DrLama on MagicalHacker - List of All 2-Card Infinite Combos

more one-card combos:
Moggcatcher
Search up Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker , Lightning Crafter , then any Goblin sac outlet (too many to list), or anything that triggers off of etb or death ( Pashalik Mons / Boggart Shenanigans / Warteye Witch ). With a sac outlet, you get infinite damage from Lightning Crafter copies, and infinite of the sac effect (for example with Skirk Prospector , infinite red mana.

Additionally, Cateran Overlord (and Cateran Slaver / Cateran Enforcer ) can search up Moggcatcher , making them one-card combos too.

Moggcatcher fetching all three pieces on its own is pretty slow, requiring a full turn after you play it to use it, then still requiring an additional untap and activation. One way to use it is, EOT, fetch Kiki, copy Moggcatcher, fetch Sling-Gang Lieutenant with the copy, untap Kiki, Moggcatcher, and copy. Get a card with champion (adorementioned Lightning Crafter, or Boggart Mob / Changeling Berserker / Changeling Hero / Changeling Titan using the Moggcatcher or the copy of Moggcatcher. Win
Another way is EOT get Sensation Gorger , then in response to upkeep trigger, get Goblin Recruiter . This has bonus of discarding everyone's hand. Then you draw any five gobs you want. In this case, you can go off with Kiki + Goatnapper + Shields/Wings/ Blades of Velis Vel for meme value (turn Kiki into a goat)

Cateran Overlord can achieve same speed because it is a sac outlet itself. EOT get Moggcatcher, untap, Moggcatcher gets Kiki, Kiki copies Moggcatcher, Moggcatcher copy gets Lightning Crafter.
In response to Champion trigger, Cateran Overlord gets Changeling Berserker , Berserker champions Kiki, then let Lightning Crafter champion trigger resolve, tucking Berserker (or just sac it), which brings Kiki back untapped. Now you have Kiki untapped, Crafter, and a sac outlet, which is enough to win.

Cateran Slaver and Cateran Enforcer need three activations.

@Bovine073 , thanks for posting.

Mercenary Knight would certainly work well in a madness oriented deck, but since the only self-discarding spell I play is himself (not even 4 copies; only 3 and after getting one to my hand, I would search the rest of the copies directly with Rathi Assassin from the battlefield). So I'd got stucked with the madness cards, having to fully pay for them by their converted mana cost (which is usually super expensive, as a drawback for it's madness ability).

As for Dark Ritual, which I've already tested, it kinda helps with the "I have some high-mana cost big boys" but it doesn't help too much at accelerating my drops, since it boosts my pool only for a turn. I need permanent mana sources to be able to activate Rathi Assassin's, Silent Assassin's, Cateran Overlord's, Cateran Enforcer's and/or Rathi Intimidator's abilities (twice if Thousand-Year Elixir is on).So if I don't get Sol Ring on my starting hand, I'll just throw controll uppon the enemy: Duress, Dash Hopes, Grasp of Darkness.Good advice though, thanks again!

PS: I was just taking a look into your deck and saw a big flaw you should look into as soon as you can.
