A Combo Clusterfuck

Commander / EDH

ThoreaulyRed


Maybeboard


Work in progress Karn deck. Trying to use as many combo pieces together to create a deck that combos off at the slightest provocation, while doing different things each game. In general, I hate combo decks, because they are usually intended to make one specific combo work, resulting in highly predictable and repetitive play patterns. This, however, will ultimately present endless options.

Some key points: 1. At present, most cards involve at least one infinite combo, though some need cards that are coming my way still (see the Maybeboard). Some do not, but they still provide huge potential for making weird durdley turns and ensuring you always have something to do. 2. All the mana rocks produce at least 2 colorless. Most are parts of infinite mana loops. 3. This deck could be made substantially more dickish by adding Mycosynth Lattice and exploiting its numerous interactions with two of the Karns. Don't do this. Similarly, I've chosen to not include infinite turn combos, and likely won't ever add Grindstone, though there's many infinite mill combos with it possible with other cards in the present list. That said, I don't object to mill nearly as much as some of the things you can do with the bones of this list. However, there's nothing stopping you from adding those sorts of things. 4. Unlike most Karn lists, this is free of Eldrazi and Ugin, the Spirit Dragon. This is because I hate all of them. They are not bad inclusions. 5. I intend to over time make this deck as heavy on legacy-frame cards as possible, while keeping to the flexible custom combo engine theme. Legacy-frame card suggestions that meet this standard are welcome. 6. My next deck will likely be a 5-color all-artifact deck, likely lead by Ramos. Ideas welcome.
