Hello All,
I just built my first EDH deck, went with Scion of the Ur-dragon deck. I love the deck, but find it is pretty susceptible to removal or board wipes on the commander (Very understandably, lol).
Anyone have good recommendations for dragons I can use the Scions ability on to fetch to either save the commander, or put me in a advantage position.
The only one I have found for a advantage position to removal is Yosei, the Morning Star, which will allow me to time walk.
Any suggestions are welcomed. No budget.
Thanks
Well, Scion of the Ur-Dragon is a huge target mostly because of Moltensteel Dragon (paired with Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon or Dragon Tyrant to one-shot one player. And, well, Scion is the commander for a Hermit Druid combo deck. Hermit Druid, by the way, uses the aforementioned Moltensteel Dragon as plan C. The other two plans basically involve vomiting your library into your graveyard and assembling a combo that way. So yeah, basically five-color dredge. Everyone just reflexively hates Scion now.
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
If you're looking for protection, you can start with black dragons, which stops a lot of black removal.
Scion is black. He already stops most black removal.
I totally derped there. But you can still use them after Moltensteel.

If not you could aways run counterspells
If you're looking for protection, you can start with black dragons, which stops a lot of black removal. Silumgar, the Drifting Death and Dragonlord Ojutai have hexproof.
On phasing:
Yes, it has to be a dragon so Scion can search for it.

Remember to run Wheel of the Sun and Moon so you can recycle your dragons.
Well that's your problem right there.
But run some hexproof/shroud dragons. Silumgar, ojutai.
