Deck overview

This Scion of the Ur-Dragon deck is a five-color graveyard combo and reanimator deck. It leverages powerful self-mill, efficient tutors, and the commander's ability to fill the graveyard with decisive Dragon threats. The primary route to victory utilizes Underworld Breach paired with Lion's Eye Diamond and Brain Freeze to mill the library and win with Thassa's Oracle, or Hermit Druid in a manabase without basic lands to dump the entire library into the graveyard. When combo avenues are contested, the deck seamlessly transitions into a resilient dragon reanimation strategy, cheating high-impact creatures like Ancient Silver Dragon, Ancient Copper Dragon, and Hoarding Broodlord into play. Robust draw engines like Rhystic Study, Sylvan Library, and The One Ring ensure continuous resource generation, while a redundant suite of reanimation spells provides outstanding recovery against removal.
