Im thinking about creating a dragon deck and I'm wondering if anyone knows of any must have dragons and/or dragons the pump up other dragons. Any other dragon deck suggestions are welcome!
Thank you!!
@Resurrector_of_the_Soulslayer it's Dragonspeaker Shaman and if you're not in standard I would add Coat of Arms or Crucible of Fire .

Wizards' Archenemy product had a dragon-based deck. If you've got 20-30 dollars to spend I'd recommend seeking that out; it's got a lot of the famous dragons, like Kilnmouth Dragon , Flameblast Dragon and Two-Headed Dragon (and two of those Dragonspeaker Shaman s). If you're looking for a bunch of dragon- and dragon-themed cards that's a great place to pick up a bunch of them.
As for dragon-pumping cards, there's Crucible of Fire , which specifically pumps dragons. Mighty Emergence pumps any creature with power 5+, which most dragons are.

Thanks guys!! Now here's one more question haha. I'm in the process of putting a five color dragon deck together but I'm not sure about lands. Would it be better to have a bunch of fancy lands or an even amount of basic lands and a lot of pull/ramp spells?

The vivid lands will be extremely useful, Vivid Creek , Vivid Grove , Vivid Meadow , Vivid Marsh , Vivid Crag

Wow! Those are great! Would you go with just those and then some things like Gemstone Mine ? Or a couple of those along with whatever else?

Zirilan of the Claw by far one of the best Dragon deck cards...
Let alone can you grab Bladewing the Risen to return Broodmate Dragon for the second time...
Okay let me rephrase, grab Broodmate Dragon put the token into play, then get Bladewing the Risen and return Broodmate Dragon to play. So that you end up with 2x 4/4 and a Broodmate, plus you attacked with all of them.
Draco is another fun one with Dr. Claw. As well is Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund , Keiga, the Tide Star , Kokusho, the Evening Star , Ryusei, the Falling Star , Thunder Dragon , Yosei, the Morning Star , Zodiac Dragon .
There are a lot of fun possibilities but it gets real fun when you can untap Dr. Claw and use his ability numerous times.
I've seen people play with 4x of Dr. Claw a bunch of Mana Ramp and just swing with a bunch of 4/4 and 5/5 dragons on turn 3, 4, and 5.

If you want five colors then Scion of the Ur-Dragon and Ancient Ziggurat seem like obvious inclusions.

Well I went and posted/created a five color dragon deck. If anyone would go take a look at it and help me fix it (I know it's not perfect). Many many thanks!!
