I've been pretty successful so far with this scion build. Most of the sideboard stuff I don't have yet but will slowly acquire. I'm trying to get as many different combo's for Scion into one deck. The most difficult matches I've faced so far are the ones with turn 2-4 infinite combo's to the win and control/mill decks have been pretty successful against me. Any help would be appreciated.

Combos I like to use are:

Cast Scion of the Ur-Dragon with 5 mana left over or have haste cards in the works with 4 mana. Then go for Moltensteel Dragon on scions first activation lose 12 life and gain 6 "+1" on scion until end of turn. Then I activate scion again before i attack and bring out Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon and hit an oppenent who cant block for 10 infect killing them off.

Next, if someone or even me has another creature in a graveyard i will cast scion for 5, activate his ability and get Worldgorger Dragon into the graveyard. I will then use Animate Dead on Worldgorger in the graveyard to bring him to the battlefield. Once Worldgorger ETB effects trigger i send all my permanents to exile along with Animate Dead. Then Animate Dead triggers when it leaves the battlefield and sacrifices worldgorger. Then worldgorger second ability triggers bringing all my permanents back to the field. I tap all of them for mana and then attach animate dead to worldgorger again. I do this 70 million times to give me as much mana as i want and then attach animate dead to an oppenents creature in their graveyard or one of my own besides worldgorger. Now i have a bunch of mana i use scions ability to bring out Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius and activate his ability to deal as much damage as i want to the enemies.

If i have Scion of the Ur-Dragon out or have haste for scion effect i will cast him, then I will use his ability to grabNiv-Mizzet, the Firemind if i have Curiosity or Ophidian Eye in my hand I can I will attach them to Niv-Mizzet and tap him to draw a card and then Niv-mizzet will trigger and then curiosity and back and forth until i run out of cards. Once im done i will usually leave 10 cards in my library and discard the cards i dont like and keep the 7 i do. In that seven and if i have the mana left over i will cast either Feldon's Cane and tap to return my graveyard into my library. And if i found the ophidian eye in all that card drawing or curiosity if i didnt use one or the other to start with i can activate again on my next turn. Also if i have alot of mana i can use Time Reversal once i draw all my cards and cast it as well. I can also use Living death once all my cards are in my graveyard to bring all my creatures to the battlefield to wreck face next turn.

Also if i can get my Scion of the Ur-Dragon to 11 damage with him copied as Moltensteel Dragon or Steel Hellkite or use enchantments or equipements and then use Scion's ability. Then use Scion's ability or just have Atarka, World Render on the field to deal 22 commander damage to someone.

I will also The Ur-dragon with Atarka, World Render or Scourge of the Throneor Dragon Tyrant to deal 20 commander damage or even more if i have any dragon buffs out.

Also i am planning to use The Ur-Dragon with enchantments or sorceries that give him infect to do a one strike kill. Example of those cards will be Phyresis or Tainted Strike or Glistening Oil

I will also use Ramos, dragon engine with Door to nothingness to kill off an opponent when i can trigger Ramos's counter removal ability

In the event I'm facing some mean artifact decks and i have Phyrexian Metamorph i will use scion's ability to bring out Hellkite Tyrant, then cast phyrexian to copy hellkite tyrant. Hopefully i have some haste ogiving effect out there will use both of them to steal two players artifacts. Those artifacts combined with my own may hit the magic number of 20 and win the game. I could also do the same if i can get Scourge of the throne out before i copy and hellkite tyrant and get two attack phases with him.
