I never knew that card existed.  That would be awesome.  However I'm making the deck block constructed.  If there is anything else from Ravnica you know of, or if you think the deck could use a bit more balance that'd be some great advice.  Im planning on buying it in the next few weeks.  I'd like to focus on Hellbent as much as possible, that's why I was running 4 {Ignorant Bliss}.  However, Id rather not run 4 copies of anything else.  Unless its absolutely assencial I like to run 2 or 3 of most cards so I can have a variety in a deck, rather than 4 copies of 7 or 8 cards.

I love {Elvish Piper} and you already have green splashed.

Yeah, I run {Elvish Piper} in mine too, it works well, but I'm considering running {Quicksilver Amulet} instead.  It cost more, but people tend to kill my piper easier.

I'm a little wary of putting cheap creatures in your splash color. If you want to play them early, you probably won't have that color. IMHO

I agree with you on that, but his splash color is actually almost half of his mana.  He has 8 forests, and 4 Rootbounds, so in that case he should have a 50/50 chance of being able to produce green mana early.

Yeah, in my dragon deck I like to run a few artifacts that give some extra mana early game.  I wouldn't worry about too many dragons though, I run 17.  As long as you can get mana to play them quickly you should be okay.  Also since your running green too you might want to try a few green creatures that give you some added mana, like Birds of Paradise. 

I really dont like this deck just because 90% of the time it just beats the crap out of everyone I play.  So it's just not that fun for me.  But I spent money on it and built it, so here it is.

Isn't that a good thing

I mean I like to win and all, of corse, but I mostly play with the same few guys, and no one likes to play a deck over and over again that usually wins on turn 4 or 5.  Actually (very odd for a red player to say) I kinda like late game, and this deck doesn't let late game happen.  But then if it does it's really fun with the monuments, lol!  Who doesn't love an army of flying indestructible goblins!

Yes, I like that a lot!

I feel the pain.

That would be awesome, if it wasn't so expensive.  Also, I'd like to keep this deck modern legal.

Am I the only one who wished Sword of War and Peace had a lightning helix type of effect?  Not that the actual effect is bad.  I just wish it had a consistent amount of burn/ life gain, like 3 for 3, or something like that.  Seems most times when I use it I never get more than 4 out of it if I'm lucky anyways.
