Nifty combo, I believe it works because Hellkite Charger is missing the "if it's the first combat phase of the turn" clause (Finest Hour). It requires 7 lands is the only issue, and your opponent to not have any spot removal. I think it may find a deck though, as two card combos usually do.
I think people will be able to pull this off with only the 7 mana, not the full 11. With all of these ginormous Eldrazi spells, creating a lot of colorless fast is going to be easy. So with some Eldraz 0/1's and the correct colors you could get the combo out and running.
It obviously requires your opponent to be tapped out or with no spot removal, and the 7 mana, but if you cast the guy in the first place you have the 7 mana you need.
Still. Cast the dragon, then next turn equipping the totem armor and swinging for the game.....even if they're at infinite life....seems sum good to me. :-D Probably not good enough to build a deck around, but damn if it's not funny...
Remember that you can't use some ramp to get to him. No Spawn tokens or Lotus cobra. You can't re-use that mana. You need hard ramp.
But that's not *THAT* hard to imagine, is it?
Hellkite Charger is hardly an embarrassing creature. Boar Umbra is playable, as far as auras go--I mean it even prevents them from simply terminating your dude.
Put into some sort of R/G ramping Shell, it seems fine. Probably a pretty baller tier 2 deck there.
You get access to Bloodbraid Elf, Lightning Bolt, and Earthquake--surely, it shouldn't be sooo hard to stay alive for long enough to play two cards and go "I win".
I think I saw this idea in the thread showing off Bear Umbra.
But doesn't take away the fact that it is insane if it does go off. Not to mention the fact that Naya is touted to have more Defenders, and I see a good tier 2 list in Naya colors. Now, the only small problem is Baneslayer Angel, but nothing a Path or a Collarmage can't fix.

I hate when people change their avatar's. That's how I identify most people, not by names.
