Had a chance to test this deck today and loved it. Still, there's some work to be done and the deck requires a lower cmc to become useful since it requires so much mana to be effective. Reactive cards will have to go.
Chances I'm donging: Removed Dualcaster Mage, Wild Ricochet, 2 Mountain, Warstorm Surge, Moltensteel Dragon, Where Ancients Thread, Caged Sun, Hellkite Charger and Ryusei, the Falling Star.
Added Apocalypse, Ruby Medallion, Braid of Fire, Arcane Lighthouse, Homeward Path, Safe Haven, Doubling Cube, Scourge of the Throne, Hellkite Tyrant and Mana-Charged Dragon

I haven't tested the deck yet but I like the conceot. It now needs to be tunned.
The artifacts that cheat my dragons into play work nostly as a plan b. The main idea is to use Zirilan. Only if I'm not able to use it (tucked away, killed too main times or whatever) will I use them as a way of putting out dragons through Belbe's Portal and Quicksilver Amulet.
I dislike red's looting but that might be the best option here. More so with Soldevi Digger and Reito Lantern in the deck. This deck doed need card drawing badly. I will try to understand if Dragon Mage and Knollspine Dragon are enough first.
Other than that, I do believe that I need free sac outlets to avoid exiling my dragons if Sundial of the Infinite isn't available. Goblin Bombardment would be useful. I need to check what else is out there that does the same. Wish Brion were mono-red though.

Here's a couple cards that would be great in your build:
Thousand-Year Elixir - Copies Zirilan's ability and gives him haste with his activated ability.
Rings of Brighthearth - Copies Zirilan's ability
Magewright's Stone - Lets you use Zirilan's ability again
Dragon Tyrant - He's high cost as heck but.. think of him as a finisher. He's got firebreathing to boot!

All great additions, don't doubt. I'm, not using Dragon Tyrant currently because I don't have any available. Will consider adding one later on if any of my friends has it.Thousand-Year Elixir and Magewright's Stone/Puppet Strings (I'm unsure if I have the Stone available atm while being sure I have Strings) are things I'll consider, no doubt. Should I reduce on the dragons themselves?No Rings of Brighthearth available though. And not much interested in acquiring them. Its a budget deck that and right now I haven't had to buy a single card to build it. Rings isn't THAT much expensive but there are other priorities right now. Still, a good card, no doubt.

Yeaahhh! I still find it hilarious. Flying, trample, double strike and firebreathing. So much value.

Indeed. I just don't know what to remove for it. And should I add Moltensteel Dragon too?
