No matter the exact build (I think 2-3 colors for Basics is necessary for me) Dragon has a pretty good win percentage game one against the field. Games 2 and 3 however get tougher. There are fewer Leyline of the Voids in the meta than 6 months ago. And Jailer has little affect (short of Deep Analysis). But there are still many Chain of Vapors, and Echoing Truths, Tormod's Crypts in boards. Even Ray of Revelation is pretty bad for the Dragon plan.

The Mask-Dreadnought plan is interesting and worth some testing.

The SB is really tricky in Dragon matchs. (don't always know what they may bring in... ??) The Oath plan is OK, but I'm not loving it. I've lost to Orchard Token beatdown, had my Oaths out-countered, been unable to find Oath, had Oath down and no pressure and no activations, had fat creatures stuck in my hand, outdrawn, outraced, had dead Animate affects in hand, and been a turn too slow too often - or all the above. I know the same can be said for main Dragon but at least main Dragon can just instantly win now. Oath at it's most efficient still takes 2 more turns to win. I hate having to take out the win the main win condition the maindeck is based on. I think I  want a SB that keeps some semblense of the Dragon kill in.

I'm tempted to try more SB discard to get boarded in bounce out of their hand, even Ravens Crime. I understand it could be easy to over sideboard... but that is tough too. Their hate, even 3-5 more cards is pretty significant hate (Tormod's Crypt, Relic of Progenitus, Chain of Vapor, Extirpate). I just want to play 4 Phyrexian Negators, but there are just a few too many weenies (but not quite enough for a good Oath plan). Tombstakers or Dusk Urchins seem... I don't know. If Sowers of Temptation cost less they'd be good. This probably seems willy nilly, that's just it. Dragon = love the main, hate the board.

SB???
3 Chain of Vapor
2 Thoughtseize
1 Tinker
2 Sundering Titan
1 Tropical Island (with another in the main)
3 Tarmogoyf
3 Yixlid Jailer

Necro'ing an old thread is not a great first post, and you are severely lacking in content.  Check out some of the other posts to see what the standard for this board is.  If you are interested in the current dragon version, I reccomend checking out this thread here, filled with great information.

Cheers,
