Modern Burn Dragons

Main Combo:

Dragon Tempest + Scourge of Valkas + Terror of the Peaks

This combo will deal absurd amounts of damage whenever a Dragon enters the battlefield

Dragons:

• Manaform Hellkite makes non-creature spells create attackers that also trigger Valkas and Tempest
• Terror of the Peaks delivers another layer of lightning when a dragon enters play
• Thunderbreak Regent is a very cost-efficient dragon that makes enemies think twice about using removal
• Scourge of Valkas triggers Burn damage whenever a dragon enters the battlefield

Support Spells:

• Dragon Tempest gives Haste to the dragons on top of making them deal damage when entering play
• Dragonlord's Servant eases Dragon mana costs
• Sarkhan, Fireblood is used for Ramp, drawing cards or to drop 4 dragons at once
• Rivaz of the Claw ramps even more and can reanimate fallen dragons

Disruption and Removal:

• Lightning Bolt is the bread and butter of Red decks
• Thoughtseize is great to pick apart enemy hands especially in the early game
• Terminate is simple but effective removal

Sideboard:

• Dragonlord Kolaghan ensures Haste and severely punishes copies of previously removed creatures
• Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury has Dash for Valkas and Tempest triggers and grants a massive power boost
• Relic of Progenitus deals with graveyard strategies
• Risk Factor draws some much needed cards or continues the lightning barrage
• Sarkhan's Triumph tutors any Dragon
• Smash to Smithereens violently disposes of troublesome artifacts
• Whip of Erebos bestows Lifelink and can bring back the dead once

I have some doubts if this Sideboard is good enough, and I think the deck could benefit from more Card Draw and early game cards, so any help on that or other deck matters is appreciated!
