Modern Burn Dragons

Main Combo:

Dragon Tempest + Scourge of Valkas + Terror of the Peaks

This combo will deal absurd amounts of damage whenever a Dragon enters the battlefield

Dragons:

Manaform Hellkite makes non-creature spells create attackers that also trigger Valkas and Tempest
Terror of the Peaks delivers another layer of lightning when a dragon enters play
Thunderbreak Regent is a very cost-efficient dragon that makes enemies think twice about using removal
Scourge of Valkas triggers Burn damage whenever a dragon enters the battlefield

Support Spells:

Dragon Tempest gives Haste to the dragons on top of making them deal damage when entering play
Dragonlord's Servant eases Dragon mana costs
Sarkhan, Fireblood is used for Ramp, drawing cards or to drop 4 dragons at once
Rivaz of the Claw ramps even more and can reanimate fallen dragons

Disruption and Removal:

Lightning Bolt is the bread and butter of Red decks
Thoughtseize is great to pick apart enemy hands especially in the early game
Terminate is simple but effective removal

Sideboard:

Dragonlord Kolaghan ensures Haste and severely punishes copies of previously removed creatures
Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury has Dash for Valkas and Tempest triggers and grants a massive power boost
Relic of Progenitus deals with graveyard strategies
Risk Factor draws some much needed cards or continues the lightning barrage
Sarkhan's Triumph tutors any Dragon
Smash to Smithereens violently disposes of troublesome artifacts
Whip of Erebos bestows Lifelink and can bring back the dead once

I have some doubts if this Sideboard is good enough, and I think the deck could benefit from more Card Draw and early game cards, so any help on that or other deck matters is appreciated!
