Information

Star of the Deck
Eclipse Dragon gives you 3 "fast" power at the end of your turn. What can you do with that 3 power?

You can...
Wisdom of the Elders to draw more cards
Dragon Forge to get a dragon of your choice + discount
Ice Bolt a big boi (with 7 health or less)
Dazzle to protect your dragon or deny a spell
Blazing Salvo to get a chump off the board and fetch something from the market

Other Cards
Grand Suppressor is awesome in this deck, doesn't mess with anything, messes up opponents.
Cozin Darkheart blocks early aggro units
Torch and Permafrost are cards
Xo of the Endless Hoard is draw + market fodder

Market
Backlash for extra counter potential and asserting dominance with the 2 damage to face
Belax, the Ravenous is a dead card without suppressor, so I really like it in the market
Edict of Linrei for factions that this deck might struggle with, swap with shavka if you want
Lightning Storm for grenadins and tokens
Oni Inciter for relics, or fetch early for more pressure with Warhelm

Flex Slots
Skycrag Blueprints: I got tilted from power screw, adjust if needed
Midias, Leyline Dragon: My fav dragon, not great by any means.
Honor of Claws: It's not fast, but its more draw. Maybe try Strategize? You're not doing much on turn 2 anyway unless you have suppressor.

PS
Oni Dragonsmith is not good for this deck. Earliest possible activation is turn 3, at which point it's a 3/2. Otherwise it's a 1/1. I'd rather permafrost or torch something over that.

Changes:
Kenna for Firemaw, more utility and body.
Torch for Bullseye, more utility, but go back to torch if you miss the 3 dmg to things and face.
Unseal for Backlash, literally didn't know Unseal was a thing. It's better.
One Midias for an extra blueprint, since Kenna is here and we need more power fixing.
Mistveil Dragon in sideboard for Dragon Forge

Xo just got bodied by nerfs, replaced 1 copy with Mistveil.

Pretty cool deck idea, i'll surely give it a try :) I sound just make some changes.
- more primal to exchange the firemaw for Kenna, Uncontained to deal with annoying aegis units (is also a dragon)
- why not Slag instead of oni inciter in the market? It can also deal whit cards like Sandstorm Titan
- why not Unseal instead of backlash? Is more versatile and i don't find that just two damages make the difference
- maybe Provoke the Dragons
Card image for Provoke the Dragons in the market to test as a "win on the spot" card
- i just found Bullseye a more versatile card than torch after the buff

Thanks! This deck is definitely a lot of fun. Eclipse Dragon into Wisdom is pure satisfaction.
Those changes worked really well, especially Kenna, Unseal and Bullseye (although I missed the extra point of dmg in some cases).
As for Provoke the Dragons, the dragons didn't really need berserk to win the game.
I don't play this game too often and I didn't know if some of these cards were still usable or not, so thank you for the help!

U know, since u run dragon forge could be a nice a single copy of Mistveil Drake to grab in response.
Facelesscat Eternal Version: 22.01.13
Certainly a fine choice. I think it would depend on how valueable face aegis is now. I'd probs cut a suppressor?
