that part that says "Put that card into your hand at the beginning of your next end step" is a delayed trigger caused by the ability. This can be stifled.

I thought I did in MTGO, but now I can't seem too, but I was probably just mistaken.

No, you can not. No matter how you pay for Dismember, its converted mana cost is still 3.

Each phyrexian mana symbol has the converted mana cost of its non-phyrexian half. In thiscase, Dismember is still a 1BB spell, even if you only pay 1 mana and 4 life.

So I am working on a scion of ur dragon EDH deck. I want to somehow bin a skyithx and pump for the ability to poison kill. I figure Moltensteel dragon does the trick so why not. Is there any way to make it work?

nope.

+4: Target player exiles a card from his or her hand.

Nope, in order for you to be able to pump your Scion with Moltensteel's ability, it has to have already copied Moltensteel Dragon, at which point Scion no longer has the ability to tutor up Skithiryx to copy it. If you want the poison kill with Scion, you're going to either need to copy Skithiryx and pump it another way, or copy a dragon that can pump and find another way of giving it infect (Grafted Exoskeleton, Tainted Strike, etc.)

"Whenever this is put into the graveyard from anywhere" is an enters-the-graveyard trigger. It is not a leaves-the-battlefield trigger since it does not require the card/permanent to have come from the battlefield. As such, it triggers from the graveyard and it is based on what the card/permanent looks like in the graveyard. A Metamorph that enters the graveyard after copying an Eldrazi on the battlefield (which all have enter-the-graveyard triggers) will not trigger anything since it enters the graveyard as a Phyrexian Metamorph which has no triggers.

---

Sure, why not? Equip is a targeted ability, so you can redirected it to his Spellskite. Incidentally, you'd only have to pay to equip the myr once. You could target the same ability while on the stack as many times as you wanted.

It's doable exactly how Kyzneg said.

1. Stack the Scion ability twice.
2. Let the first one resolve. Bin Moltensteel Dragon.
3. Activate the pump ability of Moltensteel.
4. Let the second ability resolve, binning Skithyrx.
5. Kill someone.
