So I had originally built this deck with the vague thought of have Zirda be both the commander and companion - seeing no reason why these two roles have to be different. In researching it I have found nothing making me believe this is possible. It seems that they begin in different zones - and thus are technically incompatible.

Nonetheless I've largely kept with the theme and Zirda can be switched to companion role if a better commander shows up with a few edits. (I have yet to find one that even so much as fits in the deck.)


Combos in order of likelihood of getting it

Zirda, the Dawnwaker + Grim Monolith or Basalt Monolith = infinite colorless mana

Zirda, the Dawnwaker or Illusionist's Bracers + Kozilek's Channeler or Palladium Myr + Umbral Mantle or Sword of the Paruns = infinite colorless mana

(Zirda, the Dawnwaker) + Ignition Team + Aggravated Assault = infinite creature untaps and possibly colored mana

Zirda, the Dawnwaker + Paradise Mantle + Umbral Mantle = infinite power commander (and a bunch of creatures potentially can't block?)

Zirda, the Dawnwaker + Paradise Mantle + Illusionist's Bracers + Gauntlets of Light = infinite colored mana (you double the untap and respond to each one with a tap for mana.)

Zirda, the Dawnwaker + Crystalline Crawler + Umbral Mantle = infinite powered crystalline crawler (+Illusionist's Bracers = infinite mana. You double the +1/+1 counters on tap)

Zirda, the Dawnwaker + Paradise Mantle + Kozilek's Channeler or Palladium Myr + Umbral Mantle or Sword of the Paruns or Gauntlets of Light = infinite colored mana (colorless if gauntlets)

Zirda, the Dawnwaker + Crystalline Crawler + Echoes of the Kin Tree + Mikaeus, the Lunarch + Umbral Mantle or Sword of the Paruns or Gauntlets of Light = infinite counters on every body else.

Zirda, the Dawnwaker + Cryptic Trilobite + Umbral Mantle or Sword of the Paruns + Illusionist's Bracers = infinite mana that can only be spent on abilities

Zirda, the Dawnwaker + Mikaeus, the Lunarch + Umbral Mantle or Sword of the Paruns + Illusionist's Bracers + Runaway Steam-Kin or Crystalline Crawler or Cryptic Trilobite = infinite counters on everybody else

Zirda, the Dawnwaker + Runaway Steam-Kin + Heliod, Sun-Crowned + Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded + Purphoros, God of the Forge + Myr Propagator = infinite damage, life, and myr.

Infinite mana sinks include Colorless:

Umbral Mantle, Sword of the Paruns on something that taps

Staff of Domination = infinite taps, untaps, life, and card draw

Retrofitter Foundry = infinite 1/1 flyers or 4/4s on the ground

Eldrazi Displacer + Containment Priest = infinite exile. We don't have that many etb effects but + Goblin Engineer = a bunch of artifacts in your graveyard and by itself it = infinite taps/token destruction

Myr Propagator + Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded = infinite myr propagators

Astral Cornucopia = infinite colored mana
