Alright, so this is my first go at a five color deck. My previous commander was Narset, Enlightened Master, and after playing her for awhile she just got boring. Same combo, over and over again. I figured the thing with five colors is I can run any combo I want. And I love dragons (who doesn't) so Scion of the Ur-Dragon it was!

So I built this sort of as a tool box deck. Depending on the board state and the cards in hand, there are a lot of different things to do. I'll start with Scion. He himself tutors dragons, but he can only take the shape of that dragon until the end of turn. So I wanted dragons that give useful static and activated abilities. Such as haste like with Hellkite Overlord. Or hexproof like Dragonlord Ojutai. Or if someone boardwipes you can punish them with Yosei, the Morning Star. Also with Xenagos, God of Revels, you not only get haste, but a nice pump into lethal range with a quick change to Atarka, World Render or Dragon Tyrant.

Quick useful combos

Use Scion's ability twice, once in response to the first. First resolution choose Moltensteel Dragon, respond again with his damage buff pay 12 life for +6+0, then when the second scion ability resolves, choose Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon and hit a player with 10 infect. Haha

Savage Ventmaw + Aggravated Assault for infinite combats

Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind + Curiosity draw infinite times, deals damage for each individual draw.

Bloom Tender + Umbral Mantle infinite mana of any color

Worldgorger Dragon + Animate Dead + an additional creature in the grave = infinite mana

Vorinclex, The voice of Hunger + Palinchron infinite mana of any color, a great result of Tooth and Nail

If you have two out of the three between Vorinclex, Palinchron, or Eternal Witness, if you take the other two with Tooth and Nail search for the other two, gain infinite mana, then use eternal witness to recur and recast Tooth. One tooth and nail should damn near win you the game, two is just icing on the cake.

Another possible combo to use with either Patriarch's Bidding or Living Death plus infinite mana, is to cast scion, use his ability to dump every dragon into the grave, then cast your mass animation spell. The only one you don't want with the others is Worldgorger Dragon, but if he is in there, have him hit first. Then Scourge of Valkas. Each dragon triggers scourge a separate time. Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund gives them all haste, so you can finish off survivors. Not to mention by attacking you'll trigger Utvara Hellkite triggering your scourge yet another time. The ways you want to win are commander damage, infect damage, infinite combats, or mass reanimation.

So yeah, Scion of the Ur-Dragon can harness the power of all dragons and can even summon a massive dragon army from the grave. Some might call him the bringer of the end times. And by some I mean nords.

I'm looking for advice on replacing any dead draws I have or any win more cards I have. Also any more quick and easy combos would be great. No hermit though. Also if there are better lands I could utilize with cool useful effects.

So far playtesting with my current meta I'm 4-1 in 1 on 1, and 2-1 in multiplayer. Both losses were incredibly close. Having multiple dragons hit the field with Patriarch's Bidding or Living Death happened more frequently than I thought it would and Jesus is it powerful. Even without them playing several dragons from my hand and turning Scion into Karrthus off infinite mana netted a win for me. Having a lot of easy 2 card combos here gives me consistent and multiple win cons. I have a few upcoming tournaments I will be attending 1 on 1 and pods and I will update with my performance.
