Using the Draconic Domination Pre-con as a starting point, I'm trying to craft a graveyard centric Scion of the Ur-Dragon. I plan to buy Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon as soon as the funds are available to add to my deck.

Current plan is to get Scion out ASAP and then make use of his ability to fill up my graveyard and then use reanimation spells to start pumping them onto the battlefield while using Cloven Casting to maximize the amount of creatures I reanimate per turn. Alternate win conditions involve making use of either Dragon Tempest or Scourge of Valkas and then using a Patriarch's Bidding to deal enough damage to end the game.

Currently looking for suggestions as far as protecting my graveyard from a mass exile from Nihil Spellbomb, as well as which reanimation spells (preferably multicolor to activate Cloven Casting) work best for a deck like this. Potential creature cards would help as well, though preferably either Dragons or Changelings, so as to still keep Patriarch's Bidding as useful as possible. Finally, I'm looking for additional ways to get creatures into my graveyard quickly so I have a backup plan in the event Scion is sent back to the Command Zone.
