In my R/W deck:
Cosmic Larva+Bloodthorn Taunter+ This=
Repeated 7/6 attacks
1- Play Bloodthorn Taunter
2- Play Cosmic Larva and haste it using bloodthorn taunter
3- Just before its beginning of your upkeep again, play Whitemane Lion to unsummon Cosmic Larva and resume the attacks :)
Note: You just have to avoid letting Bloodthorn Taunter from being killed though
When your opponent thinks that you're going to sacrifice Cosmic Larva, this will make them think twice xD

This card is a mono white Fleetfoot Panther. Of course Fleetfoot Panther is much better.

A color-free flash gater? Blastoderm, Flametongue Kavu, and Solemn Simulacrum say, "Hi!"

This + the Venser Emblem becomes "Tap 2, exile target permanent." Just keep bouncing him and spam your lion.
In a turn they'll have lost most of their lands, by two turns they probably have nothing left to cast with, by three turns their side is empty. Unless I'm mistaken.

This worked so well with other Vanishing creatures from the same set. When Planar Chaos was released, a friend made a pretty sollid R/W Boros style deck that ran most of the red/white Vanishing cards and a suite of burns. Between Lion and Momentary Blink, you end up with a lot of activations for Keldon Marauder, Aven Rif***cher, Stingscourger, and a surprisingly resilient Calciderm.
This was much more difficult to deal with pre-M10 of course...but even now, those ETB/LTB triggers are still fairly powerful, and the Lion is one of the most recyclable.
