~Dragon toolbox~

The deck mostly wins by pure dragon beatdown with a solid amount of ramp to keep the fuel going. Casting the commander typically draws a lot of aggro from the table so I only cast it with at least 2 mana open to protect it. Protective dragons include ojutai, mist dragon, silumgar the drifting death, and stormbreath dragon though I've also got protection in the form of swiftfoot boots and asceticism. Keiga and Kokusho are also pseudo-protection because players that know the deck are wary to destroy scion when they know I could still a creature or gain a bunch of life. Scion dying also isn't a big deal because there's a decent amount of reanimator in the deck (thinking of adding more).

The deck contains a few very powerful combos that can end a game pretty quickly but unless I draw into those the name of the game is dragon beatdown. Cast scion, put 2 activations of its ability on the stack, becomes moltensteel dragon and pay 12 life for +6/+0, becomes skithiryx and pay B for haste and swing for 10 infect. This can happen from an empty board (just need WUBBRG4) and its super easy to pull off in 1 vs. 1.

Outside of 1 vs. 1 this combo leaves me pretty vulnerable so instead I cast scion and hold off on mana in pairs of 2. This way I can dump a dragon/turn into the yard while holding up protection. All I need to reanimate are atarka, scourge of the throne, and karrthus to kill 2 players from 40 in a single turn.
