Goblin Recruiter, perhaps?

Hellkite Charger always seems like a nice one to have, too. Especially with Old Gnawbone, Savage Ventmaw and to a lesser extent, Goldspan Dragon.

I like how you play Xenagos with smaller creatures and pump spells. Very aggro combat trick based deck, it's enjoyable. Here are some thoughts for cards under $5...

Creatures

Eternal Witness - Recursion is nice

Savage Ventmaw - Combo with aggravated assault or just value on it's own.

Siege Behemoth/Carnage Tyrant > Kodama - Kodama has shroud so you can't target it. Siege has hexproof so you can, and a relevant ability.

Misc

Greater Good - Best card in Xenagos, even with low stat creatures. Pump them up with commander, maybe even another pump spell and then you can sacrifice them in response to removal to get draw/virtual + actual card advantage, fill your GY, as well as preventing theft and exile!

Rancor - Reuseable cheap buff

Rishkar's Expertise - While not entirely serious given your set up, despite being risky, it can pack a pump. Refueling hand and adding tempo? Sign me up

Return of the Wildspeaker - Can be used as draw or buff. It is expensive for sure, but worth considering.

Three Visits > Rampant growth - Three visits can grab duel type forest/mountain lands

Speaking of lands, there are some potential lands I can show you should you wish. Looking forward to your response.

Sounds like an honest answer to me...

I stand by my beloved and deadly combo, which was to swing with Savage Ventmaw to float the mana. Then cast Howl of the Horde into See the Unwritten

Now you've already had combat for the turn, but if you build for ETB effects such as Warstorm Surge and Elemental Bond, things get really interesting, really fast...

So like I can't choose Savage Ventmaw because it doesn't have "Dragon" in it's name, but The Ur-Dragon would suffice?

NV_1980 definitely love Savage Ventmaw especially with Aggravated Assault Infinite mana and turns

This looks great! In order to not get mana-screwed on certain colors in a five-color deck, I think Chromatic Lantern, Prismatic Omen or Dryad of the Ilysian Grove could be good in here. I'd also say Savage Ventmaw synergizes well with some of what you seem to be aiming for (like infinite attacks).

The mawship

{4}

Legendary Artifact - Vehicle Treasure Shapeshifter

Crew 5

{T}, sacrifice this Artifact: add three mana of any colour

The mawship can be your commander

Whenever a creature you control dies, put a +1/+1 counter on ~. Then, you may pay {BG}. If you do, create an 3/3 shapeshifter Artifact creature token.

Menace, trample

8/8

The funny thing is, the only mimic we’ve got is a treasure, soooooo

Anyways, the challenge is to create a card based off of a tappedout user. If you’re out of ideas, create one based on yourself. Also, if you are made into a card, tell them how good you think it is. Here’s an example

TypicalTimmy, Ventmaw Enthusiast

{3}{R}{G}

Legendary creature - human researcher

2rg: create a 4/4 red and green dragon creature token with flying, trample and "when this creature attacks, add {R}{G}. You don't lose this mana as steps and phases end" named young ventmaw

Rrrggg: put a +1/+1 counter on all creatures you control named young ventmaw or Savage Ventmaw. Create a token enchantment with "creatures named young ventmaw or savage ventmaw have "when this creature attacks, add {R}{G}. You don't lose this mana as steps and phases end"

3/3

Rhadamanthus on Commander format : Is scion …

You can use double square brackets around a card's name to create a reference link: Scion of the Ur-Dragon, Savage Ventmaw, Old Gnawbone. It's the best way to make sure everyone understands what's going on in the question.

No, it won't work that way. Scion of the Ur-Dragon's ability doesn't create an extra copy of the dragon you choose, rather it makes Scion become a copy of that dragon until end of turn. When Scion becomes a copy, it will just be that dragon and won't have its normal printed abilities or the printed abilities from something else it may have been a copy of earlier in the turn.

You can use Scion's ability in a way that makes it become multiple other dragons in sequence, but in the end it will just be one of them, not all of them. Sometimes this can be useful, like in a combo where you activate Scion, immediately respond by activating it again, get Moltensteel Dragon with the first activation that resolves, respond by pumping up its power before the other Scion activation resolves, and then for the other Scion activation get Dragon Tyrant/Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon and the +X/+0 effect you created will carry over. In your example, there's nothing that will carry over between Savage Ventmaw and Old Gnawbone.
