Infinite mana, which is easy in so many ways, Kamal, First of Krosa or Jurl, master of beasts (I think that's the name but limits to one player and reduces cost to 2G), and any board wipe. 😛
One of the funniest Combos i Play in my Low Power Decks is stuffy soll + pharia. I call it "Stop hitting yourself". Also witg guilty conscience you get a oneshot Combo If you can give haste
@@jamesb7257 if I came up with the idea myself. Something clever like that and would be happy. But if I were to now use them for a quick cheesy win, I would feel stupid.
Another Jank combo: Put Immortal Coil on the battlefield, give it to your opponent with Bazaar Trader, then empty its graveyard with a Tormod's Crypt. 3 cards Red/Black, and not expensive
So RBU trade deck, where you donate to your enemy and take for yourself, with multiple instant wins like demonic pact, immortal Coil, etc. Daring Thief deck. Or Puca's Mischief deck. Sounds fun
• Felidar Guardian $ 0.67 • Mirage Mirror $ 1.86 • Mirror March $ 0.36 You put Mirror March and Mirage Mirror on the battlefield (mir-mir copying mir-mar). Then you cast Felidar. You have one enchantment for heads and the other for tails. The new token will blink the original Felidar creating another token with blink. You wil have infinite amount of them. Mar-mir Peruvian combo? FYI: Peru's flag is red and white. Note: I am terrible for names :p
I wanted to do something really fun with Fractured Identity when I first saw it. Get something that gives you Hexproof and play Fractured Identity on that to give each other player Hexproof. Then you play Sky Swallower, an 8/8 flier that makes you give target opponent all other permanents you control, but the effect fizzles because of Hexproof. Play Fracture Identity again, many tricks to get it back or play it from the graveyard, targeting Sky Swallower and then gain control of all permanents other than the Sky Swallower tokens because you are the only legal target. All that can be done in just a Blue and White deck.
My favorite combo has always been as follows; First, have Bruniclad and Oviya Pashiri (I might have spelled that wrong lol) on the field. Then play Master Of Waves, hopefully with a high devotion to blue, and get a bunch of 1/0 elementals. Then activate Oviya's second ability to make an X/X construct, where X is the number of creatures you control. Then use Bruniclad's ability to turn all of the 1/0's into X/X constructs. Instant army of big bois lol.
Favorite Jank combo I've never seen pulled off, but would love to: Any "Pact" card (Pact of Negation is my favorite for this concept, but Intervention Pact and Pact of the Titan are cheapest) plus Sudden Substitution. Cast your pact, steal a creature from whomever you hate the most, and watch them (probably; chromatic lantern notwithstanding) lose on their next upkeep.
I dont know how much more effective this is but a buddy of mine gave me a strat better than phage, use a creature named Leveler. Its only 5 colorless for a 10/10 that forces you to exile your library when it enters but its a cheaper combo than phage and all you need to do is pass the turn after you fractured identity it
One of my favorites is an Azorius combo which is a bit complicated but super fun: Have Nephalia Smuggler and Conjurers Closet on the field. Then, cast either Part the Waterveil or Karn's Temporal Sundering (if you have your commander). With those extra turn spells in exile take your next turn, and cast Pull From Eternity and Archaeomancer. Now you essentially have infinite turns by targeting both the extra turn and pull, and bouncing with closet and smuggler. It is difficult though, but I still love the combo.
Bronze bombshell and endless whispers can also use bazaar trader and intruder alarm to combo out if you don't have the sac outlet. I just pieced that combo together in my head like a day ago and here it is in a video. Awesome!
Love the combos! If your opponents lands are indestructible somehow for the Natural Affinity + Ezuri's Predation combo, you could even use Elesh Norn. This way you don't need 12 mana in one turn, but you would need white in the deck.
I like my scape shift, splendid reclamation combo. Dump all your land into the grave, search all new ones. Then dump all the grave land straight onto the battlefield. It adds up fast. Ive had 22 land on turn 7.
My first and favourite deck that I have been playing for a decade now is my Ghave Rube Goldberg deck. The entire point of the deck is to combo as much as possible without going infinite. It is filled with jank combos that you normally don't see and I love it.
So I know the video is older but still I wanted to comment the jankiest combo I ever played. It consists of "Knacksaw Clique" "paradise mantle" and "Training Grounds" so you can completly exile all opponents libaries and play all of the cards exiled until end of turn. Hope anyone enjoys this as much as I did.
I currently have two janky combos in the works right now. The first one was something that I was proud of thinking up, but takes a lot of set-up. It's in a Kangee deck that involves infinite mana through Isochron/Dramatic Reversal, then dropping either an extra turn spell or Lightning Greaves/Blade of Selves, dropping Dovescape, then playing Kangee with an arbitrarily large number of feather counters and playing an arbitrarily large Blue Sun's Zenith. The other one is in an enchantress deck that involves Enchanted Evening, Ajani's Chosen, Eidolon of Blossoms, and Lab Man as a win con.
