Hmmm, can Scion activate its ability, then respond to that by activating its ability, then... (as long as you have the mana)
You only copy the very last dragon, but you draw a whole bunch of dragons out of your deck into the more easily accessible graveyard.
I'm probably thinking along wrong lines here.

@ Conical: He just enters the battlefield treated as a new copy of Scion.

This is absolutely brilliant with channel the suns and Nicol Bolas (the original) in your deck.

I have an EDH of this guy as my general, and i usually search for Vorosh first then either Dragon Tyrant or Skithiryx for the win.

when you have such a creature that can pull out of your deck every little *** combo of a race (not a weak tribe by the way) you cant say something bad about

I wanted to clarify a few things here. It IS possible to put multiple triggers of Scion's ability on the stack. This has both practical applications and sometimes fatal ones for your opponent. For example, in EDH you can have him attack as your general, put several of his triggers on the stack (lets say Moltensteel Dragon and Dragon Tyrant), pay life to pump him when his first trigger resolves and he becomes Moltensteel Dragon, then allow him to hit as Dragon Tyrant with Double Strike for a quick victory.
The situation which is currently being discussed on this forum about Scion and Teneb, the Harvester does not work, nor is there a way to have him hit as Teneb and become something else to reanimate another creature. A better idea is to stack his triggers dumping several creatures in the yard, one of which being Bladewing the Risen, then allowing him to hit as Teneb. You can then reanimate Bladewing wi... (see all)

It's weird that the self-proclaimed "blood of the ur-dragon" is a 4/4 when 5 is such a central number to dragon cards.

@TherealphatMatt
Most dragons in Magic can. Dragon Mage has a quote. The wedge dragons could talk. Niv-Mizzet can talk, and so can Nicol Bolas.
Its fairly unsurprising, since dragons from D&D can speak as well, also a WOTC product.
