Some form of Lifelink ability ices the cake, but isn't necessary. It's just that you get to one-shot a player with a guy that already enables you to play a 5-color deck and thereby the biggest pile of broken humanly possible. In other words, you use him to one-shot the guy who's going to stop whatever combo you're about to drop, then win.
Sounds boring.

And when someone said "combo," I thought that involved something more complicated than, "Do what Scion normally does when you put a Moltensteel into the graveyard," hence my confusion. But Scion isn't really a hard deck to figure out, since it's either Dragons or Using The General For Its Colors (and if its the latter, you get waaaaaaaaay more style points for running Atogatog. I mean, seriously).
