Actually, would you be able to look at my dragon deck? It's called Screw the Khans! DRAGONS!!!

Also, any pure dragon deck should have at least one Sarkhan the Mad, he's a fantastic finisher.

i would recommend taking some elves out and replacing them with dragon speaker shamans? and crucible of fire may help out too. also try having a few lower mana costing creatures which can tank a bit while the dragons some into play.

Smellygoat11 - In your description you say atarka is a 4/6 body. But he's a 6/4. Just a little mistake xD

Um, like Nefferean said, Dragonspeaker Shaman is not Modern legal. I'm not taking any of the elves out because I need that ramp to get out dragons fast enough to the point where I don't NEED blockers.
Plus, if I do need early game blockers, Sakura-Tribe Elder and Courser of Kruphix are perfect for the job.
About Sarkhan the Mad, this deck is not, and probably never will be, tri-color. The third color kills my optimized ramp package.
Also, thanks for pointing out my mistake Nefferean! :D

It looks like you don't have anything to combat instant speed removal. A 1 mana path to exile seems bad for you. Something for hexproof/indestructible I would think is on hand... Vines of Vastwood maybe?

If I were you I would replace some of the Semblance Anvils for some Urza's Incubators

Uh, guys, you're forgetting about Lightning Greaves. I'll consider Vines of Vastwood for cheaper instant speed hexproof though.

Lightning greaves equips at sorcery speed and won't always work .

Fervor would be my only suggestion. With all of the ramp, it shouldn't be a problem dropping it turn 2 or 3.

Also, if you are considering Vines of Vastwood, Ranger's Guile makes a handy backup. Does the same thing essentially, but with two-headed giant, vines would be better.

Thanks for the suggestions! I've added 3 Ranger's Guile to the sideboard to combat instant speed removal.

Love the deck! Have you considered Xenagos, God of Revels or Nylea, God of the Hunt to help make your dragons more of a threat?

Smellygoat11 says... #21
I actually have. Modern dragons are enough of a threat by themselves, so adding a card like Xenagos, God of Revels would be overkill for the price of a less consistent deck.
Consistency is a key component in any Modern deck imo!

Since you're in Modern and running so many dragon-token makers, maybe a Doubling Season and/or Warstorm Surge. It would be good to at least sideboard them.

Scourge of Valkas with your brood mother out and its gg. As a side note Sarkhan Vol is great for giving a little extra swinging power and haste and one or two Wooded Foothills wouldn't hurt.

I second the Sarkhan Vol. I Completely forgot about his ultimate.

I agree, I used to be on the fence about using Scourge of Valkas, but after playing this deck for about half a year, Thundermaw Hellkite's ability is rarely needed. I'll switch them up.
I'll try making this a pure token deck, therefore I'll add Sarkhan Vol as well.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Mm, I personally find Hellkite Overlord a bit underwhelming considering the sketchier mana-base and the ineffectiveness of the Arbor Elf + Utopia Sprawl combo that comes with Jund.
