Deck overview

This deck is a high-power five-color Dragon tribal toolbox and reanimator strategy helmed by Scion of the Ur-Dragon. The game plan focuses on deploying early ramp to cast Scion by Turn 4. Once operational, Scion acts as an on-demand tutor and copy engine, filling the graveyard with premier Dragon threats while transforming into the ideal Dragon for any situation. The deck pivots smoothly between combat dominance, massive card advantage through Ancient Silver Dragon, and burst reanimation with Animate Dead and Bladewing the Risen. A robust suite of free and efficient interaction, including Deflecting Swat, Fierce Guardianship, and Crux of Fate, protects the board while disrupting opposing strategies. The deck closes games rapidly around Turn 7 through overwhelming aerial damage and direct burn triggers from Terror of the Peaks and Scourge of Valkas.
