Want to make people hate you in EDH?

All right, here goes.

You're playing Scion of the Ur-Dragon. Lucky you, you have the WhiteBlueBlackRedGreen to play your Scion. By some small act of god, your general survives his first turn out and it's now your turn, he's ready to swing, and that one pesky opponent doesn't have a flier out.

So you decide to murder the hell out of him. Pay 2 to copy Dragon Tyrant, then your remaining 3 mana to cast this, pump the Tyrant'd Scion five times with its firebreathing, and then proceed to deliver fatal commander damage in one shot.

Boros Garrison, 1 Plains, 1 Mountain, and 1 Clifftop Retreat, plus Lightning Greaves on field, play Seething Song by tapping Garrison and Mountain, essentially 2 White mana and 5 Red, summon Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, and hook with Greaves (hello zero equip cost), so 5/5 first striking, flying, hasting, shrouding, damage-doubling, totally butt-kicking, hot angel...10 damage...good night

not only could it give you game on turn three but if it played right alongside a card like Mirrari or even Djinn Illuminatus the whole infinite mana loop was also an issue plus this was banned just like dark ritual was banned along time ago same reasons different cards.

They should just use Geosurge and play Wurmcoil Engine instead.

Even without instant speed this may have gotten the ban hammer. That 18 damage turn one combo by Boakes is a perfect example. That one requires 6 of 7 cards to synergize. I would cast in T2 using (any cheap mana accelerator from T1), then combo with Reverberate to get 8 mana floating, then Quicksilver Amulet to get out (insert big beastie here) ... game over. That takes 5 of 8 cards to synergize.

Fun, but broken. Hate to see you go, but love to watch you seethe.

With creatures being much better today and planeswalkers providing repeatable card advantage, this might be a little bit overpowered today. I suppose this is also why they stopped printing ramp effects as good as Thran Dynamo, or even Explosive Vegetation. Still, a turn three Seething Song into Stormbreath Dragon isn't exactly as bad as turn three Invisible Stalker + Unflinching Courage. Maybe this card is okay after all, in a format without storm.
