16 dragons in this deck and 1/4 of the lands produce colorless. What does every opening hand have? 2-3 dragons and 2-3 nonbasics + 1 basic. This is rather "rare" to keep getting all the time. Based on math if I've 4 lands odds are it's 3 red 1 colorless(not even bc 2nonbasic are colored). 2-3 dragons in every opener is also just not common. Need a scroll rack even then. How bad this deck has been for odds lately is rather annoying.
Elixir of Immortality is a must in my opinion. Lets you get a quicker loop going than having to pitch an eldrazi. It also can be safe to crack early if there's a crypt as it never goes to yard. If the eldrazi goes to yard they can respond to the ability and remove it from the game.
I didn't take the time to look through all the pages to see discussed cards, but I did look at your change log and noticed none of the following cards that might be good for you: Taunting Elf If you're playing against a fast deck like goblins it ensures you bait them into that and take them out.
Envelop Wrath effects (with the exception of artifacts/creatures) are sorcery speed. This says no for 1 blue mana.
Wrap in vigor If you're holding this and it's a wrath that doesn't stop you from regeneration effects you cast this and laugh as your things live and everyone else loses their nice things. Also stops you from wraths (besides ones that say can't be regenerated) that have been slipped in with a Boseiju, Who Shelters All
Strength in Numbers Someone went infinite life. You send in your army with this on your general (provided they've no blockers) Would also work on the infect elf and the unblockable infect human. Or just a huge beat in one turn to drop someone a turn faster.
You're either going to lose your creature to Zirilian's effect at EOT anyway, I don't see why potentially losing them would be an issue. You could always run a sac outlet instead and just shuffle them back in. But that's two cards instead of one.
I've a few cards that work well along with sac outlets already. Rishadan Pawnshop Shuffles in so I can tutor it back out later. Tel-Jilad Stylus Puts it on the bottom to tutor again. Sundial of the Infinite After i'm done with mp2 I just end turn and keep anything I tutored, anything I stole, and any tokens I generated with Minion Reflector.
Some of my Dragons I want to die. Hoarding Dragon is one of them.
I was wanting a sneak attack but no where around here had them. I don't like buying singles, much rather trade or buy collections. Plan on getting one at Gencon along with gauntlet of might I can't run too much in terms of board wipes as I'm red and all I've are 3 available ones. 2 of which I think are horrible for this deck. Red hates artifacts. 30 cards in here (including the artifact creatures) are artifacts. So the only one I'd run is all is dust. This is why I'm trying to run earthquake effects and board wipes in my dragons. I've enough acceleration in the deck I can hard cast a few dragons a turn in case zirilian is tucked. I don't like the exile effects that tie my creatures to them. All they've to do is bounce that card and I've lost them. Happens with extraplanar lens sometimes. Granted I lose out a land... but the acceleration is important for the deck.
I forgot that. He could also put the cards converted mana cost in front of it and state that's what the number is if he wanted to be even fancier. I think I'm going to do that with my list I've up right now. It's already sorted that way I just didn't think about numbering it like that til just now.
To fix the list and make it look neater put (DECK]insert deck here[/DECK) around your deck. Just replace the ( and ) with [ and ] It'll cause you to get more people who'll actually look at it since it'll be neat and presentable that way.
He's too "vanilla" for me. If he had firebreathing or some other good mechanic on him as well.... I do need to pick up 4 of those for my Modern Deck though. Friend has 2 for me that he can't seem to find.
Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief Could just be the bees knees as a general for you. I used to play her a while back. Since you said you didn't have much for instants for yours atm and she's removal in herself
Removal: Decree of pain Worst case you cycle this bad boy to wrath the board instead You at least get 1 card that way. It's fun to trick a green player who just animated all their lands and then cycle this and kill them off. Tendrils of Corruption Dismember Wayyyyyy better than sudden death. As priority doesn't pass when a card is laid so if it has an activated ability it can be triggered when they lay it. This gets you that 1 extra point and can be cast for 4 life and a mana rather than 3. Spine of Ish Sah Pair that with the Phyrexia's core = happy day. Duplicant Brittle Effigy Forced Marsh Withered Wretch
Those are cards I can think of off the top of my head. There's others out there. If you'd like for me to name some cuts I can do that later. Need a break for now and figured you'd like this
I've always been a sucker for those cute cuddly dragons. So I put together a deck of them. I usually play it with a group of friends, sometimes 1v1 with one of them. We don't take into consideration the 1v1 banned list for that though as it'd be too much of a pain to switch cards out all the time since we build our decks to play with groups of people.
Other than the lands the numbers next to the card represent the cards converted mana cost.
There's the deck. I still need a few cards for it like Gauntlet of Might. Other cards I don't have in due to being limited to the copies I possess and have put them in other decks. Good example would be Strip Mine. I could finish up all my decks (mostly finished now) and then have enough for a few more, but I personally see EDH as an opportunity to show off some of your favorite cards and those special shiney/altered art/autographed cards of yours.
The Sword of Feast and Famine was originally put in the deck for when I've to cast fatties. This way I can lay something, swing, and then lay something else. I then realized I had the Hellkite Charger in there. Giving me infinite combat steps. Seer's Sundial + insurrection is a nice combo as well Warp World is in there 4tehlulz, and it's not bad for me to begin with. Only 12 cards in the whole deck can't come in off it.
Feedback good or bad is appreciated. If it's bad give me some reasons or you're comments are invalid.
Massive amounts of edits. Gonna try this one at gencon this week.

Diplomatic Immunity Slap this on your general. Happy day.
Spore frog That annoying goblin player at the table keeping pace with you?
Dispel Not sure how relevant instant speed removals are or fogs for that matter, but there you go.
Elvish Lyrist meh blowing up enchantments is nice but you've Chain of vapor so you shouldn't need this one.
There's my suggestions. Hope they're of some help.
I've a few cards that work well along with sac outlets already.
Rishadan Pawnshop Shuffles in so I can tutor it back out later.
Tel-Jilad Stylus Puts it on the bottom to tutor again.
