This is a deck I am making my gf to get her into MTG she loves Game of Thrones. So I wanted to make her a dragon deck, but dragons are too expensive for mana so I'm making it a dragon/human any color deck.  Please help, i really want her to play this tcg too

You need to narrow down the colors. I suggest {R}/{G} or Temur.

{Crucible of the Spirit Dragon}: isn't that great. I prefer {Haven of the Spirit Dragon}.

{Dragonlord Atarka}: is good. I'd suggest 2-3.

{Herdchaser Dragon}/{Stormwing Dragon}/{Acid-Spewer Dragon}/{Belltoll Dragon}/{Shieldhide Dragon}: are not good. I know they're dragon tribal but they're too much mana. If you do decide to run them make sure you stick to the {R}/{G} and maybe the blue one, but only around two /total/.

{Dragonlord Dromoka}/{Dragonlord Kolaghan}/{Dragonlord Silumgar}/{Dragonlord Ojutai}: while all of these are pretty cool cards, and some of them are very good, I would not recommend them based on trying to streamline the colors.

{Brood Keeper}: I don't think there are going to be enough auras in the deck to justify this. I'd cut it.

{Dragon Whisperer}: flavour wise? Sweet. In practice? I don't know. Two seems like a good number. I'd try it out.

{Dragon's Eye Sentry}: isn't really helping the deck. I say cut it.

{Dromoka Dunecaster}: see above.

{Shambling Goblin}: this isn't in colors that we're cutting to nor is it dragon tribally. I say goodbye.

{Disowned Ancestor}: unless there's some serious Game of Thrones flavour I'm missing (and even then) this isn't super helpful to the deck.

{Lightning Berserker}: I /might/ run this. But probably not. Up to you.

{Silumgar's Command}: out of colors and we don't want to be sitting on five mana. Cut.

{Ojutai's Command}: Out of colors, not doing anything really inline with the game plan I'm going for. Cut.

{Abzan Runemark}/{Jeskai Runemark}/{Sultai Runemark}/{Mardu Runemark}/{Temur Runemark}: none of these are going to be impactful enough for me to say they deserve slots.

{Kolaghan's Command}: it's not that great. And it's not in the colors I'd like to run. Cut.

{Abzan Ascendancy}: not really on theme, not in the colors I'm recommending. Cut.

{Atarka's Command}: I think this is worth making room for. I'd probably run 3-4.

{Dromoka's Command}: out of colors but a good card. Cut.

Now here's the fun part. Where I recommend new things instead of picking apart yours. (If I wasn't trying to be helpful I wouldn't be putting so much time into this. I really am trying to help you make a deck for your GF.)

{Savage Ventmaw}: fuels your expensive dragon spells. Can also activate {Dragon Whisperer} if you've got enough power on the board and nothing better to do. Very solid card. Depending on the build 2-4.

{Thunderbreaker Regnant}: Makes the whole deck stronger by making its threats harder to answer. All in all very good. I'd run 4.

{Harbringer of the Hunt}: if you play against pesky tokens this will eat them. I wouldn't run too many though. 1-2.

{Dragonlord's Servant}: making your dragons cheaper. Cheaper dragons, more casting, more fun. Run 4.

{Rattleclaw Mystic}: you need mana, he's your guy. There's also {Sylvan Caryatid} and the budget options of {Voyaging Satyr}, {Whisperer of the Wilds} and {Elvish Mystic}. This makes the deck faster and better. Run any combination of 6-8 of these.

{Dragon Tempest}: hasty dragons that go BOOM!

{Temur Ascendancy}:Hasty dragons that draw cards.

{Silumgar's Scorn}: two mana counter spell.

{Stubborn Denial}: very easy to turn on and amazing vs control decks.

{Draconic Roar}: removal with to the face damage too!

{Sarkhan Unbroken}: If you want your gf to be the envy of everyone playing magic. He's also very, very good.  1-2.

If you'd like more advice or want to discuss my ideas let me know! I have a Temur list I can post if you're interested.

Thanks! Is there anything megamorph/morph stuff? 
I like the concept of it and can possibly change a match quick.  Thats why I had the 6 cmc dragons.

Honestly they're all pretty bad. {Ruthless Ripper}, {Jeering Instigator} and the DTK series... {Hidden Dragon Slayer}, {Den Protector} ect are okay. But they're not really in theme.
