MTG Combo: Austere Command + Darksteel Forge + Mycosynth Lattice

There was the night we all played Board_Wrath.dec at the same table. No one had jammed that many wraths in but we all drew into them. It was Sen Triplets combo, original Avacyn as angels / Worldslayer, my Meren of Clan Nel Toth stax deck, Edric, Spymaster of Trest 1/1 flier tribal, and a Tasigur deck running ~20 counterspells that could only win through infinite turns loop and commander damage.

Edric was having a really good game, continually drawing into a swarm of creatures to try and snowball us all. Avacyn player drops Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite to clear his board, though, but Sen Triplets didn't want Elesh to stay around for long so she ate a Detention Sphere. Two turns later Edric is right back on top of things, including a Thada Adel, Acquisitor that we all knew could end the game if it connected with Sen Triplets. And here I was with 3 mana open and Krosan Grip in hand. I cast it on the Detention Sphere during Edric's combat phase, freeing Elesh to again wipe his board.

At various points in that game a Nevinyrral's Disk (Avacyn), Toxic Deluge (me), Cyclonic Rift (Tasigur), and finally Ugin setting up Austere Command + Darksteel Forge + Mycosynth Lattice from Sen Triplets to finish the game. It took us at least 2.5 hours even through quick play and if Triplets hadn't managed to drop Ugin, I would have won the very next turn.
