Searched for a deck on this topic, this is the most recently-discussed one.
This deck can theoretically goldfish a turn-1 win, although you need a nearly perfect hand for it. 4 Dark Rituals plus a Mountain/Swamp and Lotus Petal (or plus a Simian Spirit Guide and a Swamp). Can also be done with 4x Rite of Flame without the Lotus Petal, and probably a few combinations of those and Seething Song, since Rite of Flame x4 is 11 red mana alone.
While that dream would be nice, it's probably better to plan for a turn 3-4 win and try and control the game the first couple turns. You don't need as much ramp this way (you also only need a storm count of 2, since Karrthus + Atarka is all it takes). Thoughtseize and Force of Will can help control the game, while Ponder/Brainstorm can help filter the cards in hand (Brainstorm also helps to put dragons from hand back into the library). Personal Tutor is an interesting choice for the deck as well, helping you to get Dragonstorm, or if you already have one, you can fish up a Seething Song. If you play 4x Dragonstorm, ramp cards, and 2x each of Karrthus and Atarka as your only dragons, you have a lot of room left for control cards.
