Aim

Scion of the Ur-Dragon lets you find the answer (in dragon form) to win the games, however it leaves what it finds in the graveyard.

As such the best way to capitalize on this is to reanimate the threats/answers that have been found, effectively making the curated graveyard an extension of your hand. This provides the benefit of not only having increased card selection but also cost reduction as reanimation spells are significantly easier to cast than the dragons they are reanimating.

Given reanimating dragons from the graveyard is a key feature in the deck, cards that provide a way to go from library to graveyard are also beneficial e.g. Faithless Looting, Smuggler's Surprise, Sultai Ascendancy, etc.

Given Scion is 5 colours a large proportion of the mana base is centred around colour fixing, some of which actually aids getting dragons into the graveyard such as Mulch and Grisly Salvage.

Once set up with Scion, some of the answers cards to common threats include:

Balefire Dragon: Remove an opponent's board presence.

Atarka, World Render: Win quickly via commander damage.

Tyrant's Familiar: Targeted removal.

Dragonlord Silumgar: Gain control of a threat.

Hellkite Tyrant: Gain control of artifact ramp, equipment or abilities.

Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm: Double things up.

Nicol Bolas: Card denial.

Numot, the Devastator: Land denial.

The Ur-Dragon: Draw, cheat out dragons and lots of damage.
