My first EDH deck, of all my decks this one is the most aggro. Formerly the Rakdos color scheme, it was recently converted to Jund to help speed things up. Also since I hold a lot of attachment to this deck, I have foiled it out as best I can to ensure this deck's survival for as long as I may play :D

Strengths: Dragons are obviously difficult to deal with, most have good P/T and can be quick to win the game for you if your opponents don't keep your board in check. There are also some good combos to enjoy should you find them.

Weaknesses: Back when this was still in the Rakdos scheme this was a very slow deck. Now that green has been incorporated the pace picked up a little. However, it's still a slow deck, because Dragons aren't cheap. You're very susceptible to counters and board wipes. Token gen aggro decks may be able to get an early jump on you too.

COMBOS:

--(Infinite) Bear Umbra enchanted onto Hellkite Charger for infinite attack phases. I'm personally not a fan of infinite combos, but in my playgroup everyone seems to have at least one deck with an infinite combo, so I had to level the playing field.

-- Descent of the Dragons followed by Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund is a nice one to get very quick board state and inflict a great deal of damage.

-- Scourge of Valkas and/or Dragon Tempest paired with Dragon Broodmother is sick because you're assigning damage at everyone's upkeep due to a dragon entering the battlefield. If you have both Valkas and Tempest out that will double it.

Suggestions

Updates Add

They said tribal dragons couldn't be Tier 1...challenge accepted. I've added cards to get dragons out not only cheaper than their CMC, but also during other people's turns. Adding the Quicksilver Amulet and Belbe's Portal will ensure that. While I am sad to see my Urza's incubator go, there will be another home for it someday.

In addition to those two, an Exploration has been added to get lands out faster, Greater Good for draw power, and Sneak Attack for added power. Don't worry about Dragon's hitting the graveyard, a simple Living Death will bring them all back.
