So if Scion goes to the graveyard while copying another dragon, which dragon hits the graveyard? For example, if he's copying Keiga, the Tide Star, would Keiga's ability trigger?

People, once Scion resolves his first activation, he loses the copying ability (as per the Oracle) so you can't attack with him, discard Teneb, and then attempt to make him someone else. Many people on here have already stated this very same statement but people don't seem to comprehend this.
I am glad to say that I have gotten some great ideas for modifying my Commander deck in this discussion.
@codeZX- You can't cast Sudden Spoiling on Progenitus because you can't even target him with the spell, so your idea fails. Also, the legend rule triggers before you're able to blink one away, since it doesn't use the stack.

Conspiracy. Thanks to Innistrad, it is now possible to win with Scion of the Ur-Dragon in Commander with only 6 mana if you have Conspiracy naming "Dragon" in play. Here's what I figured out:
Pay {4} to activate the ability and then activate it again in response. Put away a Grave-Shell Scarab and then a Civilized Scholar, so Scion becomes a Civilized Scholar. Tap it, dredge the Scarab, and discard it, untapping but not transforming the Scion. Repeat until you've milled your entire library. You should have Memory's Journey, Unearth, and Laboratory Maniac in the graveyard. If you have a creature in hand, you can draw two cards, so go ahead and Memory's Journey Unearth, draw it, then get Laboratory Maniac back and win.
This combo is ugly but it does win. Please let me know if you ... (see all)

How is this not a dragon shapeshifter?
Building off the earlier suggestion for Kaalia of the Vast, and assuming you are playing Conspiracy, then there is no reason not to run Rakdos the Defiler, since you can send him after you attack but before he hits to skip the trigger. Then play Yore-Tiller Nephilim to bring Rakdos back from your graveyard attacking.

I've been meaning to write something about this Wonder-of-Wonders ever since I got into EDH... basically, he IS the reason. I love Dragons, much like Sarkhan Vol, and he's the closest thing to a Dragon-God you can get in this world... 'nough said! However, something changed recently that made me pull out one of his best buds and make a 2nd awe-inspiring deck (Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind) to make room for Return to Ravnica... the "Deity of Dragons" (name of the deck) will never be the same: - enter Utvara Hellkite. I won't go on tripping over the WONDROUS plays this deck has had... I'll just say: THAT release, coupled with the unleashing of Kokusho, the Evening Star... have made things pretty silly around here.
- Best game to date: Turn 6 in a 4-way = Mother of Runes and Shizo, Death's Storehouse in play; 1-shot cannon with Dragon Tyrant / Moltensteel Dra... (see all)

does any one care to know the dirtiest combo with scion? that with 4 mana, you scion and one of 3 cards in your hand you can instantly win? i find this sort of think distaste full but at the same time if you have douche friends who insult dragon as a tribal, or you , is necessary?

One way to do a Teneb trick is to pay 2, sending an enormous monster Dragon to the graveyard, then pay another 2 to turn him into Teneb. Requires 7 mana including the 3 activation, but you get any dragon onto the field.

How about this?
Don't bring Teneb back when you turn Scion into Teneb. Instead, dump a powerful dragon in the graveyard first, then dump Bladewing the Risen, and when it comes back to your turn dump Teneb. Attack with Teneb and activate his ability to bring back Bladewing, and use Bladewing to bring back that first dragon you dumped. Boom, three dragons out of nowhere. Once you get Conspiracy, and Deadeye Navigator you can start really dumping some dragons. Soulbond Deadeye to Bladewing to start popping dragons from the graveyard to play for two mana each, with Scion and Conspiracy out you can put every creature from your deck into play in a few turns. (Four mana to play any creature from my library? ftw)
