I have to pick an instant speed infinite mana combo for my grixis deck. I have the option to run Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake OR Freed from the Real + Grand Architect + Pili-Pala . The pili-pala combo has a distinct advantage in that both pieces can be on the field by turn 3, but in order for it to be instant speed I need Freed from the Real , otherwise I can only use the combo after I attack and before my untap step. The additional card being required is what I would think is a huge drawback. The deadeye combo can be used immidiately and it only takes 2 combo pieces, but they have a much higher cmc. So I'm torn between the 2.

Why would you need Freed from the Real to start the combo? You can tap the Pili-Pala from the Grand Architect 's ability at any time.

Grand Architect and Pili-Pala would definitely be the best combo - in my opinion. It's two cards, and you can set the combo in place on turn three.

Yeh given that that combo is just two cards it's very good.

Always opt for two cards over three. I would swap the drake for palinchron. Palinchron is actually a good, useful card on its own. The drake isn't so much.
