Legendary Creature — Dragon Avatar
Flying
: Search your library for a Dragon permanent card and put it into your graveyard. If you do, Scion of the Ur-Dragon becomes a copy of that card until end of turn. Then shuffle your library.

With Scion of the Ur-Dragon on the battlefield. Activate its ability, then hold priority to activate its ability again. With the first resolution, search Colossal Grave-Reaver. That card goes to the graveyard and Scion becomes a copy of it. With the second resolution, search any other legal option (doesn't matter what) Will Scion as a copy of Colossal Gravereaver have its ability trigger to return the second search creature to the battlefield before it becomes a copy of that creature?
Colossal Grave-Reaver is a new card with the text:
"Flying
Whenever this creature enters or attacks, mill three cards.
Whenever one or more creature cards are put into your graveyard from your library, put one of them onto the battlefield."

Using Scion of the Ur-Dragon's ability from a mutated creature will cause the mutated creature to become just a copy of the Dragon permanent card that you put into your graveyard while the ability was resolving. It will not retain any of the abilities it had from being a mutated creature.

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.

Oi!
Some synergies to consider: Cryptic Gateway, Ruby Medallion, Emerald Medallion, Nogi, Draco-Zealot, Sarkhan, Soul Aflame, Taigam, Ojutai Master, Guardian Project, Toski, Bearer of Secrets, Steely Resolve, Thornscape Familiar, Ancient Copper Dragon, Goldspan Dragon, Cavern-Hoard Dragon, Terror of the Peaks, Scion of the Ur-Dragon
I know most of these aren't Dragon's but when you're trying to quickly fill the field with a bunch of big ole chonkers, you need cost reduction and Ramp! I'd also recommend more Rocks and Dorks to that end, as well as a few and/or rituals. I could easily see this build being overwhelmingly threatening within the first 5 turns of the game if tweaked a bit.

May I suggest running Scourge of Valkas as a target for Scion of the Ur-Dragon, or Zirilan of the Claw?
You will have a near 50% chance to kill the entire table with Scourge of Valkas + Ancient Gold Dragon

Scion of the Ur-Dragon: Every. Dragon. Ever.

Hello! Thank you for the comment. There was a time, early in this deck's inception, where Teneb, the Harvester and a couple of Dragons with similarly-costed activated abilities were in the build. Over time, it became apparent that Teneb was never a target for Scion of the Ur-Dragon's activated ability. The deck continues to evolve, as more and more powerful Dragons are created constantly. The Dragon-pecking order is reassessed after each new set that releases, and it has become more strict and more difficult to earn a spot. We want Dragons that can deliver hay-makers to our opponents. Unfortunately, Teneb does not do this. Swinging for six points of damage and recurring a Dragon for a total of five mana (two for activating Scion and three for activating Teneb) is just not enough these days (frown).

Unfortunately, no. Scion of the Ur-Dragon's ability has an "until end of turn" duration. Scion's effect ends when the duration of the ability ends, which is at the end of the turn during which Scion's ability was activated. Even if the card is phased-out afterwards, it phases-in as Scion.

Unfortunately, no, but I wish it would! Once Scion of the Ur-Dragon becomes a copy of Ancient Gold Dragon, it loses its original activated ability, becoming an exact copy of AGD. Although Scion's ability can be activated in response to an activation (i.e. the Moltensteel Dragon + Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon combo), once Scion becomes a copy of a Dragon, that ability is lost until the next turn. That would be a sweet combo though!
