I might have to try that at some point.
So which of these win conditions would you cut to include the Lore Weaver portion of the puzzle? Our gameplan is to generate infinite mana using one of our compact 2-card combos and find an outlet to kill the table (if Nin herself isn't available).
What's the closest existing card that has the effect "Deal Some damage to any target. So, with that said, which of the “worst” cards from my seat-of-the-pants rankings would you cut to make room for the best land in EDH? Broodmoth is still extremely good. If you use [[Conspiracy]] it is just 2 colors. So, in a discussion about the Temur Ascendancy combo, someone asked if the other ascendancies could also be broken, rather than just Temur in Jeskai.
Ley Weaver does exactly what Argothian Elder does for the exact same price, but also goes ahead and searches for its partner Lore Weaver when it enters the battlefield (and vice versa). Also it is one of the main focuses of my Nicol Bolas deck which is centered in the graveyard! My initial thought was Atla Palani since that seems hilarious, but I think my friend will end up building that so might as well try something different. Also, as the title says, I know it's a bad combo, I just wanted to do something infinite involving Abzan Ascendancy.
This means that not only can you get the infinite mana, but you also have something you can immediately use it with to win the game by forcing the rest of the table to draw their entire decks. If that is the case, then Pir’s Whim might be what you’re looking for. Here are some: Goblin Cannon or Rocket Launcher.
You can only clone non-token creatures with Riku, so use Palinchron's four-cost ability to return him to your hand.
The one problem we have is that Retribution of the ancients takes mana, so how do we get that? Make piles based on how strongly you feel about the cards. The proxies conversation is weird to me because I learnt to play magic way back when up in Yellowknife where you were lucky to see a box of product a month, so very early on a bunch of us chipped in and bought like 2k white border plains , and some duelist magazine card lists.
This one's not so much a combo as an overpowered artifact. Here's the idea: If you can get a creature to die repeatedly, you can get a lot of tokens, and can then win with them. anybody proxying/playing duals is probably playing a budgetless deck with powerful interactions).
Advised for large posts. Each time you perform this routine, you're spending six mana and gaining seven, providing an infinite supply of both mana and Palinchron tokens.
With that in mind, these are the ten best infinite mana combos in Magic: The Gathering! Also I just noticed Sekki + [[Pandemonium]] or [[Warstorm Surge]] = arbitrary amount of damage divided as you choose between any number of targets. To quickly initiate your infinites, use tutors to search out your materials; many of the game's top-rated commanders are ones who can help pull infinite components.
You can also fetch out this card along with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed to go infinite with a free sacrifice outlet.
You can use the +1/+1 counter from the Undying given by Mikaeus to the Ballista to shoot someone for 1 damage, and then sac it to the sac outlet to repeat the process. What cards do you have roaming around unsleeved in the side of your deckboxes? Here's how it works. Thyrasios makes you draw cards, and Kydele adds to your mana pool for every card you draw; Thrasios allows you to scry and play land cards. This means that you won’t necessarily be out of the game as sometimes happens with Helix Pinnacle, Approach of the Second Sun, or Crumbling Sanctuary, but it also means you aren’t winning the game, either. Tempt with Discovery has been a favorite of Group Hug and Ramp decks for a long time, giving you the possibility of searching up several nonbasic lands from your deck for just four mana if there is a little cooperation or greed among your opponents. Next was Yisan since that sounds like the good version of Mayael, but apparently he's hilariously broken. They don't have haste, but on your next turn, they'll be ready to ransack opposing life points. My brain shortened his ability to persist. With your first three pieces in play, tap Gyre for mana. In that situation, Pir’s Whim would have done the same, while also disrupting opponents for not playing along. While some of that discrepancy may be due to Pir’s Whim being a relatively new printing from Battlebond, it could also be because of the tendency of a lot of tables to let the Tempt player get away with the Tempting Offer. ", Mikaeus the Unhallowed+Walking Ballista is also a two-card 6CMC commander+0CMC card combo that just instantly wins the game via infinite damage to any number of targets. Sac outlet. Basically, when combined, you create a cycle of eternal taps and refreshes that grant unlimited mana. Obviously, the problem with this combo is that it's basically just a more complicated version of Squirrel Nest + Earthcraft, but whatever. When Deadeye arrives, he soulbonds with another unit (pick Drake), letting you pay two mana to exile either of the units, then return it to the field under your control. All cards involved in this combo are colorless, so they'll fit in any deck; however, you need two copies of Myr Galvanizer, meaning the combo won't work in singleton formats like EDH (unless you can clone token copies). You have no fear of your opponent doing anything after you’ve gone off, because they’ll never get the chance. I also have a bunch of bulk left over from buying a box of Battlebond hunting for cheap Commander Duals?
This strategy requires three colors and its components both need a fair amount of mana, but you're only hunting two pieces.
Now all of that sounds a little hostile and direct for a Group Hug deck, especially one that has gone out of its way to appear as nice as possible. That said, there are still a couple of tools outside of Suture Priest that are still in the deck to help us win without Lore Weaver. Whenever a creature you control would obtain one or more -1/-1 counters, Vizier's effect reduces that number by one, so if they only received one, they don't get any.
This gives you infinite Spirits, but you could just be using Kitchen Finks or Murderous Redcap as your persist creature, making your swarm unnecessary.
Helix Pinnacle and Azor’s Elocutors can also draw some hate in the long term, to varying degrees.
