Probably marginally slower than my Oni Swarm decks on an average draw, but holds its own with tanky fliers and some even faster synergistic draws. I would say it's more variable on the whole but better suited for metas or match-ups in which you can expect opponents to be running very early single-target removal that would cause you to lose a game with Oni Swarm by running a turn or two too late.
Running this deck, you laugh delightedly if your opponent spends their removal on things-that-are-not-dragons, and also if they fail to spend said removal and you run them over with dragons-and-also-oni.
You do not laugh, however, at lower aggro for very long.
I apologize to anyone who did not understand that my personal version of midrange is "slightly larger aggro." While you were crafting sane power bases, I studied the Torch. Face is the only life I have ever known.
