DrLama on MagicalHacker - List of All 2-Card Infinite Combos

4 years ago

one-card combo:
Recruiter of the Guard / Imperial Recruiter
- cast whichever recruiter, search up Spellseeker into Withdraw .
- Bounce Spellseeker and Recruiter, recast both, search up Chain of Vapor and Trophy Mage .
- Cast Trophy Mage into Basalt Monolith .
- Cast Chain of Vapor on Trophy Mage and Recruiter, recast Trophy Mage into Rings of Brighthearth .
- Rings of Brighthearth + Basalt Monolith makes infinite mana, then recast Recruiter (for 1 colored mana) into Walking Ballista to kill.

That costs 30 mana, with 8 slots -- If you can use white cards, you can replace Withdraw with Momentary Blink to save 3 mana (most of flashback cost paid with infinite colorless mana), or replace Withdraw with Ephemerate to save 7 mana (at the cost of a turn), or replace both Withdraw and Chain of Vapor with Ephemerate and Momentary Blink to save 9 mana (21 mana instead of 30) if Chain of Vapor isn't already generating 2+ mana with fast-mana artifacts ( Mana Vault and such). Other replacements for Withdraw include Saving Grasp , Selective Snare , Scapegoat . Only Scapegoat saves mana, just 1 -- use Chain first, then Scapegoat, saccing Spellseeker. But that's worse than Chain then Momentary Blink.

I'm sure there's a way to do this without Spellseeker, going Recruiter into Mistmeadow Witch , or Recruiter into Recruiter into Planar Guide , possibly using cards like Brago, King Eternal , Felidar Guardian / Flickerwisp , but I haven't worked those out yet. Maybe it's possible without blue.

A few Ideas for Prowess-Creatures:

Stormchaser Mage : Flies, CMC 2

Soul-Scar Mage : Cheap, helps with removal, e.g. Lightning Bolt

Maybe use this Land? Faerie Conclave

Im going to make these suggestions under the assumption that price is not an issue.

Card Suggestions

• Topdeck Manipulation
  • Scroll Rack: is the card for this deck. Hand and topdeck manipulation with no equal.
    Enigma Sphinx
  • Sensei's Divining Top: Another fantastic artifact for controlling your draws.
  • Soothsaying: Topdeck fixer. Cheap enchantment and a good mana sink. Basically a not as good, but cheaper alternative to Scroll Rack.
• Abusing ETB options
  • Panharmonicon: Why have one when you can get two? (Double ETB triggers).
  • Riverwise Augur: Brainstorm ETB effect.
  • Flickerwisp: 3/1 Flier, lets you get another ETB effect from a creature you already played.
  • Glimmerpoint Stag: Strictly worse Flickerwisp.
  • Conjurer's Closet: Single flicker effect on end step, it is slow and not a top recommendation
  • Karmic Guide: Abuse-able graveyard recursion
  • Angel of Serenity: Removes 3 cards each ETB and returns to hand instead of battlefield when it leaves.
  • Magister Sphinx: Puts target opponent at 10
  • Massacre Wurm: Great way to wipe tokens
  • Sunblast Angel: Boardwipe ETB
  • Pilgrim's Eye: Never miss a land drop ETB
  • Mnemonic Wall: Return instants and sorceries from graveyard ETB, also a good wall
  • Noxious Gearhulk: Destroys creatures and gains life on ETB
  • Cataclysmic Gearhulk: Great way to clear a cluttered board.
  • Big Game Hunter/Shriekmaw/Bone Shredder
  • Ashen Rider/Angel of Despair
• "Better" spells (ie, better cards that do what cards you have do)
  • Baleful Strix: Much better than your Phyrexian Rager
  • Dusk Legion Zealot: Similar to Phyrexian Rager except a 1/1 that costs 1 less
  • Duplicant: Slightly cheaper Phyrexian Ingester (honestly, id consider both)

• Other spells

  • Teferi's Protection: This card is busted by itself, coupled with your commander's ult and its just unfair.
  • Counterbalance: If you have enough topdeck manipulation this can be a powerful card, but i can understand not wanting to run it.
  • Homeward Path: Lets you (everyone) get back their creatures but not other non-land permanents
  • Saving Grasp
  • Supplant Form
  • Mystical Tutor/Enlightened Tutor/Vampiric Tutor: One mana tutors that put the card on top of your library. I would definitely run Mystical Tutor at least.
  • Fabricate: Tutors an artifact. Highly recommended should you buy the Scroll Rack or other good artifacts (Not worth it if all you have are mana rocks)
  • Chromatic Lantern: Still the best 3 drop mana rock for multicolored decks
  • Voidwalk: Another means to get your creatures back after you ult

• Cards that I would consider taking out

  • Primordial Mist: Clunky and slow and you have pretty much removed all of the other manifest cards it doesnt really fit.
  • Jeskai Infiltrator: Another manifest card
  • Enigma Sphinx: It is very expensive card for a 5/4 body, even with flying. It has no ETB effect to abuse (since you have to cast to get the cascade effect).
  • Sphinx of Jwar Isle: Unnecessary Effect
  • Conundrum Sphinx: There are far better and cheaper card draw effects... Loyal Drake for example
  • Sphinx of Uthuun: Expensive for a Fact or Fiction

• Other Comments

  • I dont know about cards like Esper Charm or Crib Swap whether they are worth keeping or not?

It is entirely dependent on whether or not the data for these cards are entered correctly. Which these are not.
