So I'm basically making this from scratch. At its completion i hope to play it at tournaments.
Scion has come a long way. It has several tastey interactions like Hermit Druid + mass res
Moltensteel Dragon
scion OHKO,
Molten Skittles (Scion into Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon into Moltensteel Dragon ),
The Hoverbear: Hellkite Charger + Bear Umbra
and several other nice tricks to boot.
This is what i've got so far, all advice is apreciated...
Tournament Results!
Saturday july 28, the league at Murray State University held an EDH event where 8 people showed up.
I won in my pod of 4 players. My opponents were wunning Omnath, Mimeoplasm, and Jor Kadeen. Lots of eldrazi hit the field after a kicked Rite of Replication on omnath's pathrazwe of ulamog, Mimeoplasm was looking very threatening.
I ended up winning because I was able to pull off the Hoverbear combo, [hellkite charger + Bear Umbra
The people who moved on agreed to split the prize, so we played a massive multiplayer match that was completely derp and epic at the same time.
I haven't updated in awhile, but Scion has been ever changing.
I've worked on the mana base, adding shocks and some rocks,card advantage is at an all time high with Sensei's Divining Top
Took out cards that didn't really fit, some players will be relieved to see Magister Sphinx go.
Added tutors like lilliana vess and Worldly Tutor and also upgraded to a Demonic Tutor
New Toy: So I got this card called Hermit Druid . I run 5 basic lands in the deck and if I get good results with this guy, I may end up replacing them.
Hermit Druid allows me to self- mill in the early game, hopefully putting a ton of dragons in my graveyard to reanimate as early as turn 3 if I have the mana.
I put in some nifty, cheap utility recursion to go with this.
Life from the Loam
and Crop Rotation
for landsNoxious Revival
gets back anything I need for freeeee!
One thing I need to fit in here is a Kozilek, Butcher of Truth or a Reminisce
Pretty much a small overhaul after recieving a large collection of cards from SardonRayne.
Removal was upgraded by adding Path to Exile in place of pacifism and Day of Judgment , a more efficiant nuke than the old Hour of Reckoning.
Control was beefed up with the additions of Spell Crumple and Counterspell .
A few goodies in the toy box include Nevinyrral's Disk , Sunforger , and Temporal Aperture .
Chandra joins the Callback list as Garruk Wildspeaker ramps into a tryout for a spot.
Added Quicksilver Dragon as a scion target. Other guests include Body Double , Steel Hellkite , and, Rafiq of the Many
Also added more reanimation in hte form of Animate Dead , Living Death , and Beacon of Unrest
Jace Beleren better start filing for unemployment because Chandra Nalaar just proved herself more than a worthy addition.
With her come some new recruits. Welcome Fauna Shaman and Phyrexian Metamorph !
Added all the basic lands so now I have a total of 35.
-took a gamble by taking out Beacon of Unrest
. Opinions or advice on that move would be nice.
Also added more recursion in the form of Sheoldred, Whispering One , and Patriarch's Bidding
New Recruits: Dragon Tyrant
I thought about throwing my Worldgorger Dragon in. Bolas just wasn't doing it though. I love the infinite mana with worldgorger though, so I might flop around some ideas. Thanks :D
not enough dragons
Could you elaborate?
then again, I love aggro; here's mine - Smaug's Spectrum Alliance

I would add Worldgorger Dragon . All you need to do is have Necromancy , Animate Dead or Dance of the Dead in hand, cast scion, put Worldgorger Dragon in the grave with scion's ability, then cast one of those reanimators on him and get infinite mana! Which you can of course use through Shivan Hellkite to win the game. Nicol Bolas would be good too.
