and keep slapping down spells. Terror of the Peaks + Manaform Hellkite means all your dragon tokens coming down either remove creatures or burn face. Between the two, I'd cut Leyline Tyrant first.

Lastly, we need a lot of instants and sorceries. Playests of Manamorphose, Bolt, and Ending are definitely a given. However, Draconic Roar seems pretty mediocre. Honestly, I can't think of many good instants and sorceries in naya colors for a midrange deck, so this would probably be the toughest part of building it. You could possibly drop white for blue and go the Murktide Route as suggested above.

Awesome build man! Draconic Roar is something I find to be a nice removal plus some face damage. Also Crux of Fate is nice board clear.

JabberJ3T on Dragons Unbroken

This deck is really cool! I love any good dragon deck and this is definitely one of them. Looking at the list I see that you have a Tarkir, but I do notice you have Draconic Roar, which is cool because you can bolt a creature and then throw some dmg at opponent's face. Just a suggestion but Dragon's Fire is very similar in answering creature (and planeswalker) threats. I know it doesn't allow for dmg straight to the opponent but you don't seem to have any other non dragon removal that hits big targets.

Hello aunru943,

Please see the below suggestions:

Dragonlord's Servant for dragon ramp.

Draconic Roar Shock to a creature and Lava Spike to the dome.

Crucible of Fire strongest lord effect that i know of.

Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer if you can afford him because his treasure ability can get you your dragon on turn 3.

Taurean Mauler: Acts as a 3 mana dragon that powers up as your opponent plays spells and powers up with Crucible of Fire.

Metallic Mimic a shapeshifter that powers up your dragons.

Realmwalker helps you play your dragons more consistently - if you want to play gruul.

Hope this helps.

Have you ever considered Coalition Relic? It can allow you to drop your higher end dragons earlier and is a pretty effective ramp strategy.

I also feel like Draconic Roar is solid here.
