My first competitive partner deck for CEDH. Its the classic Thrasios/Vial combo deck that can be executed fast enough to win before anyone else.

Why I made this deck?

I made it basically because I needed a high tier deck in order to play cEDH with my playgroup, and since then I only had optimized decks but none of them was strictly a combo-focused cEDH deck.

Combos

The main goal of the deck is to make infinite mana, don't matter how, in order to draw the entire deck with Thrasios, Triton Hero and win the game with the classic combo of Thassa's Oracle/Jace, Wielder of Mysteries + Demonic Consultation/Tainted Pact (Note: If you run Tainted Pact as a combo piece make sure you don't repeat any card name in the deck, in my case I wanted 2 Island and I put one normal and one snow-covered).

Ways to make infinite mana: Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy + Basalt Monolith (infinite colorless mana)

Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy + Birds of Paradise + Pemmin's Aura/Freed from the Real (infinite colored mana)

Bloom Tender/Sanctum Weaver + Pemmin's Aura/Freed from the Real (infinite colored mana)

Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal + Any amount of nonland permanents that combined can tap for more than 2 mana (infinite mana, colorless or colored will depend on the nonland permanents)
