This is a Modern legal deck that I made a while ago. It uses the Arbor Elf + Devoted Druid to get infinite mana and ramp with either the Helix Pinnacle or Staff of Domination to get to a win state. It works decently well enough, just looking for some pointers. Thank you!!!
How do arbor elf and devoted Druid make infinite mana together?

@Bookrook maybe he’s thinking of Vizier of Remedies, that’s the only thing I can think of.

My bad g, its the Devoted Druid and Ezuri, Renegade Leader that make it

Devoted Druid makes 1 mana, and Ezuri's ability costs 5 to give +3/+3.
So you spend 5 mana to get 3 mana. Doesn't go infinite unless you have multiples.
So the earliest you can get this combo online is turn 4 (turn 1 mana dork 2 mana, turn 2 ezuri 3 mana, turn 3 2 devoted druids 4 mana, turn 4 7 mana and can go off), but it requires you to play 4-5 cards, of which all your combo pieces die to the most removal in the format.
So yeah this combo isn't very good for modern, a fast format with a lotta good removal.
Is this just for kitchen table modern or competitive modern?
