Everyone and their mother has a Scion deck, which typically fall into one of three categories: 5-Color Good Stuff, Dragon Cycles, or (S)crappy-Dragons-That-Happened-to-be-Available. This deck looks to maintain the dragon-tribal element of Scion decks without being held hostage to the "cycles" nonsense mindset. The dragons are split between being great tutor targets, and being great on-board dragons. The mana is the best configuration for Dragon-Scion as (almost) all the lands can firebreathe, yet will still consistently yield all five colors by turn five or four with a mana rock. Mist Dragon feels bad to play, but currently is the closest to an indestructible/hexproof dragon out there. It yearns to be upgraded by a better card.

Jade Orb of Dragonkind is looking more like it should be Jetmir's Garden.

Obsidian Obelisk is pretty good. There are 7 whiffs at the time of writing (mono-colored but not Red), and 16 hits that it works with. Don’t like that it can’t fire-breathe though. Could replace Skyclave Relic to cut mana costs.

Is Plaza of Heroes good in this deck? It casts Scion, can fire-breathe all fiery dragons, and can serve as protection in some circumstances. Worth thinking about at least. Exotic Orchard may be the weakest Rainbow right now. I'll test it for a while.

I'll comment that Wrathful Red Dragon is semi-tribal, but the card sucks unless you're building a Pyrohemia/Stuffy Doll style deck.

How often will Rith, Liberated Primeval trigger? The Ward is nice, but not particularly game-breaking, Scourge of Kher Ridges, Tyrant's Familiar, and Balefire Dragon all do. It can work with Dragon Tempest, Scourge of Valkas and Terror of the Peaks. I could try it over Chameleon Colossus perhaps.
