1) Dragon's Hoard OUT Ceta Sanctuary IN
As much as I love the flavor of hoard, it is generally slow and unreliable card draw, and any artifact-based ramp that costs three mana or more is too much these days, so it's never been great there. Ceta Sanctuary is such a perfect draw spell for this deck. With Scion out it will always draw two cards every turn and discard any one card from our hand, which allows us to filter any dragons we draw into the graveyard where we can get them out more efficiently. Kudos to kookoo for this fabulous suggestion!
2) Scourge of Valkas OUT Lathliss, Dragon Queen IN
Scourge was always good mostly as a Fireball when you could mass reanimate it, and pretty bad in most other situations. If it is on the board and one dragon enters, that's at best doming something for two. In contrast, if Lathliss is out and a dragon enters we get a 5/5 dragon token. What's more to the point, if we mass reanimate Lathliss we'll get tokens for every other dragon, and if we have a haste enabler all of those tokens will be able to attack that turn.
3) Vorosh, the Hunter OUT Scalelord Reckoner IN
Reckoner has always been great, so I'm not sure why I took it out of the original deck. Knowing they'll get reciprocity for removal is always a good incentive for your opponents to leave you alone and try to politic instead. Vorosh was great if you could get the counters, have Scion stick around, and then use him with Skittles the next turn, but this was kind of a slow process with a lot of investment, which can be easily disrupted. Putting six counters on Scion has a way of putting more of a target on him due to the possibility of commander damage alone, so I think reckoner is a better card.
4) Ojutai, Soul of Winter OUT Old Gnawbone IN
Ojutai is a great disruptor and has salvaged a few iffy games for me in the past by freezing down my opponents, but it is in very particular situations that he helps us and in others it's not as good. Gnawbone gets us lots of treasure, and is a great first target for Scion, and can also hoard us resources on the board later in the game. Its just an all-star card that's good in every situation, and I had to put it in.
5) Crucible of Fire OUT Kairi, the Swirling Sky IN
Kairi just has so much utility that she's hard to pass up. She is a third protection target for Scion, which we definitely need, and can also provide great utility on board-wipes. Crucible is good and always better than you expect it to be, but it is the weakest link at this point.
6) Herald's Horn OUT Sakura-Tribe Elder IN
Horn is a great card, but not in this deck. It is best in tribal decks with cheap creatures where you can cast multiple spells a turn at a discount, and draw a card on one and three turns. I'll probably put it in my Trynn, Champion of Freedom and Silvar, Devourer of the Free deck where it will rock the house. Here it only draws a card one in four turns, and we would rather draw other cards than our dragons. As a ramp piece it doesn't help us cast Scion, hard-casting our dragons isn't a focus, and its not likely we'll be casting more than one. Good old Elder gets us a land for two mana, which is where we really need to be on ramp in this deck.
7) Maelstrom Archangel OUT Sylvia Brightspear IN
I've had Sylvia since Battlebond when I pull her from a pack and have always intended to put her in. Three mana to give all our dragons double-strike is a nasty surprise, and cheap enough that we can still activate Scion that turn. The low-end is probably when only Scion is out, but we play her and make Scion into a big dragon for a voltron kill. The high end is we play her when a bunch of dragons are on the board, or put her and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight on the board with Tooth and Nail, and relish our opponents' tears! Maelstrom Archangel is best if we can cast her when a haste enabler is out and immediately put a permanent on the battlefield. She is expensive to cast and a big removal target, and there will be plenty of times we don't have anything good to put on the board with her. I wish she was legendary and could be an angels tribal commander, but Sylvia will be better here.

kookoo That definitely could work, as could Spark Double and Sakashima of a Thousand Faces (who could also be used for neat tricks like using Teneb, the Harvester to reanimate himself). The difficulty is that we are fairly tight on slots already, and I am thinking about cutting Vorosh, the Hunter and maybe another card to put Scalelord Reckoner back in as well as maybe adding Kairi, the Swirling Sky and/or Iymrith, Desert Doom. Every dragon we cut from our toolbox leaves us without a tool that we can summon any time, so support pieces need to be really good in order to make it! Neat idea though!

