Tabasco is correct, do you want a tribal dragon deck, or a Red/Brown-control deck? Based on your last comments, I'd say you might be leaning towards the Red/Brown side of the equation.
Based on your most recent list, here is what I'm not crazy about:
* Seething Song: It provides a nice 2 mana boost, but once it is used it is kaput. These can be Ancient Tombs, and would likely be better over the long term.
* Lotus Petal: Similar to the Song, its a 1-trick pony.
* 4x Kilnmouth: Don't get me wrong, it is extremely powerful, but 4x means that you will often have dead copies sitting in your hand due to its legendary status. Personally I'd cut 1, maybe 2 to squeeze in a alternative dragon.
* Urza's Incubator: After a Wildfire you will often be pooched b/c it doesn't help get around red-mana dependencies. Continue reading for possible replacements.
Also, here is a list of Dragons which could be quite successful in this deck due too your high amounts of mana.
* Ryusei
* Shivan Hellkite
* Two-Headed Dragon
Other cards which could help:
* Quicksilver Amulet/Belbe's Portal: Superior to the Incubator about 95% b/c it eliminates your red mana dependency which is a big deal considering your 4x Wildfires, it makes your Dragons (mostly) uncounterable, and drops them at instant speed setting up tons of mean combat tricks. The Amulet also allows you to play a non-Dragon or two if you wanted.
* Voltaic Key: You've got 7 artifacts that this can untap and help generate more mana, 3 of which don't untap normally. Also stronger if you go the Amulet/Portal route.
* 'X' Burn: Alternate win condition outside of the Dragons. My two favorites are Rolling Thunder and Kaervek's Torch
* Shattering Pulse: Recursive artifact destruction that your deck can support. Especially helps if your opponents are also playing artifact mana post-Wildfire.
* Gilded Lotus: Not as efficient as other mana producers, but if you definitely need the red mana I'd consider it.
Hope this helps.
