"Back in October, Kenn Mikos mailed in the first combo to break Urza's Contact Lenses: Urza's Contact Lenses + Lodestone Myr! As long as your arms don't fall off, the Contact Lenses can pump Lodestone Myr up infinitely. +8,000,000/+8,000,000 from a 0-mana artifact seems pretty good. The free untaps turn Clock of Omens's ability into Tap an artifact: Untap target artifact, which can be silly. But let's think about this. The Clapper ability on the Contact Lenses was utterly pointless at the time of Unglued (which Mark Rosewater was the lead designer of) and it stayed useless until Lodestone Myr in Mirrodin (which Mark Rosewater was the lead designer of) and Clock of Omens in Fifth Dawn (which Mark Rosewater was the lead designer of). Hmmm. Let me reiterate: Hmmmmmm. Did Mark just pull off what I think he did? Was he seeding combo pieces in his niche set six years ago? Oh, it gets betterthe Contact Lenses are a cog, so they're fetchable with Artificer's Intuition or Trinket Mage (also Fifth Dawn cards). Amazing.Don't forget to tap your Clock of Omens (cuz you might as well) and your Howling Mine (to shut it off before your opponent draws) to feed your Lodestone Myr and your Clock-driven untaps early in the game, before you find your infinite combos. Waitwhat infinite combos?
Clock of Omens + Thran Dynamo + Staff of Domination + Urza's Contact Lenses = infinite colorless mana and blistered palms. You can replace the Staff with another Lenses or vice versa for the same result.
Clock of Omens + 2 Contact Lenses + Great Furnace = infinite red mana and bloody palms.
After you get that mana, you can draw your deck with the Staff and use Fireball or Telim'Tor's Darts (among other possibilities I didn't include) for the win. If you've got a Clock, the Lenses, and a handful of artifact lands, you can simply untap Thran Dynamo enough times (without needing to go infinite) to get a lethal Fireball going."