I'm really happy I saw this, and this is a very generous offer, Azdranax. Thanks for putting this together!
I've designed way more decks than I've actually put together. At least three quarters of the decks I have on this site are more like wishlist items than anything I carry around. Also, I don't partake of Commander that often, and I want to improve. Between my job, the lack of LGSs in my area, and unreliable internet connections, I haven't played a match, paper or digital, since August 2019.
I tend toward different flavors of --Abzan, Golgari, or Sultai--and enjoy wars of attrition, using control or midrange. I love the feeling of knowing that my opponents threw everything they had at me, I faced the best they had to offer, and I came out on top. (I have to admit, I'm not good enough to get that feeling a lot of the time.) The Commander I've used the most is Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, followed by Vorosh, the Hunter.
Once again, thank you for your time and generosity, Azdranax. Best of luck to all, and an early congratulations to the winner!

Hey, well done with precon upgrade on a budget.
Scion of the Ur-Dragon is one of the best Dragons for Dragon tribal being a repeatable Dragon tutor. Scion could replace Wardscale Dragon. Scion's ability to change into a Dragon can be done at instant speed which means during combat you can change into different Dragons whenever there's a stop at a combat phase.
Scion's ability goes well with Savage Ventmaw, Teneb, the Harvester and Bladewing the Risen which is a three Dragon combo to end up with Scion and cheat Teneb/Bladewing on the battlefield. Then if Teneb lives he can reanimate other Dragons you tutor for with Scion. Savage is part of the combo because you tutor for him first with Scion, before you attack which then gives you 6 mana to activate Scion three times during combat. The combo takes 11 mana therefore Savage making 6 mana means you only need 5 mana for other sources. Would you like me to explain this combo?
Consider cutting a few of the least good Dragons for more Dragon support? Rhythm of the Wild and Temur Ascendancy are in the maybeboard and they could replace two Dragons such as Vorosh, the Hunter and Darigaaz Reincarnated. The repeatable effects of Rhythm and Ascendancy are much better than what these Dragons can provide. Faeburrow Elder is also in the maybeboard and it's a much better ramp source than Mana Geode. Crux of Fate and Eerie Ultimatum are also in the maybeboard they could replace Spit Flame and Palace Siege.
There's 20 lands here of the 36 that will always ETB tapped which is a lot. The Tri lands on a budget are worth always ETB tapped, the rest are not. My advice is cut the Bounce lands and Scry lands for other types of lands. The combination of lots of Tri lands and Bounce lands is not good; play either one, not both in the same manabase.
Exotic Orchard is budget staple Rainbow land. By adding a few more basic lands then the 5 Battle lands are budget options since they have interaction with lots of basic lands. Cinder Glade, Smoldering Marsh, Sunken Hollow, Prairie Stream, Canopy Vista, can get each of these for less than $2 at TCGPlayer with Vista being the most expensive.
Manabase upgrades to consider:
- Add 2x Forest > Temple of Malady and Temple of Triumph
- Exotic Orchard > Temple of Epiphany
- Cinder Glade > Gruul Turf
- Smoldering Marsh > Rakdos Carnarium
- Prairie Stream > Orzhov Basilica
- Sunken Hollow > Izzet Boilerworks
You have Farseek and it can search for one of these Battle lands which is helpful for color fixing.
Good luck with your deck.

Twisted Hunter
Legendary Creature - Dragon
Flying
When Twisted Hunter attacks, you may put a creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. If you do, put a +1/+1 counter on Twisted Hunter.
4/5
Combo of Teneb, the Harvester and Vorosh, the Hunter. Seems ridiculously overpowered.
Make a new commander that is good but not OP.

More dragons? If not, then just change your commander. Also, unless the worldgorger dragon is part of some kind of combo I don’t see, you should switch it out for something else. I’d recommend either Atarka, World Render , Drakuseth, Maw of Flames , or Vorosh, the Hunter

DiverDown Your so funny lmao xD
On another note I am planning on building a new deck but I am a bit lost on which next deck I want to build. It's going to be a 75% build meant to go against new players as all my other decks apparently are too oppressive or too fluid to bring against newbs.
So here is what I been thinking should I build a Akiri, Line-Slinger / Tymna the Weaver partners Aikido/Sunforger control build, Vorosh, the Hunter hyper aggro build, or rebuild my Bear tribal deck now with Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma instead of Yeva, Nature's Herald at the helm.
I'm also open to suggestions, but I'm less inclined to use popular commanders at my LGS or commanders my meta already has. Thanks in advance!
