Another casual tribal deck by yours truly!

You're walking in the woods
There's no one around you and your phone is dead
Out of the corner of your eye, you spot it

Predator Dragon

It's following you, 'bout thirty feet back
It gets down on all fours and breaks into a sprint
It's gaining on you!

Predator Dragon

You're looking for your horse, but you're all turned around
It's almost upon you now, and you can see there's blood on its face
My God, there's blood everywhere!

Running for your life from Predator Dragon
It's brandishing its claws, it's Predator Dragon
Lurking in the shadows, Dominaria superstar Predator Dragon
Living in the woods, Predator Dragon
Killing for sport, Predator Dragon
Eating all the babies, actual cannibal Predator Dragon

Your early game should be focused on getting as much mana as possible and living long enough in order to bring out your dragons. Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to attack later. For now, make sure you have as many walls up to protect you, which is the job for Overgrown Battlement and Wall of Tanglecord, the former of which is used for ramping as well.

As for mana, you should always strive to have a Birds of Paradise up in the first turn, or close to. Use Growth Spasm and Rampant Growth to get the lands you need. Speaking of lands, the expensive Copperline Gorge, Karplusan Forest, and Rootbound Crag should ensure that you should always have the coloured mana you need.

So, you've got your mana up, it's time to bring out dragons! This deck features two main stars: Dragon Broodmother + Predator Dragon .

First, you've got the Dragon Broodmother. Once she's out, you'll be drowning in 1/1 Dragon babies in no time (even better if you have multiple). The key here is to start abusing the Devour 2 of your dragons. Never eat the broodmother as she's the one who's spawning babies, but your walls and Birds of Paradise are now simply fodder. Keep at it and soon you'll have an army of not-so-small baby dragons.

The other star is Predator Dragon. It comes in as a 4/4 with Flying and Haste, so it's already quite the threat. However, with Devour 2 as well, you should always strive to have it come in eating some of your walls (not all of them since creature destruction and bounces are still tricky). If you have a Dragon Broodmother as well, make sure your Predator Dragon comes in eating all your babies since they're expendable.

Don't worry about eating your creatures; that's the whole purpose of this deck. If you eat two 1/1 creatures or walls, your dragon babies become 5/5 Flying monsters, or your Predator Dragon is an 8/8 thread with Flying and Haste.

Beast Within is not there for your own creatures, but for the opponents'. In the case where a threat arises that can rival one of your dragons, turning it into a 3/3 Beast might be much easier to deal with.

Bioshift can be there to either respond to the opponent destroying or bouncing a creature with counters, thus "saving" those counters, or to make an incoming threat even more powerful.

Hellkite Charger and Rorix Bladewing are there, honestly, simply to put some variation into the deck. You can use them as secondary threats aside your Predator Dragons and Dragon Babies.

Finally, what dragon-themed deck would be incomplete without Sarkhan Vol?
