This is not a deck of my creation, it was created by Pyromancer244 of MTG Salvation. I really liked it and wanted to share it with you all. If you have any suggestions please post them here and on MTG Salvation, so Pyromancer244 can see them as well.

I highly doubt in the average game Training Grounds will save close to as much mana as Sol Ring would generate. I have a friend running a similar version and he ran a test where every time Training Grounds was out and he utilized the ability would he be better off with Fellwar Stone, and after something like 20 games he said Fellwar generated considerably more mana than Training Grounds saved. Given that Sol Ring is quite a bit better than Training Grounds I'd say it's doubly true. It's fairly easy to test, though. Do the same mental game, and whenever you drop a Training Grounds on every turn ask if you'd get more benefit from a Sol Ring. I'd wager 90% of the time the answer is yes.No room for Greater Good? Even if you never use it besides in response to a board wipe or targeted removal it almost always is a bomb in a deck with this many fat-ass creatures.Command Tower and Exotic Orchard would be great lands here.

Thank you for the feed back. I did remove Training Ground and added Sol Ring. I just like Sol Ring so much better. Are you saying I should find room for Greater Good or that there is no room for it?
I think you should add it. I ran Atarka dragons for awhile, and it takes the sting off a Doom Blade or something when you can draw 6 cards off it, or 18 off a board wipe, etc. Maybe in the place of one of the weaker dragons?Also, Hero's Downfall does the same work as Ruinous Path at instant speed. Instant seems more useful than Awaken on a sorcery. Wear and Tear is useful, but in a format with Theros gods and Blightsteel Colossus and Darksteel whatever I'd be tempted to run Return to Dust in that slot. One mana more but you have the flexibility to hit two artifacts or two enchantments if need be, and it's an exile effect so you can hit indestructible stuff and it prevents graveyard recursion.
Made made all the changes you suggested thanks for the help. I'm currently testing the deck on untap.in
Good luck with it! Also just so you know Scion's ability works even if the creature doesn't go to the graveyard. So if someone has a Rest in Peace or Leyline of the Void or whatever in play, you can still make Scion become a copy of the dragon. All that matters is you attempt to put the card in the graveyard. If a replacement effect exiles it it doesn't matter as you've fulfilled all the steps you were obligated to attempt to fulfill. It might never come up, but my meta runs a lot of graveyard hate and my friend has had it pop up on a few occasions:http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/magic-fundamentals/magic-rulings/magic-rulings-archives/528272-scion-of-the-ur-dragon-rest-in-peace
I got it, so even if someone tries to exile your graveyard in response, you've still paid the 2 to search your library for the dragon and placed it into the graveyard. So the card gets exiled but you still make the copy.
Yep. It even works if the effect is already in place, too. So even if they have any card placed in the graveyard get exiled you can still make it work. The only way to really lock the ability out is to prevent library searching.
