Hi fellow player captivated by
dragon's approach! Definitely gonna build a deck with them as well, one day. I'd probably choose
Syr Carah, the bold though, or
Tor Wauki the Younger, due to pure simple preference.
I'm no one in term of deckbulding skills, I've no real idea of how to properly adress your issues.I'm repling only because I like your deck!;)
I'm sure you are having lot of fun playing it with friends!
A quick piece of advice: it would be wonderful of you to sort out your deck in categories...
Something Like...:
- card advantage
- early ramp
- late mana
- big
dragons- target removal
- mass removal
- main strategy (for the like of trobran,
kessig flamebreather,
thrumming stone...)
- lands
The final result should be so much easier to evaluate for others, and therefore easier for you to obtain ideas and advice.
Checking quickly your deck I found some cards that really puzzle me. But you put them in because you like them, so is obviuosly perfectly fine to keep them in.
I would probably remove:
Tribal flames (there are better option for targeted removal)
The stasis coffin (but I guess it depends on your meta, maybe having protection from everything is real key in your pod)
Lightning Phoenix (really cute sinergy with the
dragon's approach thing, but I find it not useful)
Bloodsworn steward (buffing commander is always nice, but do you really need it?)
Ashenmoor liege (as above)
None of these have to be removed, expecially if you find enjoiable playing your deck as it is.
But I think, and I'm gonna say something really simple, that if you want to pursue the road of empowerment for your deck, the main way is either investing money, or a lot of focus on specific strategy, without any room for fun cards.
It would not be fair to suggest you what to cut without some ideas of what to bring in. I think your deck lack a bit of early ramp. Something else you could play at turn two.
But the pieces I would really really test are cards like
cathartic reunion,
faithless looting and thrill of possibilities. Cards like these should help you fill your gy more quickly with dragon's approaches and to have therefore your dragon's entering the battlefield earlier. You play
sickening dreams, so you should know if discarding cards is useful or not. And I think it should be.
But maybe I'm wrong
Hope to have written something at least a bit useful
Have fun!
