I really wanted to play U/R/B/G but there are no generals with only those colors, so I went 5-color. I then met Scion of the Ur-Dragon and created my favorite deck of all time... Meet "Sciontology"...

1. Ramp/artsy up some mana.
2. Get Scion of the Ur-Dragon into play.
3. Start pinging Scion of the Ur-Dragon for his fetch/copy and pounding out some commander damage.
4. Use the reanimation cards to play dragons from graveyards for up to half their mana costs. Bladewing the Risen also helps with this.
5. Rite of Replication is handy for copying Utvara Hellkite and Scourge of Valkas (among others).
6. Once your board is set, Bounce Sarkhan the Mad a time or two with his finisher (sometimes hitting for 60+ damage).
7. Kaalia of the Vast - Why not?
8. Counters are really here for one thing... preventing board wipes (except for Supreme Verdict, of course). In that case, you can save what you wish with the Chain of Vapor or let it happen and start over.
9. Be hated by your playgroup. :)

Special thanks to Kozelek for his help in putting this deck over the top!
