The Mana is Infinite!

Sideboard


Modern: The domain of combos, where card interaction is king. Some games are played with restricted resources, and others intend to stall the game until they can achieve their combo with resources they naturally gain over time. I have chosen to build a deck where the resources ARE the winning combo, and here it is.

The Combos:Axebane Guardian + Freed from the Real + another defender yields infinite mana of all colors.

Bloom Tender + Freed from the Real yields infinite green mana

Freed from the Real + Kiora's Follower + Simic Growth Chamber yields infinite green

Once limitless mana is achieved, victory follows via Blue Sun's Zenith or Banefire, utilizing Skyscribing and Enter the Infinite to ensure that we can indeed establish shenanigans.

For now, the sideboard is a very rough sketch, as I'm in the process of building, and I would very much appreciate any feedback on the deck, any ideas that may not have occurred to me, and anything I could possibly do to make this deck better. I will note that I'm a semi-budget player, so things like Snapcasters, Goyfs, Mind Sculptors, Remands, and fetchlands are out of the question for the foreseeable future.

One of the biggest things I'm looking for right now is another card that can untap a dork for less than it taps for, 4 copies of Freed from the Real isn't enough. I need a way to reliably go infinite, and having only one playset has proven unreliable, even with card draw. When I say "reliably", I mean more than just ideal axebane conditions where he taps for like nine.

Thanks for the input, community!

Maybe Laboratory Maniac as a 1-of just so Enter the Infinite doesn't kill you / becomes another kind of wincon?

An interesting thought, to be sure, but I'm not casting my infinites without infinite mana, it won't get me the kill unless I've already got an axebane down, in which case it's pretty much over anyhow. Enter the Infinite is really just a draw x spell where x is the whole library, because you can never dig too deep for the victory. It is a thought, though, and I may wind up using it if I can't find more combo consistency.

Drift of Phantasms gives you effectively doubles your supply of Freed from the Real and Axebane Guardian

I use this to great success with
