Deck overview

This is a five-color Dragon tribal midrange deck helmed by Scion of the Ur-Dragon. The core plan uses Scion's activated ability to repeatedly tutor Dragon permanents into the graveyard while copying their bodies for combat and triggers, then reanimates or hard-casts the piled Dragons for overwhelming board presence. Primary wins come from infinite-combat loops (Hellkite Charger with Savage Ventmaw or Nature's Will), ETB-damage engines (Terror of the Peaks, Scourge of Valkas, Dragon Tempest) amplified by Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm and Lathliss, Dragon Queen, and mass reanimation via Living Death, Patriarch's Bidding, and Eerie Ultimatum. Secondary lines include treasure explosions off Old Gnawbone/Ancient Copper Dragon and raw flying beatdown. Scion is the central access engine-cheap to activate, color-intensive to cast-while the 99 supplies dense Dragon payoffs, cost reduction, and recursion so the deck still functions when the commander is answered.
