Why do I wanna make this deck?

This is my first deck. I made it because I wanted to play EDH with my friends. The goal is was to figure out how to make decks, and to figure out how I like to make my decks. Now, I don't really know what the goal of the deck is. It's somewhere between "it's my first deck and it still exists due to nostalgia", "I wanna try new things" and "I don't know why this deck hasn't been pulled apart yet".

How do I reach that goal/want?

Because the Why is so vague, so is the How. The deck just wants to play dragons and turn them sideways. The person who first taught me how to play EDH prefers playing magic that way, and although I don't hate it, it tends to bore me a bit. So right now, I've tried to add a dragon ETB theme to it. Not sure at all if it works.

What do I need to do that?

Firstly, dragons tend to be expensive, so I need plenty of mana. Ramp away! Secondly, dragons tend to draw removal, so I want to recur them. Recursion away! Thirdly, the dragon ETB bit makes it better to play smaller dragons/tokens rather than a few big ones. I'll need to find the balance between the "lord" effects to buff my dragons, and the creation of many dragons (if at all possible).

Potential issue with this play is that it loses the old feel of swinging in with big dragons and turn it into a token deck, and I do know I don't want that.

Reasons for removal:

  • Acidic Slime is expensive removal, and the deck has enough artifact/enchantment removal.
  • Faithless Looting and Hunter's Insight just don't feel very good most of the time.
  • Bloodgift Demon is alright, but I wanna try some cheaper recuring draw.
  • Jund Panorama, Mortuary Mire and Spinerock Knoll are my least favourite lands in the deck.
  • Hellkite Overlord is just a big boy, and I want my cards to do a bit more now.
  • Harrow, Springbloom Druid, Solemn Simulacrum and Garruk Wildspeaker are all okay, but I realized they fit better in a different deck.
  • Patriarch's Bidding is my 6th recursion spell ATM, and it might be a little too much.
  • I've not used the Blades of Velis Vel combo in this deck in FOREVER, and it also just doesn't feel as good anymore.

    • Reasons for adding:

  • The deck needs some instant speed spot removal: Go for the Throat and Terminate seem good.
  • Ambition's Cost, Colossal Majesty and Rishkar's Expertise fill up the draw slots that need some love.
  • Exotic Orchard, Fire-Lit Thicket and Temple of the False God feel like better lands.
  • Birds of Paradise, Cultivate, Farseek and Kodama's Reach are the required normal ramp for the deck, and Herald's Horn is just fun.
  • Flameshadow Conjuring might have some cool synergies for the deck, and gives it something to spend a little bit of mana on for big effect.
