Wow, thanks guys. This was a great discussion. I totally get it now.
One last question: What's Scion got to do with it? Is it just for the five colors? Or is he just inconspicuous, so people don't auto assume you're playing hermit and leave counter mana up?
Never mind. I found the backup wincon.
Another one that works well is to stack scions ability to make him a moltensteel dragon, pump, then make him skithyrix.

I know how the combo works, but all of the primers I read talk about how the plan is to turn 2 into hermitting your deck to grave and combo off.
How are they guaranteeing these plays? How many tutors can you cram in to get off on turn one to grab hermit?
