Cephalid Aristocrat

Creature — Cephalid

Whenever Cephalid Aristocrat becomes the target of a spell or ability, put the top two cards of your library into your graveyard.

OLucas on Budget Sultai Tormod combos

Added the cephalid breakfast self-mill combo with Cephalid Aristocrat, Cephalid Illusionist and Shuko. With Gaea's Blessing in the deck and Tormod, the Desecrator on the battlefield that's infinite zombies. Also added Memory's Journey as a way to shuffle Gaea's Blessing if its in the graveyard from drawing and discarding/casting.

Grafted Wargear and Lightning Greaves also serve the same function of Shuko in the combo. The greaves should definitedly be added for mtgo since it's cheap there.

@ Valzasaurus: Yaeh Yuriko seems strong. A friend of mine has a Yuriko deck, which can be really explosive. With this deck i want to try the two partner commanders. For me they seem like fitting choices for a ninja tribe.

@ RiotRunner789: I like Bloodchief Ascension + Mindcrank. Cephalid Aristocrat + Lightning Greaves sounds really funny too!

I'm not sure about cards like Phyrexian Arena, which are restricted to trigger once a turn. For now i will try cards like Coastal Piracy and Guardian Project which i should be able to trigger several times a turn.

End-Raze Forerunners is a good hint. I will considet it after first playtesting games

As for a win-con you are in good colors for some infinite combos. You could consider Demonic Consultation with Thassa's Oracle, Bloodchief Ascension with Mindcrank, or Cephalid Aristocrat with Lightning Greaves and some empty library win-con.

Then either put in a tutor or two (not as fun) or put in a couple more ways to draw cards like Insight, Kumena's Awakening, or Phyrexian Arena.

With a couple combos, then you should win most of the time with your ninja's but have the added bonus of sometimes going to an infinite win or having a second way to win. Also, with a bunch of small creatures out and access to green you could just throw in a End-Raze Forerunners and/or Overwhelming Stampede

PookandPie on Oloro the out there

Oloro is in your title, but you used the plural of deck in your comment. Do you want more than just Oloro combos?

Also, what kind of combos are you looking for? You say degenerate, but that varies by playgroup. Most combos the average player considers degenerate are garbage, competitively, and typically the best 'combo' at tables with powerful decks and knowledgeable players is A Good Deck + Ad Nauseam or Doomsday, or something. So, because I don't know what you're looking for and you gave practically 0 information to make suggestions simple, here's every single infinite combo I can think of or find in Esper (and some of these aren't even registered as combos on the site, so... I found that interesting. Had to go back and separate those ones card by card):

And after this, I'm out. I'm going to go back to playing Fire Emblem: Fates. Fwiw, I hope this helps, and I just zoned out in a phone call with a person I didn't want to speak to for about 20 minutes while formatting this, lol.
