Thrakkus the Butcher seems to be card one would find useful in a dragon-themed deck :) Additional attacks through Hellkite Charger could also be fun when combined with Ureni. Savage Ventmaw can bring some additional mana to the table after attacking with it (also combined well with Charger's additional-attack ability). Hope your kid enjoys the deck!

Goblin Recruiter, perhaps?

Hellkite Charger always seems like a nice one to have, too. Especially with Old Gnawbone, Savage Ventmaw and to a lesser extent, Goldspan Dragon.

I like how you play Xenagos with smaller creatures and pump spells. Very aggro combat trick based deck, it's enjoyable. Here are some thoughts for cards under $5...

Creatures

Eternal Witness - Recursion is nice

Savage Ventmaw - Combo with aggravated assault or just value on it's own.

Siege Behemoth/Carnage Tyrant > Kodama - Kodama has shroud so you can't target it. Siege has hexproof so you can, and a relevant ability.

Misc

Greater Good - Best card in Xenagos, even with low stat creatures. Pump them up with commander, maybe even another pump spell and then you can sacrifice them in response to removal to get draw/virtual + actual card advantage, fill your GY, as well as preventing theft and exile!

Rancor - Reuseable cheap buff

Rishkar's Expertise - While not entirely serious given your set up, despite being risky, it can pack a pump. Refueling hand and adding tempo? Sign me up

Return of the Wildspeaker - Can be used as draw or buff. It is expensive for sure, but worth considering.

Three Visits > Rampant growth - Three visits can grab duel type forest/mountain lands

Speaking of lands, there are some potential lands I can show you should you wish. Looking forward to your response.

Sounds like an honest answer to me...

I stand by my beloved and deadly combo, which was to swing with Savage Ventmaw to float the mana. Then cast Howl of the Horde into See the Unwritten

Now you've already had combat for the turn, but if you build for ETB effects such as Warstorm Surge and Elemental Bond, things get really interesting, really fast...

So like I can't choose Savage Ventmaw because it doesn't have "Dragon" in it's name, but The Ur-Dragon would suffice?

NV_1980 definitely love Savage Ventmaw especially with Aggravated Assault Infinite mana and turns

This looks great! In order to not get mana-screwed on certain colors in a five-color deck, I think Chromatic Lantern, Prismatic Omen or Dryad of the Ilysian Grove could be good in here. I'd also say Savage Ventmaw synergizes well with some of what you seem to be aiming for (like infinite attacks).
