Does the Scion die if i use his ability to put a tribal instant with changeling into my graveyard ? I was just wondering...
Nevermind, they changed Scion's oracle text...
: Search your library for a Dragon permanent card and put it into your graveyard. If you do, Scion of the Ur-Dragon becomes a copy of that card until end of turn. Then shuffle your library.
That answer it for ya, if ya get a changling enchantment it will not die, it will become a copy of it eot.

Was that oracle change just made recently? Odd that they didn't change Haakon to read similar. The ability to play the changeling instants off him as "knight" cards can be pretty sick.
In painting, you have unlimited power. You have the ability to move mountains. You can bend rivers.
The reason they changed the Scion is because it's problematic for a permanent to become an Instant. The game just can't handle it. It's easy to play Instants from the graveyard.
Not entirely true; the rules can handle non-permanents coming into play. It's just not at all desireable.
212.5d. Instants can't come into play. If an instant would come into play, it remains in its previous zone instead.

Oh ok, so it wasn't because of abusibility, but more a rules issue.

It just simply doesn't make any sense the other way.

But I want my Scion to do magical things.
Noted... they just don't want to make cards try to do it. Is there actually any way to get an Instant to try to come into play right now?

Assuming rule 212.5d does not exist, no, simply because, as you said, the game could not handle such a thing.
These errata are meant primarily to stop the confusion that could be caused by a "must" action hitting an impossible action (although they are trying to get rid of all must actions.)
