Background

My quest for unlimited power transformed my original Draconic Domination Precon into a combo packed reanimator list headed by Scion of the Ur-Dragon. I thrived in my the success of my decklist, but I realized my newfound power bought me many enemies. The Scion of the Ur-Dragon was so potent that he was consistently targeted to the point that I realized my deck had really turned into the commander dependent deck archetype I despised most: Voltron. I hated how polarizing my deck was. I wallowed in my own self anguish for months until I began to hear whispers... I thought these to be whispers of my own subconscious which sought to bring about the Return of the Ur-Dragon. But I realized the voices could be none of than the whispers of the Ur-Dragon, which came slowly like a trickle of water seeping through a crack that inevitably escalated into an unrelenting torrent of raw experience and research. The Ur-Dragon promised me power, tempting my insatiable appetite for strength and speed. The dark whispers of the Ur-Dragon came from every direction and echoed throughout my room and mind; it clawed at my sanity until I could resist no longer. The budgetary limits I placed upon myself waned and then shattered. With my self imposed seals of power restriction broken, I couldn't help but fall victim to my most basic instincts. I had become a shell of my former self who obsessed over one purpose: to seek to empower myself beyond what I thought possible no matter the price. I traveled to the darkest corners of TCGplayer, Card Kingdom, and Facebook Marketplace, and I ascended into the pantheon of degenerate legends who thrive in the terrible plane of existence mere mortals call CEDH. This decklist is the current iteration of my original dragon deck: Scion of the Win Button, and it seeks to win at all costs. I've tossed aside my dignity as a dragon player by discarding the best of dragons in favor of speed, consistency, and potency.

Winning Combos

  1. Niv-Mizzet + Curiosity Effect We draw combo pieces and counterspells while dealing lethal damage from our entire deck using a Niv-Mizzet + Curiosity effect where Niv-Mizzet is Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius, Niv-Mizzet, Parun, or Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind and Curiosity effect is Curiosity, Ophidian Eye, Keen Sense, or Tandem Lookout.

  2. Worldgorger Dragon + Animate Dead Generate infinite mana using Worldgorger Dragon + Necromancy or Dance of the Dead or Animate Dead. Once we have infinite mana, we can summon Scion of the Ur-Dragon and transform it into a mana outlet like Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius or infinite combat step Hellkite Charger to deal lethal damage.

  3. Thassa's Oracle + Tainted Pact Cast Tainted Pact or Demonic Consultation while Thassa's Oracle is on the stack to win the game. Can use Neoform to tutor for Thassa's Oracle.
