Win cons

Your primary win con is to ping your opponents to death with Dragon Tempest, Terror of the Peaks, Scourge of Valkas and/or Warstorm Surge everytime one of your dragons (primarily Dragon Spirit and other tokens) enters the battlefield. You can cheat out the dragons with Defense of the Heart, Lurking Predators (top deck manipulation with Sylvan Tutor and Worldly Tutor), Pattern of Rebirth, Descendants' Path (top deck manipulation), Kindred Summons(gameending mass etb of dragons) and Genesis Wave(hopefully gameending mass etb of dragons).

Additionally you can blast your opponents with a combination of Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients and Brash Taunter utilizing either or both Gratuitous Violence and Fiery Emancipation: Brash Taunter fights Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients who deals double / triple damage to Brash Taunter who then blasts an opponent for double / triple of the damage dealt to him. If you also have a Fiendlash equipped to Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients you get to fire another ping for twice / triple the power of Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients. You will also produce another Dragon Spirit token in the process, which might grant you more pings with the cards mentioned above.

There is an infinite Combo with either Darksteel Plate, Tyrite Sanctum (a bit slow) or Heroic Intervention to make Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients indestructible and 2 of the above mentioned pingers. When Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients cant be destroyed and you have 2 pings to fire on every etb of a Dragon Spirit Token you can send one ping to enrage Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients and one into an opponents face. Rinse and repeat.

And of course, we are still playing a dragon deck after all, you can also just punsh your opponents to death with Big Dragons and/or Commander Damage:

• Garruk's Uprising and Kessig Wolf Run give trample, while the latter also pumps up one creature.
• Anger, Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded, Xenagos, God of Revels give haste, while the latter also pumps up one creature (Haste primarily used to instantly use Endbringer, Brash Taunter etc.).

Other usefull tricks and combos

• Greater Good lets you sac your Dragon Spirit Tokens in response to them triggering to be sacrificed to draw cards.
• Pyrohemia lets you enrage Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients for c:r (be carefull not to kill him).
• Marauding Raptor and AEther Flash enrage Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients on etb (dont have both out together though, or youll kill Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients and his Tokens on etb).
• You can let Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients force fight opponents creatures with, for example, Ulvenwald Tracker to remove threats and/or create more Dragon Spirit Tokens.
• You draw cards off of Garruk's Uprising and Elemental Bond on every etb of one of your Dragon spirit Tokens (and all other dragons and dragon tokens, except the unfed ones from Dragon Broodmother).
• AEther Flash also is a hard counter to most token decks.
• Strionic Resonator can copy all your triggers!
• Having a large number of dragons on the board is crucial (Gaea's Cradle, Dragon Tempest, Scourge of Valkas, Kindred Summons), so dont waste Heroic Intervention or Wrap in Vigor and allways keep the mana up when youve assembled a nice board.
• Endbringer untaps during each players untap step, which allows you to enrage Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients at the end of every players turn.
• Goblin Sharpshooter only untaps when a creature dies, so you want to combine him with a pinger. Enrage Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients with Goblin Sharpshooter and kill a creature with the ping of the token etb. Rinse and repeat (be carefull not to accidentally kill Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients).
• Tireless Provisioner works very well with ramp spells.

Ramping Words

Besides that, its a green deck, it does green stuff like ramp, ramp more and sometimes it even ramps. Note: When ramping with Nature's Lore for example, and you dont need the mana, get a dual forest that allways comes in tapped like Highland Forest, you might want the untapped later.
