I'm having a little trouble maximizing this deck.
I have won using this deck, but most of the time it's so slow but is great late game, if I can survive that long.
Sadly there just isn't a way to make this deck all that good in my experience. You can steal a win from time to time, but you basically have to survive until at least turn 5 or 6 to even get a real threat on the board. I avoid the Devour creatures and cut the dragon fodders, and try to play the dragonspeaker shamans timed just before I'm able to drop a dragon.
It's a different approach than mine, but hopefully some of this will help. The article is very down on the Dragonspeaker Shamans, but IMO its the only way to ramp into your dragons fast enough to have a chance to win with them.
Ok, so I'm not the only one who thinks this isn't that great of a deck lol
I pretty much unlocked all the cards from all the other decks (excluding the expansion) and the Dracomancer deck is just blah. The dragon deck in previous DOTP wasn't this slow/bad.
I'll take a look at that article. Only a few more wins to fully unlock this deck anyway.
Between the 4 Dragonspeaker Shaman, 4 Cultivate, 4 Borderland Ranger, and 2 Explosive Vegetation I found it almost plays like a Ramp deck. Stall with Dragon Fodder, the Thallid, Maelstrom Pulse, and anything else you can while you build up to 6 mana. At that point, all you have to do is resolve and protect a single Dragon Broodmother/Flameblast Dragon/Form of the Dragon/Hellkite Overlord and win.
Basically, if you want to open packs to get cards for Standard and Modern, the simpler approach is to just buy all the singles you need and then set some money on fire to make up the difference.

Anyone have any good decklists they're using?

If you haven't seen it, there is a great article on the deck here: http://www.toptiertactics.com/19196/magic-2014-enter-the-dracomancer-deck-guide/

Good luck!
