Help with Budget Infinite Combos
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on Dec. 16, 2016, 3:28 p.m. by RazortoothMtg
Hi all! I'm building a Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis grouphug deck, and need a wincon. Do you guys know any good combos that win me the game somehow, with no cards over $10 and the cards are useful without the combo? And one thats 2-3 cards? I know it's a lot to ask, but there's probably something out there.
Thanks in advance!
If you're getting the pre-con, then it already comes with the Oath of Druids, Forbidden Orchard combo.
There's also Ophidian Eye/Curiosity, and Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind, although the Enchantments aren't so good without Niv.
Opalescence and Parallax Wave, to exile your opponent's board whenever you want.
Archaeomancer/Mnemonic Wall, any repeatable Blink/return Effect, any repeatable Time Walk effect, and take infinite turns to do whatever you want.

Errast: Yes, I'm getting the precon, so it has that, but there really aren't many creatures in there I'd want to mill a ton to get. Blazing Archon is the only thing that makes it worth it.
I think it'll be hard to find an Opalescence, but if I find it, yes please!
If I want extra turns, Beacon of Tomorrows + Planar Portal is my favorite.
I do think the Niv Mizzet combo is good. I'll add that.
Triton: i do like navigator and zenith, they'll probably be in there anyway (I just love blinking Avenger of Zendikars) but I feel bad running a 2/3 that doesn't really do much. Maybe.

Starfield of Nyx also works if you can't find Opalescence.
Some good creatures for Oath of Druids on a budget might be; Void Winnower, Novablast Wurm, Worldspine Wurm, Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, or if you're willing to splurge, a Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur is always good. These also work great since your colours, and commander are there to help you ramp into them normally if need be.

Splinter Twin + Deceiver Exarch or Midnight Guard for that matter.

Adding to what Triton said, Eldrazi Displacer can pair with Peregrine Drake for that sweet, sweet mana. Plus Displacer is just a sick combo piece anyway, letting you abuse your etb abilities.

If you want to go old-school, try Enduring Renewal + Grapeshot + Wild Cantor , for infinite Stormcount and infinite damage.

Midnight Guard (as people have mentioned) and Intruder Alarm both untap things when ETB triggers.
Elemental Mastery, Splinter Twin, and Presence of Gond tap to spit tokens out, however, Splinter Twin has a few more cards it can combo with.
Deceiver Exarch (also been mentioned), Pestermite, Zealous Conscripts, and Village Bell-Ringer are all examples of infinites with Splinter Twin. This means that they also go infinite with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker. (who also has a few unique infinites, like Restoration Angel)
Any way you look at it, infinite creatures are generally red heavy, which is the least used color in your deck. I would say it is worth looking into, and if you like them, maybe you can get one of them fancy Kiki-Jikis. (They are super worth the $12, I love mine)

Spiteful Shadows + Guilty Conscience goes infinite.

Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake with any spell like Blue Sun's Zenith is around $3 total and the only card that is weak on its own is Peregrine Drake (it'a a sorta free card I guess lol). If you're using the Karoo lands, Cloud of Faeries can replace the drake in this combo.
