Scholar of the Ages is here, so it's finally possible to combo with a single card in hand and 2UB mana available. This deck iteration is the one i'm experimenting with some creatures and some spells and seems the most solid. I've been using also a build with way more wizards and another with way less.

The interesting thing about this deck is that it can win no matter who you are against because we have auto mill win, opponent mill, damage though commander ability, infinite ETB for mana or tricks, and infinite turns. And it also can win on Turn 1 by opening a blue mana source, a black mana source (Chrome Mox), Mana Vault and Spellseeker! As low as 2 cards and 2 mana sources.

In maybeboard I put some spicy things you can look up to adjust the deck as you prefer that have a positive interaction with other cards. Many of these cards are expensive and you can change them with less valuable cards. Don't hesitate to comment to ask for a substitution to one expensive card if you can't notice which would be the best.

Main Combo:

Prerequisites: 4+ mana and Spellseeker (at least 2UB mana available).

1. Cast Spellseeker

2. Resolve Spellseeker's ETB trigger: find Culling the Weak (Inalla, Archmage Ritualist's trigger is still on the stack)

3. Cast Culling the Weak targeting Spellseeker (now we have 4 mana again)

4. Resolve Inalla, Archmage Ritualist's trigger. Token's ETB. Resolve token's trigger: find Unearth (3 mana available)

5. Cast Unearth on Spellseeker (2 mana available)

6. Resolve Spellseeker's ETB trigger and pay 1 mana for Inalla, Archmage Ritualist's clone and find both Burnt Offering and Finale of Promise (you have now 1 mana but you will gain them again)

7. Cast Burnt Offering targeting Spellseeker (3 mana again)

8. Cast Finale of Promise targeting Culling the Weak and Unearth (we use all 3 mana on Finale of Promise to gain 4 mana from Culling the Weak and use Unearth again on Spellseeker)

9. Resolve triggers, Spellseeker original and clone's ETBs: find Entomb and Reanimate (we have 4 mana available)

10. Find Scholar of the Ages with Entomb and Reanimate it (we still have 2 mana available after this step)

You can now loop Burnt Offering and Reanimate effects with Spellseeker and Scholar of the Ages to grab Demonic Tutor and whatever else you want.

Secondary Combo:

1. Cast Entomb or Buried Alive to search Wanderwine Prophets or discard it with other ways, the important thing in this combo is to have it in graveyard.

2. Cast Reanimate, Animate Dead, Necromancy, Shallow Grave, Corpse Dance or Bloodline Necromancer or use the Apprentice Necromancer's ability to put Wanderwine Prophets onto the battlefield.

3. Inalla, Archmage Ritualist and champion of Wanderwine Prophets both trigger and you put champion on the stack first, then Inalla, Archmage Ritualist's trigger on top.

4. Pay 1 mana and create a token clone of Wanderwine Prophets.

5. The token's champion ability triggers and is put on the stack and you exile the original Wanderwine Prophets.

6. The original's champion trigger resolves, and you don't champion anything, and cannot sacrifice the original.

7. You attack with the token, it deals combat damage to the defending player, it triggers and the trigger is put on the stack. Sacrifice the token, so the original Wanderwine Prophets return.

8. Repeat steps 3 to 6.

9. The game eventually moves to the end step, which triggers the token exile, so you exile the token, triggering champion to return the original Wanderwine Prophets.

10. Repeat steps 3 to 6.

11. The turn eventually ends, and your extra turn begins.

12. Loop to step 7 for taking infinite turns.

Win Conditions

• Inalla, Archmage Ritualist's Passive abiltity (tap 5 wizards, deal 7 damage)
• Thassa's Oracle (auto mill)
• Dimir Machinations (opponent mill)
• Inalla, Archmage Ritualist + Wanderwine Prophets (infinite turns)
• Anathemancer (infinite damage).
• Attacking with infinite creatures after combo

Useful Moves

• Use the Trinket Mage and Trophy Mage ETB abilitys to search your mana artifacts.
• Use the effect of Riptide Laboratory and Cloudstone Curio to recycle your Wizards.
• Use the effect of Naban, Dean of Iteration and Panharmonicon to try and gain as much as value from your wizards while we can't combo.
