Dragons are my favorite IRL as well as in Magic. Mono red is pretty flavorful for dragons, and Zirilan of the Claw is better than Rorix Bladewing, I think we all can agree. Anyway, the main idea is to play dragons (an overwhelming amount of time at instant speed) and beat face with them as quickly as possible. This involves heavy artifact/Terrain Generator ramp, Dragonspeaker Shaman, Sneak Attack (which is ultra sick cuz it has a dragon friggin right there man how much excitement do I have it's a lot), and other such cards, as well as Reito Lantern, Phyrexian Altar, Tel-Jilad Stylus and Hoarding Dragon to support the support cards. Put that together with a little bit of creature control and a bunch of utility/beatyface dragons, and you've got yourself a deck.
This deck started with about 25 dragons in it, and I've taken them out in favor of utility pieces along the way. 15 still actually might be too many, but currently I use all of my dragons, albeit rarely for some.
Your missing my favorite dragon Hellkite Charger!! if you have 10 mana you can flash him in with your commander then take extra attack step. Even better with sneak attack:D

I really think you should take a look at Worldgorger Dragon. It's not one you'll want to cast very often, but using your commander to tutor him into play in response to somebody playing a wrath effect is a really useful trick.

I had Worldgorger in there, but my group doesn't play many wrath effects. However, my girl is building a Kemba rock kind of deck, so. Could be worth putting back in. Also he's not a very tasteful art IMO, so that's a thing too haha.
As for Hellkite Charger, I'll try him out again but I generally don't have that many dragons out at a time. Worth a test for a change of paradigm though, maybe I could hard cast them more often haha.

I say that as though it's perfectly polite to Mycosynth Lattice into Hellkite Tyrant, but I do that. To each his own, I suppose.
