Bant Infinite combo

Archangel of Thune + Fathom Mage + Horizon Chimera = draw your whole deck + put your whole deck's worth of cards as +1/+1 counters on creatures you control?
You will get some ridiculously large creatures, yes. Thank goodness the Fathom Mage trigger is a "may", because otherwise you'd lose by decking yourself.
If you had a way to give the Archangel trample or something, then that's a game right there. What's that new aura from Theros that gives unblockable and "whenever this creature attacks, scry 1"?

lol Horizon Chimera has trample and gets the +1/+1 counters, but doesn't have haste... =(

Flash it in on the end of your opponent's turn. Profit.

Turns 1-2, some ramp. Turn 3 Fathom Mage , turn 4 Archangel of Thune ... Turn 5, wait a bit, end of opponent's turn flash in Horizon Chimera , swing for ridiculous amounts on turn 6? Maybe give it some sort of protection first.

Well to be fair if someone was going to kill it they'd kill it at instant speed before your draw step if you play him at the end of their turns. Thus meaning you don't need protection if you get to the next draw step unless your opponent is waiting on something like AEtherize or Celestial Flare you will generally win. If you have those three creatures out and nobody kills one of them and the combo goes off if you draw 20 cards that's also +20 life and +20 1/1 counters on them. You can also use Thassa in this to drill your way through to them quicker and the ramp from green. I genuinely think this could be a competitive combo.

It can easily be a turn 5 play with Sylvan Caryatid around.

Well if you are playing at home, why not add a Fastbond to play all your land, yes you lose one life per land but you are already gaining the life as you draw, and throw a Laboratory Maniac in there??

I've actually got a deck with almost this same stuff in it, except Sunbond instead of the Angel.

I realized you could do a combo similar to this the only difference is Sphinx's Revelation rather than fathom mage

I'm playing around with it. It's really hard to get everything out.
