I'd say a few cards that would go well in your deck would be Fist of Suns then also a 3 card combo Hellkite Charger, Savage Ventmaw and Heartstone will make infinite combat phases

Cinder_Kitten oh wow, I have those cards laying around but never thought about that exact combo. That is intriguing, thanks for the suggestions! I will try it out, but i'd be a little hesitant to mainboard Heartstone since I don't have too many dragons that could make use of it.

I understand that completely. It definitely isn't something most people would mainboard. I have it in my Atarka deck since it's definitely a combo that most wouldn't expect so it tends to actually go off.

Aggravated Assault + Savage Ventmaw is the more streamlined version of that combo. If you can get your hands on a Doubling Season, it immediately breaks Sarkhan Unbroken. Dragonlord Kolaghan will give them haste so you can swing right away and avoid a board wipe. I would also recommend a Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund for haste and bonus dragons.

Wicked_N_Irish, thanks for the suggestions! Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund would be a great add. Doubling Season is a rough price for a single card. What do you think about the new Dominaria card that works for planeswalkers, Oath of Teferi?

It's really good, but Doubling Season is usually an instant win if it's out when you play Sarkhan Unbroken. He hits the battlefield with 8 loyalty counters instead of 4, allowing you to get ALL of your dragons out on the battlefield (with haste from DL Kolaghan), which is often enough to kill the table. Beware of Containment Priest or Disallow, as those are effects that can stop you dead in your tracks.

I took a look at this deck and I have four ideas for this deck: Favorable Winds, Wild Pair, Where Ancients Tread and Quicksilver Amulet. I especially advise Wild Pair because it ensures your dragons come in doubly swift. You have your Ryusei come in with Kokusho at his side. One dragon comes in with a friend.

Ravenrose, thanks for the suggestions. At one point I had quicksilver, but I took it out for more dragons. I still have some cheaty cards in, but sometimes playing a dragon straight up is just as useful instead of the investment into a card like quicksilver imo. Wild Pair acts kind of like Lurking Predators and Favorable Winds I could see as useful. Where Ancients Tread looks fun for some good removal/burn along with most of the dragons.

Hi,

I would really recommend Prismatic Omen in any 5-color deck; works great as a redundancy of Chromatic Lantern. Also, some of your artifacts/enchantments really help to tip the balance of games in your favor, so I'd recommend adding tutors for these like Enlightened Tutor and/or Idyllic Tutor. I know these are expensive cards, so if you're on a budget than just ignore my suggestions :)

Regards,

NV_1980, thanks for the suggestions! Sorry for the late response. These look fun, i'll look into them.

Wild Pair is good for tutoring and cheating out dragons.

Only two cards I could suggest that came to mind are Urza's Incubator and Door of Destinies.
