A dedicated control finisher usually doesn't need any other cards to protect it or help it win you the game. Indrik Stomphowler has finished tons of games but I would never call it a finisher. The list of creatures that have never actually finished a game is probably pretty small but that doesn't mean you can set them and forget them the same way you can with something like Aetherling or Sphinx of Jwar Isle.
