    Looks solid. Admittedly, I've never playe with or against Sion of the Ur Dragon, so your guess ius a good as mine if this will pan out. Your manafixing looks really good, except its really slow. Slow enough to consider Amulet of Vigor. And maybe a trinket mage. Also, Teeka's Dragon combined with a few Lure effects seems like an easy way to close out a game. Looks like a really fun deck. Let me know how it worked out.
    • Pierce | 11-Aug-2014 01:15
      What I love most about this deck, is how it seems like a perfect mixing of my playstyle. Big DRAGONS to go "TIMMAY!!", but also a lot more synergy and tricks, too. I can change into Quicksilver Dragon and redirect a removal spell. I can change into one of the dragons with Regenerate for a board wipe, or to Yosei or Kokusho if he has to die. Cards like Spellbound Dragon and Brainstorm let me make use out of expensive "dead" cards in my hand. I can pump first and then transform again to a creature with trample, like Dragon Tyrant. I can use Stormbreath to go unblocked and then morph to Nicol Bolas, or one of the several other dragons with abilities upon combat damage. And of course, this deck is a reanimator deck in disguise!
      • Quincy Norton | 11-Aug-2014 23:22
        Also, Scroll Rack is super abusable in this deck. Don't like your hand? Put it on top, shuffle with Scion, and Presto! Enjoy your new hand.
        • Quincy Norton | 11-Aug-2014 23:25
          Also lets you put a dragon back into the deck, so the Scion can transform into it. Just sayin.
          • Pierce | Edited 13-Aug-2014 02:51
            Super good idea. But that card costs $$...


            But I can spend 2 mana to cast Slave of Bolas, or another sorcery, at instant speed. So that's pretty cool.
            • Quincy Norton | 13-Aug-2014 03:45
              Thought you had a Scroll Rack, my bad.
              • Quincy Norton | 13-Aug-2014 03:56
                Oh, and make room for a Chameleon Colossus. Yes, it works. :)
                • Pierce | 13-Aug-2014 17:36
                  Good idea. As for the scroll rack, I do have one. -One-. Which the Melek deck absolutely needs so much I have 3 cards in the deck whose purpose is to find it.
                  It's nice for this deck. It's necessary for Melek.
    • Pierce | 13-Aug-2014 03:06
      Which card do you think is weaker, Numot or Oros?
      I think I want to take one out for another mana purpose card.


      On the same note, got a vote for the following?:
      Gem of Becoming (i'd have to add an island shock-land, doable)
      Peregrination
      Unexpected Results
      or a good one you've thought of?
      • Quincy Norton | 13-Aug-2014 03:56
        Oros is ok, but Numot will make you a public enemy really fast. Use either at your own discretion(My reccomendation is to remove the Etched Monstrosity, unless I'm missing some form of synergy). As to the ramp spell, Far Wanderings is a card thats off the beaten path that seems fine-to-superb in this deck. Skyshroud Claim is a personal favorite of mine; Wayfarers Bauble is super reliable, even if its not particularly flashy.
        • Quincy Norton | 13-Aug-2014 04:17
          Coldsteel Heart will also allow you to activate Rimescale Dragon. Thran Turbine enables a free Scion activation, but not much else. Burgeoning, and it's brother, Exploration, are also strong options. Bloom Tender is great, but will cost you. Joiner Adept isn't ramp, but does what it does very well, same with Krosan Restorer, Skyshroud Elf, and Birds of Paradise.
          • Pierce | 13-Aug-2014 17:57
            Thanks for showing me Coldsteel Heart. Cool card. Ultimately though I want to minimize my mana rocks and eliminate mana dorks. The reason: they die. For this deck I want the stability of good old fashioned land.
            Exploration and Burgeoning are really good ramp cards, but they don't fix my mana.
            You did just remind me of Krosan Tusker, though, which seems rather attractive. I'm also considering that Skyshroud Claim you mentioned, or rather, its upgrade Hunting Wilds.
            • Quincy Norton | 14-Aug-2014 04:34
              Hunting Wilds puts the lands in tapped, Skyshroud Claim does not. Not strictly better.
              • Pierce | 14-Aug-2014 05:36
                Very good point that I didn't notice. Thank you!
        • Pierce | 13-Aug-2014 17:46
          Etched Monstrosity is a not-small affordable creature that gets big and nets me 3 cards later. No particular synergy, just a very good card that most decks can't use.


          I considered Far Wanderings, but I don't want to spend 3 mana for a worse Farseek. And although I'm running a deck that could activate Threshold, by the time it would be activated I need the land less, methinks. I'd rather go with a card that reliably would get me card advantage. On that same note, that's why I wouldn't run Wayfarers Bauble.
          Skyshroud Claim is good, but I'm running 5 colors and not that many forests...
          • Quincy Norton | 14-Aug-2014 04:38
            Remember it can grab Stomping Grounds, and their ilk. Also, with your higher-than-usual mana costs, running Recross the Paths is a fun, affordable, and powerful card. On a similar note, Spring Cleaning is a card wothy of your attention.
            • Pierce | 14-Aug-2014 05:40
              I like Recross the Paths a lot. I wanted to put it in, but it doesn't fix mana, which is uber important for a 5-color deck, so it got the axe.
              And yes, with the high mana cost of the deck, clash is pretty good ^_^.
