Gameplan

Loot and wheel dragons into the graveyard while digging deeper into our library. Ramp, cheat, or reanimate dragons into play. Win by turning big dragon bois sideways or wombo-combo if combat is too slow, utilizing Scion of the Ur-Dragon's toolbox of dragons, ending friendships along the way.

Melt faces

• Turn 'em sideways.

Wombo-Combo

• Infinite Damage: Scion of the Ur-Dragon + Scourge of Valkas/Terror of the Peaks + Activate Scion for Bladewing the Risen + Reanimate Bladewing the Risen
  • Tutor for Bladewing using Scion. Renaimate Bladewing the Risen. Sacrifice non-Scion Bladewing to legendary rule and use its ETB trigger to reanimate itself for infinite ETB triggers
• Extra attack steps: Hellkite Charger + Savage Ventmaw
• Savage Ventmaw discounts each extra attack step so it only costs 1 mana per Hellkite Charger activation.
• Instant Infect Kill (single opponent): Scion of the Ur-Dragon -> Moltensteel Dragon + Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon
• Pay 14 life. Remove a single opponent through infect damage, dependent on current life total.
• Instant Commander Damage Kill (single opponent): Scion of the Ur-Dragon -> Moltensteel Dragon + Atarka, World Render
• Pay 10 life. Remove a single opponent through commander damage, dependent on current life total.

Synergy

• Ramp: Savage Ventmaw + Sneak Attack or Savage Ventmaw + Scion of the Ur-Dragon
• Net 5 mana
• Ramp: Scion of the Ur-Dragon + Beledros Witherbloom
• Pay to 2 tutor, tap all lands to float, untap with Beledros. Can be done at instant speed for responses or sorcery to ramp.
• Cheat: Hellkite Courser + Sneak Attack or any reanimation
• Free Scion of the Ur-Dragon with haste
• Haste: Dragonlord Kolaghan + Patriarch's Bidding/Living Death
• Give mass reanimation haste. Can entomb Kolaghan with Scion if not already in the graveyard
• Damage: Terror of the Peaks + Patriarch's Bidding/Living Death
• Deal total power of reanimated dragons on ETB