Mitch you should add the combo: Decree of Silence and Solemnity. Its budget for sure! Decree of Silence is a 6UU enchantment that states "whenever an opponent would cast a spell, counter that spell and put a time counter on Decree of Silence. If Decree of Silence has 3 or more time counters, sacrifice it. Solemnity states that Players cant get counters, counters cannot be put on permanents (other than planeswalkers). Basically you drop solemnity you drop Decree of Silence and youre opponents can never cast spells. Solemnity also works with Phyrexian Unlife to make you unable to die to loss of life or damage unless it is commander damage I believe
For my favorite combo you need; Nekusar, the Mindrazer Dual casting Barbed Shocker Megrim Diminishing Returns And, Whispering Madness Cast the first four in any order, attaching Dual Casting to Nekusar. Then cast Diminishing Returns, making sure Nekusar has been out for one full turn already since he doesn't have haste. After that, cast Whispering Madness, activating Dual Casting on Nekusar to copy Whispering Madness, and then Cipher both copies of Whispering Madness to Barbed Shocker. Then attack with Barbed Shocker, and as long as they block it, Barbed Shocker will cause them to cycle through their hand three time once again. This will cause one player to take 42 damage from Nekusar and the rest of your opponents to take 35 damage from Nekusar. Plus Megrim will also trigger when they discard, so one player will take at least 70 damage, and the rest of your opponents will take at least 56 damage. This combo can be even more powerful with the cards; Spark Double (making a copy of Nekusar) Mirrormade (making a copy of Dual Casting, and putting it on the copy of Nekusar, so you can copy Whispering Madness twice) Dictate of th Twin Gods Raiders' Wake Fell Specter And, Phyresis (on Nekusar) Note getting this combo in its complete form is really hard to pull off, but it works pretty well incomplete as well, as long as you have the right cards. Yes this combo is overkill, but I don't care, it's so much fun to use.
These are pretty cool. I used to run a Bronze Bombshell/Endless Whispers combo, but simply ran Death Cloud as a way to not only sacrifice my Bombshell, but just deal massive amounts of damage with multiple Bombshells *note, we didn't play commander back in the day so these were just casual games*
My go to jank combo is Bolas's Citadel + Aetherflux Resevoir + Mana Severance. With the Citadel and Reservoir on the field, cast mana severance to exile all your lands in your library. Then you have to to cast about 20 spells from your deck with the Citadel to gain enough life (about 200 or so) from the reservoir to shoot the table. It's janky since you need legal targets for all your spells but super satisfying if you pull it off.
Vorel Commander, magistrate wand, something like Surge Node to give wand a charge counter, and a proliferate source/way to untap Vorel. 4 card infinite turns. Or my personal favorite: Big Life Vorel. Vorel doubles counters, Eternity Vessel sets your life total to charge counters on it, Vorel continues to double it. Playing any land sets your life to 320+ after 3 turns. Playing Group Hug Vorel also works since no one targets you. Then when your life total is 200+, throw out the Aetherflux Reservoir, and now you don’t need a breakable chain to kill.
A very fun somewhat janky combo is Flash + academy rector + omniscience. It is somewhat expensive, but when you assemble it you are nigh unstoppable if you build your deck right. Card draw, land destruction, big fatties, just cast your entire deck and win with lab man, you can pretty much do whatever and still win.
Morophon anthem deck with 5 or more anthem creatures in play under your control. Equip either Runed Stalactite or Amorphous Axe to Champion of Lambholt. Now you have a beefed up unblockable who can hit really hard without the need of pumping it up with +1/+1 counters. Having Lovisa Coldeyes or Samut, Voice of Dissent out can give Champion haste and attack on the turn you play them.
My personal favorite is Lunar Force, a card that makes enchantments creatures like Opalescence or Starfield of Nyx, and Assault Suit. If you equip the suit to Lunar Force, its effect of being sacrificed to counter an opponent's next spell won't sacrifice it, but since the sacrifice isn't a cost it'll still counter the spell. Now every spell an opponent casts will be countered unless the spell can't be countered. I run it in my Estrid deck.
