Ok I have a bunch of Mono-Red cards laying around that I really wanna put in a deck. I have the following: Thundermaw Hellkite , Furyborn Hellkite , Ancient Hellkite , Flameblast Dragon , Hellrider (2) , Chancellor of the Forge , Akroma, Angel of Fury (2) ,Ball Lightning , Figure of Destiny , Hoard-Smelter Dragon , Chandra Ablaze (2), Chandra, the Firebrand , Chandra Nalaar (2), Volley of Boulders , and Koth of the Hammer (2). I have 1 of all these cards unless it has a number in a () after the title. Now I have no idea how to incorporate all of these into a brilliant deck idea. But if you have any ideas, please shout them at me. Experts...your help is needed.

Zombify is a classic, there's always Rise from the Grave and Unburial Rites works too but requires a white splash for the flashback

Animate Dead , Reanimate , Necromancy , Dread Return , Exhume , Sheoldred, Whispering One , Goryo's Vengeance , Shallow Grave , Corpse Dance , Apprentice Necromancer , Victimize , Soul Exchange .
I think it might be quite fun and an interesting concept to have a reanimator dragon deck. If you would be pursueing it I might sugest dropping red lands all together and use cards such as Cabal Therapy , Entomb , or any other self discard spell or ability in black as a way of getting your dragons in the graveyard to be reanimated.
First turn any dragon in mono black.
T1: swamp > Dark Ritual > Entomb > Exhume .

Personally I like 4 and 4. Faithless Looting let's you toss extra copies and it helps you get the pieces you need when them. 4 Heartless could probably be three but I'd be hesitant since this deck really needs it with all the high mana cost fatties.

I'd lean towards a 3/2 split zombify/rise from the grave. You don't want too many. There are cheaper options mana wise that have been suggested if you want to go that route. I had budget in mind with my suggestions, but those are stronger cards.

Run 4 Blood Crypt and four Dragonskull Summit so you can play Heartless Summoning . Run Faithless Looting to toss extra copies of walkers and fatties, then reanimate your dragons. Run Sarkhan the Mad if you happen to have him too.
Burn spells to make up the rest of the slots.
