If you use Scion tutor ablitity to find Destructor does Destructor's ability trigger?

Please link to cards in your question.

Scion of the Ur-Dragon

Destructor Dragon

If Scion becomes a copy of Destructor Dragon, and it dies, you may destroy target noncreature permanent.

BUT: If Scion of the Ur-Dragon is you commander and you put it into the command zone instead of the graveyard, the ability will NOT trigger, because it didn't die.

And because it kinda sounds like you read Destructor Dragon as an enter-the-battlefield ability: If you make Scion of the Ur-Dragon into a copy of dragon with an etb ability (eg Bogardan Hellkite), this ability will not trigger, because the Ur-Dragon never changed zones.

To me it sounds like you are asking if Destructor Dragon is put into the graveyard due to Scion of the Ur-Dragon's abillity, you get to destroy a noncreature permanent.

If this is the case then the answer is no!

To cite the Comprehensive rules:

700.4. The term dies means “is put into a graveyard from the battlefield.”

Seeing as Destructor Dragon goes straight from the library to the graveyard, according to the rules, it did not die.
