If I target it with Artificial Evolution and change dragon to, say elf, could I make him into an instant that's also a permanent (Gilt-Leaf Ambush)

@IamjustnotCreative: The original wording may say "Dragon card", but the errata clarifies that you may only search your library for a Dragon permanent card, meaning you can't turn Scion into a Crib Swap that somehow bends the rules and remains on the battlefield as a permanent.
My biggest problem with using this thing as a commander is that almost every other player at the table will want to either kill it or somehow Mind Control it. Luckily I've found that Chameleon Colossus and Mirror Entity is able to provide at least some form of protection. The Colossus can protect against most removal and some mind control effects, and if everything else fails, the Mirror Entity can kill your things by making them 0/0 as a last-ditch effort to preventing an opponent from stealing your stuff. I'd really love a Dragon with shroud though - Quicksilver Dragon is sadly the only thing... (see all)

Step 1: Artificial Evolution. Change Dragon to Hippo.
Step 2: Search for Phelddagrif with Ur-Dragon's ability.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit

Undeniably the most Spike of all my Commanders. I adore this card, plain and simple.
@ syrazemyla:
Moltensteel Dragon is a one-hit kill on its own, provided you pay enough life. I use Moltensteel as a secondary one-hitter, and rely primarily on Dragon Tyrant.

Most people tend to have some sort of potential answer to one-hit kills when he arises. Avoid that trap of spending life or wasting Dragon Tyrant early.
Instead, chuck a Nicol Bolas at them! Rip their hand apart. They won't like THAT in EDH.

Here's to hoping that we someday get a Tribal Enchantment - Dragon.

Great in tandem with Immortal Servitude to bring your dragons back, as most of the relevant ones cost exactly 6 mana.

Let's say I turn scion here into teneb, and then use tenebs ability to bring scion back and upon teneb entering the battlefield I cloud shift scion in response can I even do that or will scion still go kaplooie when teneb hits the battlefield whether I flicker or not?

I realize that Sneak Attack is too good, but making it all five colours and more vulnerable to destruction is not the answer. I would really rather have Sneak Attack. Like, really really.

@Kadaver666: I assume you mean using teneb's ability to bring teneb back. Otherwise your question doesn't make sense. But yeah, if tenebs ability is on the stack and you flicker the scion somehow, it re-enters as the scion and teneb enters the battlefield.
I need to make this edh deck. Suddenly, dragons.
