Scion of the Ur-Dragon

How it plays & wins

This is a fast, five-color shell built around cheap mana and interaction. Moxen, Sol Ring, Lotus Petal, Dark Ritual and the spirit guides power out an early play, while Vampiric Tutor, Demonic Tutor, Enlightened Tutor and Gamble find the pieces. Free spells like Force of Will, Force of Negation, Pact of Negation and Mental Misstep let the pilot hold up protection while going for the win. Rhystic Study, Smothering Tithe and Mystic Remora provide value and tempo when the game runs longer.

The most direct win is Thassa's Oracle with Demonic Consultation or Tainted Pact, emptying the library and winning off the Oracle trigger. Underworld Breach with Brain Freeze or Lion's Eye Diamond is the second route. Beyond those combos, the list doesn't show a clear backup plan.
