One thing to note is that his second ability will not give you the extra combat phase if their lifetotal goes down before the ability resolves, this is unlike Dethrone.
But that's pretty unlikely to happen. This is a great dragon.

As a matter of fact, since Scourge's extra combat phase triggers on attack, not damage, you now have yet another instant kill in Scion of the Ur-Dragon EDH.
- Pay to turn Scion into Scourge, attack player with highest life total - Put a +1/+1 counter on your general, trigger your untap and additional combat phase - Before damage, pay another to turn Scion into Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon - Swing for 5 poison counters - Do it again
You only need colorless mana, your commander on the battlefield, and 2 other dragons in your deck that were both good enough to run anyways.

Scion of the Ur-Dragon doesn't work like that. Once he transforms into Scourge, he'll lose the ability to search for a dragon, meaning that he can't transform again that turn.

Kaalia just got another buddy in EDH. Scourge coming into play tapped and attacking is still "whenever Scourge of the Throne first attacks this turn"; nabbing you another attack phase, another counter on him potentially, and another fatty pooped into play. Just keep up mana for a ghostway or a boros charm or whatever because you have to know a board wipe is coming.
