This deck is definitely my most gimmicky deck yet. When people think of Tajic, they think you're going to pump out weenies and swing with them all. This is not that deck, but you can pretend it is until you combo out out of nowhere. This deck is all about redirecting damage. There are plenty of instants that redirect damage back to an opponent, to their creatures, or to your creatures, which damage your opponents when they get damaged. And Tajic is fine with getting damage redirected to him, because he's indestructible. Sunforger is a critical combo piece. In fact, with enough mana, just Sunforger and a creature can win you the game. There are some other combo pieces that can help reduce the number of times you need to Sunforge, including our indestructible commander. So let's get to it:

THE MAIN COMBO: The first part of the combo is a Pariah effect, of which we have four. Pariah, Pariah's Shield, Martyrdom, and Gideon's Sacrifice all work to redirect all damage dealt to you to the Pariah'ed creature. Martyrdom and Gideon's Sacrifice are one-turn uses, but on the plus side, they're Sunforgeable. This is why it's important to have an indestructible creature like Tajic, the creature needs to be able to withstand an infinite amount of damage. Now, with Pariah on Stuffy Doll, all damage dealt to you is dealt to your opponent instead, but let's not stop there! Let's make it infinite. Enter Arcbond. Whenever target creature is dealt damage, it deals that much damage to each other creature and each player. The "each player" is important because it includes yourself. So when your Pariah'ed Tajic gets dealt damage, Tajic deals damage to both your opponents (and all creatures) and yourself, which gets redirected to Tajic again. This continues ad infinitum until your opponents are all dead. Another way to achieve this same goal is to have Repercussion out while Pariah'ing a Stuffy Doll or equivalent (the equivalents will need to be made indestructible), but Arcbond makes the combo infinitely simpler. Finally, you need to set the combo off with a damage to Tajic or yourself. There are a couple burn spells in the deck, which are again Sunforgeable, but the usual way (and the most fun way) to start the pain train going will be pain lands, which I have stocked this deck full of. Nothing is as satisfying as triggering an infinite loop by simply tapping a land for mana.

SIDE COMBOS You can't be sure to get this combo every time, and there are a few fun side combos that you might draw into. Worldslayer on Tajic means you can clean the field of literally everything except Tajic, and keep it clean by swinging every turn, until they die of commander damage. Isochron Scepter has a bunch of fun targets, but the spiciest target is Final Fortune with a Sundial of the Infinite on the Field. Infinite turns in Boros! Suck it, Boros haters! There was one other infinite combo in the deck that involved Crackdown Construct with any of the En-Kors to get an infinitely huge Crackdown Construct, but I cut it because the deck doesn't have a lot of ways to get the damage through.
