I wouldn't make him a general, but in a Scion of the Ur-Dragon deck, Zilirian can rapidly recover your general from a bottom of library or shuffle into library, and is cheap enough to activate that you can morph the Scion after searching him out as well.

fetch Bogardan Hellkite 5 to the head, attack with dragon, then Fling it, 15 damage for 5 mana

EDH. This and Thornbite staff. So long as you have 6 untapped mana to spare you can usually grab two dragons per turn as long as one of them kills something. As long as Utvara Hellkite is the other, you get two 6/6 fliers out of the deal too.

Dude, what? This is from Mirage. MIRAGE. You know, that set that had things like Crash of Rhinos. A 3/4 body for 5 that lets you toss ANY dragon from your library at your opponent for a measly 3 mana? Why would any deck running dragons NOT play this?

Goeas well with Fodder Cannon or just use Fling.

I am a little ashamed to admit it, but it has taken me nearly 16 years to realize that 1) It's Zirilan, not Zirilian, and 2) It's probably a proper noun (Zirilan, who is of the Claw) and not a title (a zirilan, belonging to the order of the Claw).

If the dragon you fetch dies before the end step, does it still get exiled?

The oracle text is functionally different than the printed. He is awesome with Sundial of the Infinite.

Too bad the dragons are exiled instead of sent to the graveyard, otherwise it would combo nicely with Kokusho.
