    My red white and blue allies are performing beautifully though.
    Also from Ravnica:
    RW = Boros
    UB = Dimir
    BG = Golgari
    WG = Selesnya
    RG = Gruul
    RB = Izzet
    WB = Orzhov
    WU = Azorius
    BR = Rakdos
    UG = Simic

    These are the guild color combinations.

    And Invasion:
    WRU = Raka
    URG = Ceta
    GUB = Ana
    WBR = Dega
    BGW = Necra

    But no one remembers the Invasion Wedge color combination names

    Ultimate Fun :D

    So, here's my old school Dragon's Deck.
    It's been around a long time, so some dragons aren't as "efficient".
    Also, I'm at work writing this, so it's all from memory and not in front of me.

    This may seem like an obscene amount of cards, but still, it does well.

    4x Bayou
    4x Tundra
    4x Volcanic Island
    4x Plateau
    4x Tropical Island
    3x Savannah
    3x Taiga
    2x Underground Sea
    2x Badlands

    1x Mox Jet
    1x Mox Ruby
    1x Mox Pearl
    1x Mox Saphire
    1x Mox Emerald
    1x Black Lotus
    1x Library of Alexandria
    1x Karakass

    1x Time Walk
    1x Time Twister
    1x Ancestral Recall
    3x Mana Drain
    1x Counterspell (Rarest versioned misprint)
    1x Demonic Tutor
    1x Regrowth
    2x Jayemdae Tombs

    4x Birds of Paradise
    1x Vaevictus Asmadi
    1x Nicol Bolas
    1x Volcanic Dragon
    1x Two-headed Dragon
    1x Rashida Scalebane
    1x Adun Oakenshield
    1x Zirilan of the Claw
    1x Thunder Dragon
    1x Shivan Dragon
    1x Alabaster Dragon
    1x Catacomb Dragon
    1x Lightning Dragon
    1x Mist Dragon
    1x Thunder Dragon
    1x Viashivan Dragon
    1x Crimson Hellkite

    I'd like to remake it, but it's a slow and painful process.
    Each of these dragons has made their place in my deck and it would take a lot to rep them.

    If you just wanna make it a casual dragon deck, then I'd suggest just leaving it be if you really don't care about competitiveness (looking at most of your creatures, it probably isn't). Over the year though, dragon support has been rather huge.

    Though if you want primer of interesting new dragons of late, you can just go search magic gatherer for it. One I can name right off the bats are the 6 mana triple color legends from invasion and alara iirc, Niv Mizzet from one of the ravnica block set, Scourge was a somewhat dragon based set as well, but really, there are a fuckton of new dragons and with creature's power level creeping up the way it is (to the point where lightning bolt saw reprint after a good 10+ years of hiatus), most if not all the dragon on your current deck would be considered a lot weaker than the new ones.

    a gimmick to spit them out would help, dragonstorm/recurring nightmare/lurking predators etc.. eureka and concordant crossroads for old school fun... buried alive and living death could be fun too...

    DS neeed a deck build on it to be any decent, though I suppose he can DS off a hurkyll recalled moxes for all his dragons.

    Sneak attack is a classic solution for it too, though you want some sort of grave recursion or draws to not run out of gas, Knollspine Dragon or Dragon Mage could do that, Bladewing the Risen is also a pretty good SA target.

    That's why I have Zirilan of the Claw.
    He brings any dragon from my deck into play, with haste.
    Then at the end of the turn, remove the dragon from the game.
    Fortunately, I have Rashida Scalebane, which buries the dragon and gives me life.
    Finally, Adun Oakenshield brings any creature from my graveyard to my hand for 3 mana.

    There's always a gimmick! :D

    Sneak Attack works rather well and isn't as fragile as Zirilan. If you went that route you wouldn't have to worry about hard casting them. Could go U/B/R, take out a few of the lower quality dragons and add more control/search/card drawing. Living Death and/or Patriarch's Bidding would be decent at getting them back to attack again. Same with Volrath's Stronghold.

    It won't be T1 competetive, but it should do decent in casual. Definitely look into some of the newer dragons though, especially Niv Mizzet as mentioned before since you can abuse his ability with all the mass card draw available. (Still won't be top tier, but fun in casual)

    Mizzy can just outright go infinite with curiosity and win if the opponent can't respond to it if it doesn't have summoning sickness/you trigger a card draw

    Anyway, if yotevol's intent is on that longwinded fragile combo with classic card, then I'd just leave it be since any "improvement" we can suggest will just kill his nostalgia if it's his intention to play with pet card.

    Still though, with those card I'd just make stax or time vault combo deck, but that's just playing to win.

    Manaless Ichorid is still the most brainless fun on T1 though.

    Very well said. I play for fun as mentioned.
    Still, should I wish to play control, I would take out all the dragons except Mist Dragon and load control.

    But, I have a 3-color control deck for those purposes.
    My dragon deck is ment for more multi-player.
    Your idea of the more present dragons intrigues me, so I'll look it up some.
    I haven't purchased a card in a long, long time... lol

    I dunno, I'm a pretty big fan of the T1 Charbelcher for the whole deck.

    Can always go for the Worldgorger combo as well.

    I've never played Ichorid or Time Vault, but Stax was one of the decks I enjoyed playing. Slaver was even more fun.
