Looking sick, I run a similar dragons list; can I ask how your current match ups have gone?

Thanks for the interest in the deck!
It's been a few months since I've been to a tournament so I might be a little outdated on matchups. But basically my meta is Death's Shadow, Affinity, Merfolk, Lantern Control, and White Cloudshift.
The deck is pretty solid against shadow and Affinity, my removal can hold them back decently well and my sideboard helps a lot with both.
Merfolk and lantern are really tough matchups for me, I've never beaten the Merfolk guy. Anger of the Gods is my only real answer I have and I've never drawn it against him lol. I got the Shatterstorms specifically for lantern but I haven't been matched against him since their addition.
The Cloudshift deck was a pretty easy win but it's kind of a niche deck. It tried to out value with cards like Blade Splicer and Wall of Omens but he has no answer to Stormbreath Dragon so RIP.
The only other top-tier deck I've played against is Bant Tron and I got stomped by him. He isn't a regular at the LGS so I had no sideboard tech to stop him so he basically did what my deck tries to do but 2 turns faster.

I've been trying to make the deck faster and less combo oriented. So Broodmother is out, at least for now, because she is by far the slowest card in the deck. The fact that she only has 4 toughness on a 6 Mana creature hurt me a lot too. Basically every time I played her the best case scenario was I get one token and then she eats a removal spell which just feels awful for 6 mana. If my meta slows down I will probably slot her back in but for now haste cards like Glorybringer or fatter bodies like Dragonlord Dromoka have performed better for me.

Out of curiosity, is there a reason why this deck doesn't run Cavern of Souls? Considering the majority of this deck is tribal-based, Cavern does nothing but benefit you.

This deck does run Cavern as a 2 of. I cut it back to 2 as I added in more non-creature spells but it's there.

My mistake @Salmon. I missed that earlier.Makes me wish I could get some criticism on my decks.

I would love to, believe me. If I had the funds I'd probably drop the Terminates and Murderous Cut. They are definitely on my list to get.
