This deck is meant to be a focused deck, a Dragon tribal beatdown deck, I know that the theme itself is not strong, but I want to build it as strong as it can be.
Because you want the Timmy in you bath in the joy of playing big flying beaters fast
Because your playgroup its just too competitive and plentiful of fast decks that can win at T4-6
While reading the stats please note that sometimes one single card acts as two or more effects
I priorate versatile cards so many of my cards will serve more than one purpose, thats why I will count one card as two in some cases, for example The Great Henge is considered draw and ramp
Card draw : 10
Spot removal : 3 (plus 5 conditional removals like Terror of the Peaks )
Mass removal : 1 (plus 3 conditionals like Balefire Dragon )
Mana Cheat : 3
Mana acceleration : 10 (plus 6 conditionals such as Zendikar Resurgent )
Tutors : 2
Protection : 3
Removing some stuff
We have a lot of things going on on our table and we have really not many spots for interaction with our opponent's plan, for that case I value flexible removal but strong effects such as Path to Exile : Because is cheap and exiles Utter End : Because is the more flexible removal (to be replaced for Anguished Unmaking ) Boros Charm : I will use this as removal only as a very last resort, I have it here mostly for indestructibility
We have some other creatures spot removal on our own dragons, like Scourge of Valkas and others, we also have some spot permanents removal on Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire and so
Drawing cards is fun
I value versatile cards, so in this deck there is no card that says pay and just draw cards, I need more value for my mana, the best cards are:
Zendikar Resurgent : Really mana expensive but, if it survives a turn, a mana doubler and card draw (Pretty greedy I know).
Temur Ascendancy : Except for my 3 shamans and the Sakura, every other creature is 4+ so is great and this deck wants to get as many haste enablers as it can, so this card fulfils both needs.
The Great Henge : Ramp, Buff and card draw in a single card that can be even cast for . yes please
There are plenty more of card draw but this are the top 3
Ramp (where are my rocks at?)
We use the usual suspects in green like Rampant Growth , but we have some ramp for dragons like Urza's Incubator , Dragonspeaker Shaman , Herald's horn and Dragonlord's Servant that added with the of mana reduction form our commander they sum up to 7 mana, real great (very unrealistic case to have all of them but cool stuff)
There are some niche 'ramp' cards that I called it ramp but I am stretching a lot the concept, I am talking about Fist of Suns , Ramos, Dragon Engine , Morophon, the Boundless that are all powerhouses that can accelerate our mana but will depend on some stuff
Not sure if you're looking for suggestions, if not disregard. I've never really been a big fan of any of the Dragonlord cycle, excluding Dragonlord Dromoka for it's Grand Abolisher-eske control implications. DL Atarka isn't that great for removal purposes in my list I run Warstorm Surge which can end games with some of the other Dragonstaples, and it is cheaper. I guess DL Kolaghan is meta specific, but I never saw the appeal personally. Your Dragon Tempest fulfills that haste enabling well, and as a damage outlet.
Palladia-Mors, the Ruiner is a very odd dragon, and is really just a keyword soup kinda card. I think you have tons of beat sticks in the deck, it just seems kinda vanilla IMO. I think you could use Mirror of the Forebears or Mirage Mirror to double up on the great ETB synergy of the deck.

I am not a fan also of Palladia-Mors, the Ruiner, as you well said, I probably will be replacing it for Dromoka, every other of your suggestions are also great, I love Mirage Mirror, Garruk's Uprising, and Warstorm Surge, The problem I have right now is basically that I am unsure on what to cut for those in, DL Atarka is a posible 1 spot free, but then.. I still need more spots

Well Palladia-Mars is one, why are you running Dragonlord Kolaghan? Just curious.

Tutoring for dragons
I have only one tutor Sarkhan's Triumph which is the best for this deck, we can also consider Scion of the Ur-Dragon a tutor
Ramp (where are my rocks at?)

Garruk's Uprising can run parallel to Elemental Bond seeing as your average Power is probably higher than 4.
Just a couple of suggestions.
(W/U)(B/R)GForm of Progenitus, Shape of a Scrubland
BRGJund Tokens with Prossh, the Magic Dragon Foil
URGAnimar, the RUG CleanerFoil
RRRFeldon of the Third Path 2.0 Foil
BG(B/G)Not Another Meren DeckFoil
UR(U/R)Mizzix, Y Control and X Burn Spells
(W/U)(B/R)GHarold Ramos - The 35 Foot Long Twinkie (In +1/+1 counters)
UB(U/B)Dragonlord Silumgar
Of course that suggestions , comments and critics are always very welcome

Kolaghan is there for the haste anthem only
