One of the most feared and hated commanders, Scion, shapeshifts into all the different dragons you could possibly need to solve every situation.

This is a potent deck focused on inflicting lots of commander damage/infect. Can also combo of with Niv-Mizzet+Ophidian Eye/Curiosity and other stuff.

I have been working on this deck for almost three years and have gathered inspiration from a lot of other Scion primers and similar decks. So I don't take credit for much of the concept and only a few card choices.

Started out with a lot of graveyard recursion and lots of more dragons, but I don't think that's a winning strategy. It's also more vulnerable to graveyard hate. So I switched all that out and kept only the key dragons. Instead added removal, a few counters and acceleration. Also added a couple more tutors, for added consistency and more protective equipment to secure Scion, once he hits the board.

I made the choice to cut all basic lands. Maybe this is a gamble, since Blood Moon is a real thing, but I hope that by the time that cat gets out of the bag, I have answers to it, or enchantments of my own that grants me mana of all colors. Also, I had this dream of playing five color Commander with all the ABUR-duals, all the fetches and all the shocklands. And finally I could afford to buy them all. Added one forest just in case, so I can play some of my most important mana fixers/creatures, even if the Blood Moon rises...

Please leave comments if you want, every piece of advice that can help the deck improve is welcome :-)
