If we play all flyers for our win conditions, (Moltensteel, Covetous Dragon), then Vow of Lightning is the perfect answer to opposing creatures and a flexible one at that. Likewise, if we play Shivan Wumpus, then Chaos Warp could work with that.
This is actually my current and all time favorite list.
This build needs very little red mana, so I've cut a mountain and am testing a couple of Crystal Vein to see how it fares. It's actually been fairly useful playing with tons of land.
5 Mountain
4 Great Furnace
4 Ancient Tomb
4 City of Traitors
2 Crystal Vein
4 Chrome Mox
4 Simian Spirit Guide
4 Seething Song
4 Magus of the Moon
4 Blood Moon
4 Chalice of the Void
4 Trinisphere
3 Phyrexian Revoker
3 Red Creature Flex Slot (Flametoungue Kavu, Shivan Wumpus, Rosheen Meanderer etc.)
3 Moltensteel Dragon
4 Covetous Dragon
The deck plays 22 artifacts to support Covetous Dragon, and it plays 23 cards that it can pitch to Chrome Mox. It currently plays 17 sources of red mana (13 permanent sources of red mana), which seems to be enough given that none of the decks creatures need double red, however, you can easily cut a Crystal Vein to up the Mountain count if you find it neccessary.
It's a huge relief not to have to support any cards that require double red mana to cast. And it's especially relieving to not have to build the deck around hellbent, or suffering card disadvantage at the hand of Gathan Raiders.
It's as consistent a list of Dragon Stompy as any I've ever used so I think it's well worth your time to try out. As you can see, the list is still being tweaked so if you can help with that, that would be great.
