I like the Dragon Variation Opening the best.

I struggle to see why black would allow white to reach this position but if white could then yes, it is a good opening.

That must be a very bad dragon since white is a pawn up for basically nothing! :(

I believe white's d pawn is not supposed to be there.

This is the dragon. You can use the Game Explorer to see what some of white's common responses are.

Or even 6... Ng4 7. Bb5+ Bd7 8. Qxg4.

Another option for black is 9. O-O-O (or 9. g4, I suppose) Nxd4 10. Bxd4 Be6, without the possibility of Nxe6 for white.
