Looking for suggestions on a mono Red dragon deck for a budget. I have a new player that wants to play dragons. He also wants to play Chandra in his deck as a one of (he just likes her). Budget meaning hopefully I can build it for $20ish. I appreciate all the help.
I'm putting together something similar but more ramping. I use pyretic ritual, desperate ritual and geosurge, in the hope of putting out a 7-drop dragon as early as turn 2 with a nutdraw, altough turn 3 is more likely.

It's really hard to make a budget dragon deck work at 20$. Here's mine, it's ~40$ and build heavily on synergy (similar to the deck from amicdeep) and nuking opponents creatures:
Could easily replace the slumbering dragon's with something like Dragonmaster Outcast, as it is a blocker early and provides value late. Likely need more land or more mana rocks, but Comments/suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Not trying to be nit-picky but I absolutely despise starting decks with something like 4x Dragonlord's Servant and 4x Slagstorm because it creates infinite "feel bad" draws where it's lose-lose no matter what you do. In that sense I would rather see the Servant become a rock (literally any rock) or the Storms become things like Earthquake, Sudden Demise, Pyroclasm, Mizzium Mortars, etc.
The mana seems fine. 22x Land 4x "Fire Diamond" and 4x Worn Powerstone is still ~32 sources (Powerstone is ~1.5) which is more than enough for this style of deck.
Does it have to be mono-red?
Because Khans block gave us a heap of fantastic budget multicoloured dragons that would have a field-day. Atarka, World Render being chief among them.
Like 4x Humble Defector and 2x Loxodon Warhammer?
Or any other alternative you prefer. I must be really under a lot of pressure before I omit either effect...

My meta: 3 or 4 player free for all, anything goes but boring games or broken decks cause a vote to end that game.
