Glimmerbell infinite mana combo

Standard* Combo GU (Simic) Post Rotation RGWU

korvtraktorn


Sideboard


A bonkers combo giving Glimmerbell the ability to tap for mana with Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter, then with help of our companion Zirda, the Dawnwaker and other spells in our deck we reduce the cost to untap and increase the amount produced, cycling through our deck with Nylea, Keen-Eyed (Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter can find her first) to find Kenrith, the Returned King give haste and trample pump, infinite counters on the guys and swing. Leyline of Abundance can also pump our dudes infinitely if main plan doesn't work.

Fae of Wishes to get combo pieces and answers, but mainly as an extra win con: Get Gauntlet of Light from sideboard (that can't be played main deck because of Zirda) and put it on a mana dork, preferably a countered up Incubation Druid.

At first sight, this may seem like an inconsistent four card combo, but looking closer we see how many variations to those four cards there can be, and what ways to find them.

In the best of worlds, we can kill our opponent turn 3. Two Leyline of Abundance starting on the battlefield, turn 2 Glimmerbell and turn 3 Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy gives infinite green mana. If opponent has no flyers, we'll just give Glimmerbell infinite counters and swing. Otherwise we'll also need Nylea, Keen-Eyed for some additional shenanigans.

Slightly more realistic (and it has happened more than once), the combo can go off turn 4. Turn 1 land, turn 2 land, mana dork like Incubation Druid or Paradise Druid, turn 3 Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy and Glimmerbell (don't even need land drop), and turn 4 Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter + Biomancer's Familliar (don't even need land here either, but if you do you can play Zirda, the Dawnwaker instead).

In early testing, the deck has been performing! Perhaps it's because opponents also has tested new Ikoria strategies, or maybe the deck has real potential. We'll just have to wait til release to see.