Okay, so i've had this idea for years now but i don't think i'll ever actually get to play it. It involves old Rakdos, and yes i mean the really old one, the one that basicly makes everyone sac half of their non-demon permanents rounded up when he attacks. Theres an old card, from antiquities i think, called Kormus's bell that turns all swamps into 1/1's. Combine that with conspiracy, urborg and then, and here's the kicker, liquimetal coating and karn so you can animate conspiracy and the bell, you can have rakdos be a one sided "sac half your permanents" whenever he attacks. Now that is what i call value. (If you want to be nasty, throw in an It That Betrays or something, but leave me out of it okay?) I never said it was a good combo, but boy would it be funny to assemble it and watch as your opponents frown in disbelief over the fact that you spent like 3-4 tutors setting this up
Enchanted Evening with Cleansing Meditation can also be a way to get addition trigger, Mana, etc. And it's white to keep the colors necessary for the deck to work down to 2.
Cultural Exchange - two players exchange the same number of total creatures; in response cast Mirrorweave on Bronze Bombshell. Two opponents exchanges 6 Bronze Bombshells and each explodes for 42 damage. Infinite Reflection on Bronze Bombshell cast Reins of Power or Twist Allegiance, switch creatures, they get explodes you get to swing in.
By far this is my most favorite jankiest combo that I pulled off against my buddy a while back. So here's the setup: Paragon Drake + Deadeye navigator to generate infinite mana. From there I casted sun titan and had a magus of the wheel in the graveyard. Lastly I equipped lightning greaves to the magus and activated his ability. After magus went to the graveyard, I bounced deadeye and then paired him with sun titan. Ultimately I milled out my buddy and myself until I hit lab maniac and kept milling till I won the game.
Okay, it's a 6 card combo that wins me a ton of games. You have the gitrog monster in play as well as skirge familiar, then you have dakmor salvage in hand. This will generate you infinite black mana. (I learned this one from you, mitch.) Then you use that mana to cast ayara, first of locthwain or syr konrad. Either works. Then at some point, you have either milled or casted reassembling skeleton. All you need at that point is a sac outlet. Altar of dementia is pretty good. Personally, i like ashnod's altar because it stands alone as being a fantastic card. You use skeleton's activated ability and ayara or syr konrad kills the table. Alternatively, enchanted evening + opalescence. Your opponents can now no longer play lands. nyxbloom ancient + rite of replication can make it so each of your permanents tap for 243 times more mana. 729 if the original was yours. Imagine floating 729 mana with an arcane signet.
My ultimate group hug combos... Weird Harvest: Everyone tutors X creatures to their hand; use it to tutor Tempting Wurm for yourself. Play Tempting Wurm: everyone dumps all their best creatures at once. A similar combo is play Boldwyr Heavyweights: Each opponent tutors 1 creature directly to the BF. Then hit it with Fractured Identity: Each of your opponents gets 2 more creature-to-BF tutors and you get 3.
Parallax wave + opalescent/star field of nyx : exile a creature using the wave’s ability, respond to it by using the wave’s ability to target itself. When both abilities resolve, the creature will remain in exile. Can also combo with oblivion ring to exile all non-land permanents.
Saffi Eriksdotter, Renegade Rallier, a free sac outlet like Viscera Seer, and a Blood Artist effect. I used to like to get them all in the graveyard with Buried Alive and then cast Rally the Ancestors when people were tapped out to do the combo and instant speed. Very fun when it works.
I prefer cleansing meditation for the enchanted evening combo. It's 1ww for destroy all enchantments threshold-then return all permanents you own that where destroyed this way to the battlefield. Get your etbs and all of your lands become untapped
Cryptolith Rite, Spawning Pit, Lightning Greaves, Winding Constrictor. Have constrictor in play with another like 1/1, sac the 1/1 to spawning pit, before you sac it tap for mana With Winding Constrictors static, it puts two counters on it instead, use the 1 floating mana and have a blood artist in play too.
One jank combo I know of is nearheath Pilgrim + Volcano Hellion + Boros Reckoner: Pair Pilgrim with Hellion and target Reckoner with hellio's etb with any amount. You take essentialy 0 dmg thx to lifelink and reckoner takes out 1 player. Add blinks like Resto angel or cloudshift for multiple reckoner triggers.
Fun combo with another player’s card that I found: Consecrated Sphinx when they have a Notion Thief. The next time they draw, it triggers Consecrated Sphinx and you choose to draw 2. They have to take those draws. That triggers Consecrated Sphinx again... If they don’t have a Lab Man out, they mill themselves to death.
Fun simic combo. You give your opponents infinite turns (that you control) Emrakul promised end, temur sabertooth, any creature flash enabler, seedborn muse, and enough land mana to both cast and bounce emrakul (max 15, min 8)
Mana Short + Kefnet (the Amonket) + Mystic Sanctuary + any way to draw an extra card each of your turns. Someone doesn't get to play the game. There may be ways to upgrade the combo as well. If you can tap all lands when a land becomes tapped just play early frost and shut down all your opponents at once. Winter Orb makes things really fun. An alternative way to set it up is the card that makes all permanents enchantments + The new creature from Theros that bounces an enchantment each upkeep + Mystic Sanctuary + Mana Short. Then run Back to Nature as a panic button and some indestructible permanents like darksteel cards and drownyard temple. Frozen Aether can amplify the effect with Winter Orb. I'm an evil magic player. The good news is I haven't built it... yet.
