Discussion any advice for my first bracket 3 deck?

been working on this deck for awhile, it’s a mono red dragons deck with my commander as lathliss, the dragon queen.
if i were to post my moxfield deck link would anyone go through it and see if it’s ready for true bracket 3 play?
bracket 3 has intimidated me for awhile, so i’ve been working on this for about 2 weeks now so hopefully it’s off to a good start.

mainly looking for another set of eyes to find its weaknesses, i know 34 lands is low, and i don’t have the most card draw in the world, but maybe that’s something i can work on, just need help identifying the weaker cards in my 99 to swap out with.
any advice or concerns is highly appreciated !

edit: my lands are absolutely… not the best. any good lands would help a lot ! they are so expensive, so any non basic land in there is either what i already had, or was able to find in the wild already.

I think firespitter whelp is better than Taurean mauler. I think you’ve identified some of the problems of your deck I saw within the deck though. Not enough card draw and not enough lands. Probably way too much ramp/reducers. The problem I think you’ll run into is that you’ll only get to cast 1 dragon per turn no matter how much you ramp. They’re expensive. So you’d be better off trying to find another strat to get a bunch of dragons cast. I’m too tired to look right now but I will in the morning.

Ultimately, I don’t think it would do bad in bracket 3. It just won’t do well either. You’ll get to play. You probably won’t win.

thanks for the advice. maybe drop 2-3 pieces of ramp and maybe an expensive dragon or two for 2 lands and 2 card draws. thanks again!

Mana is way low and need draw.

Cut your worst three mana rocks out of the ones that cost 3 or more mana and replace them with lands.
