Post IKO Release —May 15, 2020
It's been more than a year since the last significant change in this deck, which doesn't mean I'm not keeping it updated. It just has become a lot harder for me to cut cards when I'm satisfied with most of them. That being said, there are some changes after Ikoria's release. The Ikoria cards I've not grabbed yet, but it's just a matter of time before I actually do. The most obvious change is the Triome lands. I've run the wedge taplands since the beginning of this deck because they were included in the precon, I just was too lazy to swap them for check lands or something else. With the printing of the Triome lands (which will of course replace the wedge taplands), I intend to swap 3 of my allied shock lands + 2 basics for the 5 allied check lands. Someone on reddit was kind enough to do the math for me and it seems better, plus I'll be able to invest the sold shock lands money into something else. Another card from Ikoria relevant to our spawning Dragons gameplan is Footfall Crater. Giving haste for really is good enough. Trample is a nice addition, but cycling really sells it for me. Finally, maybe I'll decide to swap one removal for Mythos of Nethroi. Onto the cards that I have acquired since M20, I grabbed a Golos, Tireless Pilgrim for ramp and cheating card, which I swapped for an Island for the moment. Morophon, the Boundless from Modern Horizon, technically a Dragon, is a fine addition to the deck, especially coupled with cards like Urza's Incubator. And most importantly, praise be to Mystery Boosters, for Scourge of the Throne's price dramatically dropped and I was able to get myself one, completing the essential Dragon package.

What about Ugin the spirit dragon? He is... well, a dragon after all! And a powerful Planeswalker!

DonaldFuck True, but there's no synergy with Dragons and the card is too pricey, and I'm not talking CMC.

I've got a dragon tribal build myself, running The Ur-Dragon as the commander. Loads of fun to play.
For the same reason you run Primevals' Glorious Rebirth , you should consider running Urza's Ruinous Blast as another almost one-sided board wipe option.

Smothering Tithe is insane in commander. I suggest finding space for it. Dragon Broodmother is also a dragon that demands attention. It combined with Dromoka, the Eternal / Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury can do 100's of damage with all those pumped up baby dragons. Its just lots of attack triggers which dragons love.

bushido_man96 I don't know, I'm not really of fan of this one. I do have to add some board wipes in there and I'll consider the blast but I'm not really a fan.
DraknozI do like the tithe but I have a few things to tweak first before finding some place for it. Dragon Broodmother on the other hand I have ordered and waiting to receive!

What about Dragonlord's Servant or Dragonspeaker Shaman to help reduce the dragon casting cost

IGOTURPACKAGE to free some slots I'd say. With The Ur-Dragon
, dragon spell already cost less to cast, I've had game where I had too many less to cast and it was redundant. I'd rather focus on coloured ramp.

Rapifessor Thanks ! Keep in mind that some cards remain sub-par and are still there because I have yet to acquire some others. If you need help on which cards should be picked over others feel free to contact me !
Considered, yes. I haven't put much thought into it but as I'm writing this comment, 1/5 of the cards are in the guild colors. On one hand I really like this card and I'd replace O-Kagachi just to make it fit, on the the other hand hitting just the right non-guild card and having to put it on the bottom of the library would feel pretty bad.
