I don't really think the deck is viable without some type of hand sculpting from blue or red. I like your red list above though I tinkered with it through goldfishing:
1 Scholar of Athreos
3 Worldgorger Dragon
3 Griselbrand
2 Chrome Mox
4 Lotus Petal
4 Cabal Therapy
4 Dark Ritual
4 Entomb
4 Faithless Looting
4 Gitaxian Probe
4 Animate Dead
4 Dance of the Dead
1 Buried Alive
3 Unmask
4 Badlands
4 Bloodstained Mire
4 Marsh Flats
2 Shivan Gorge
1 Swamp
It's more all-in but I think that without blue you can't play the long game.
Been goldfishing a lot & made some more changes. I think I might try this on cockatrice tonight.
1 Scholar of Athreos
3 Worldgorger Dragon
3 Griselbrand
2 Chrome Mox
4 Lotus Petal
4 Cabal Therapy
2 Careful Study
4 Dark Ritual
4 Entomb
4 Faithless Looting
4 Gitaxian Probe
4 Animate Dead
3 Dance of the Dead
1 Buried Alive
2 Unmask
3 Bloodstained Mire
4 Forbidden Orchard
4 Gemstone Mine
2 Shivan Gorge
2 Swamp
No pack rat? Enabler and win con in one.
The Parfait Meta-Game
I've been thinking about this deck concept since Worldgorger was unbanned. I think what we're really looking at here is a 3 color deck. Most of the deck is black, we need the card advantage of blue, and our win condition is most likely red.
3x Worldgorger Dragon
4x Griselbrand
4x Entomb
4x Gitaxian Probe
4x Brainstorm
4x Ponder
4x Thoughtseize
4x Cabal Therapy
4x Animate Dead
4x Dance of the Dead
3x Lotus Petal
3x Banefire
4x Polluted Delta
4x Bloodstained Mire
3x Underground Sea
2x Blood Crypt
1x Island
1x Swamp
Banefire is interesting because it can't be countered. Then again, if we find that the hand-attack is effective at removing our opponent's permission, we may be able to get away with dropping red altogether - we could run something like Drain Life.
I don't see the benefit of an uncounterable kill card when your mana engine is not unstoppable. In a U/B list, Cunning Wish and Intuition are way better than burn spell.
Eh, there's also a thread for this: [WGD] Ub Cunning Dragon.

Maindeck:

2 Surgical Extraction
He threw in a second kill card, 1 Scholar of Athreos is the 61st card.
4 Deathrite Shaman
3 Tasigur, the Golden Fang
2 Worldgorger Dragon
1 Greenseeker
4 Cabal Therapy
4 Thoughtseize
1 Kiss of Death
4 Green Sun's Zenith
4 Abrupt Decay
4 Entomb
2 Buried Alive
4 Animate Dead
2 Dance of the Dead
2 Necromancy
4 Bayou
1 Swamp
1 Forest
1 Dryad Arbor
4 Verdant Catacombs
2 Wooded Foothills
2 Marsh Flats
4 Piranha Marsh
The kill here is, if it isn't obvious: End the Dragon loop with Tasigur coming into play via any of the reanimation spells after using Entomb, Buried Alive, Greenseeker or discard on yourself. You spam Tasigur's ability until you mill Kiss of Death from the library. From there you can bounce it to your hand, cast it and replay it with each Tasigur activation until opponent is dead. (Actually, Exsanguinate seems a much better option since it's castable pre-combo and doesn't target). You can win with Piranha Marsh without wasting time durdling with the deck. This controllish version by the way has a nut draw potential of killing on turn 3. This is no way an optimized list and I only took 5 minutes to build it.
Consume Spirit is better. (Since hitting creatures seems more important than beating Leyline.)
Death of a Thousand Stings or better Hornet Sting since they are instants and therefore can be spammed within the loop without breaking it, as long as Tasigur is in play. Hornet Sting has wider applications.
Sorry to necro this but anyone still playing Dragon? came up with a list...was wondering what you guys thought

I saw another cool idea of playing with 4 Grim Monolith and 4 Grave Titans in the board
as a transformational idea as well.
Basically the idea is to kill your oponent with your lands via dragon loop but you can also just
power out a Griselbrand early too. was wondering if anyone has any testing with this deck?
Looks fun. What are the Wanted Scoundrels in the board for?
@rood: this looks sweet! Could you explain your sb and buried alive strategy?
Definitly will test this!
