Deck Description

Scion EDH. I deck I plan to work on later once I get all/most of the cards I need, which sadly require money. I posted this for my friend (thalthos) who wanted to help me on this deck. So yeah.

How to Play

Scion. Play it from command zones, mill dragons (first ones should be haste dragons), and then gain control with the dragons (or living death for kicks LOLZ). Anyway, you could also reanimate the dragons you WILL MILL WITH SCION!!! (Just wanted to point out).

Deck discussion for Scion EDH

i'm going straight down and making sugestions as i go. as i write i know nothing of what come later

drop manalith for coalition relic. drop bogardan hellkite (i'll list filler at the end). drop teneb. drop rites of flourishing. drop scuttlemutt (i think that was out of order, but idc). drop mizzium skin. drop all 4 planeswalkers. drop exhume. drop life's finale. drop living death. drop obliterate. drop guildgates (consider them again after dragon's maze). drop exotic orchard.

alright. that wasn't too bad.

add the reanimating nephalim from the original ravinica (when he attacks reanimating shenanigins come forth). add brawn to help you connect. add kaalia for the trollz. add rhystic study. add sylvan primordial. add time stretch. add sensei's devining top (drop this if you want, idc). add consecrated sphinx. add reflecting pool (this should be the first land on the decklist of every edh deck with a multicolored commander. and then command tower). add vorinclex. add mana reflection. add true conviction (now everyone hates you). add the oldest and the newest lilianas. add vampiric tutor and demonic tutor (always find that nephalim. always.) add wound reflection. add rage reflection. add immortal servitude (i just want to try this really badly). add debtor's knoll (your second best tutor target). add mirari's wake. add maelstrom wanderer. add balefire dragon.

some things i should have had you drop:

snapcsater (da fuq?) all the reanimating instant/sorceries (other than unburial rites. flashback = :)) drop dragon tyrant. drop the basics. drop krosan verge. drop all of the mana dorks. drop cultivate and rampant growth. drop nicol bolas. drop jin gitaxis.

with all that out of the way spice up your lands. here's my policy for decks like this:

run each guild's shockland (already on the list), dual land (those really expensive ones from alpha/beta), and split land (from eventide/morningtide/lorwyn/shadowmoor)

we already have the 5 vivid's, command tower, and now reflecting pool, bringing us up to 37 lands if i was counting correctly

from there toss in your choice of utilities (vault is the first that comes to mind).

some things if you have room: vela, chaos warp, duplicant, loyal retainers, iona, angelic arbiter.

remember: the key to this deck is attacking, being unblocked, and then choosing your target dragon at instant speed to respond to and ultimatly lock down your opponent. select board wipes (balefire dragon + true conviction = <3) when needed, damage when needed, land destruction when needed, etc. remember that the key is being unblocked, and that you can only make him a copy of something else for a turn.

also, in the next block i want a white planeswalker whose final is "you get an emblem with 'instants and sorceries you control have lifelink' and 'whenever you gain life, you may draw a card'"-chad

I agree with most of the advice except:

cards I'm not sure about taking out:

teneb - why? He reanimates dragons. So why?
exhume - reanimator? HELLO!?
living death - wtf? You bring back ALL DRAGONS YOU MILLED WITH SCION!!!
obliterate - awww. I can't piss all of you off at the last moment?
exotic orchard - let's not forget that this is scion. Has all colors, so all lands my opponents control are going to have a color I will most likely want (most likely 2 colors). It still can pivot as a good mana land.

cards I'm not sure I want in:

sensei's devining top - worth like $25. fuck no.
demonic tutor - good, but worth too much.
wound reflection - ?
debtor's knoll - there is no knoll. da fuq are you talking about?
maelstorm wonderer - ohhh....looks fancy. (looks at price: $8) oh.

you said drop the snapcaster mage?

more cards I don't agree with:

Nicol bolas - you mean the one you suggested to me the other day?
jin gitaxis - meh.

Yeah hopefully I'll get every shock land ever (actually, dragon's maze. hm.)

Reflecting pool - hopefully it's not too expensive.

Vela - alright, decent

Chaos warp - why?

May have sounded like I was rood but I agree with most of this information, so thanks.

Chad, you're an idiot.