Another fun one is Niv-Mizzet Parun + Curiosity. Play any instant or sorcery, Niv-Mizzet deals damage to opponent, you draw a card from curiosity and since you drew you can have Niv-Mizzet do damage again. Rinse repeat until opponent is dead :)
My favourite combo is with Lethal Vapours and Teferi's Protection, activate lethal vapours a million times and play Teferi's protection, nothing happens to u for a million turn rotations
I think, considering the priority system, that you need an extra card (krosan grip) : - To hold priority and skip 92+ turns. - still holdin priority, cast Teferi's Protection - still hold priority and cast Krosan Grip targetting the lethal vapour. Else your opponents will be able to skip that many turns in response to Teferi's protection. If they don't realise they should do so... several cases of 'you don't win' may happen.
Long post, buckle up. -I've had good luck with Ashling the Pilgrim and Scythe of the Wretched. Basilisk Collar or Blade of the Bloodchief can boost it, but winding up with basically all creatures on the board feels GOOOOOOD. -Gratuitous Violence plus Heartless Hidetsugu is a fun way to end a game, just remember to try to protect yourself somehow (or dont, as nuking everything from orbit can also be a good answer). -In my Prossh list I have a ton of fun with Purphoros, God of the Forge. A favorite combo is Mitotic Slime, Goblin Bombardment, and PGotF. Feldon of the Third Path (or any reanimation effects ever) make it repeatable. In face, replace Slime with whatever token generator you want, it'll all work out in the end. It's just abusing Purphoros really, and that's not exactly an impressive combo.
I would never run those in Commander because it's too hard to assemble without tons of tutors, but I have built several of the aforementioned combos in 60 card decks. The Demonic Pact/Harmless Offering/Bazaar Trader/Abyssal Persecutor/Immortal Coil/Bojuka Bog deck won a surprising number of games. My favorite jank combo game ever, though, I used Dark Ritual/Dark Ritual/Animate Land/Erradicate to strip every Plains out of my friend's deck on turn 2. It was hilarious. And Bronze Bombshell was a staple in my Confusion in the Ranks deck. Good times.
I like running Sanguine Bond and Exquisite Blood in my Kambal deck. The fact that the combo doesn't go off immediately but is almost always inevitable if the pieces are allowed to resolve leads to some fun and anxious tension over who is finally going to trigger everyone's doom.
Darksteel Forge, Mycosynth Lattice, Nev's Disk. Everyone else's stuff goes boom, but it takes a lot of setup. On the bright side, you get to stall everyone else long enough to get your real win con.
Fractured Identity + Radiate. Fractured Identity: Exile target nonland permanent. Each player other than its controller creates a token that's a copy of it. Radiate: Choose target instant or sorcery spell that targets only a single permanent or player. Copy that spell for each other permanent or player the spell could target. Each copy targets a different one of those permanents and players. So together, all players lose all permanents they control, and gain all permanents that they don’t, one of my favourites in my chaos deck!
idk if this works (it is also a little cmc expensive): -Villis, Broker of blood -Curse of Fool's Wisdom (Use on self) -Psychosis Crawler Draw a card (if all are present): win the game...? (if you have enough cards in deck and opposing life totals are lower than the cards in your deck)
Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle on board with Darksteel Relic and some free sac outlet (etc. Demonmail Hauberk). Play Glint Hawk, bunce relic, sacrifice glint hawk, play relic, teshar brings glint hawk back, bounce relic and so on. Just add something to abuse the loop (Blasting Station instead of Demonmail Hauberk). Not so janky or budget but Linden, the Steadfast Queen + Archangel of Thune. Also Syr Konrad, the Grim + Mindcrank. May need some push but wil do it's work.
One of my absolute favorite commander decks is all about one janky combo. It's Tajic, Legions Edge Goblin Tribal. It takes a bunch to set up, but basically it is looking for Skirk Fire Marshal. With Tajic preventing the damage to your creatures, all you need is CoP Red or another damage preventer and you can usually get a I e sided board wipe, plus ten to everyone's face. Add in damage doublers and untap effects and occasionally you can drop the Fire Marshal and deal 40 out of nowhere.
Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient, Auto-empowered Generator, Voltaic Key, Tome of Jayamedde, The Chain Veil, Chandra Bold Pyromancer/Chandra Flames Fury and Chandra Acolyte of Flame, Chandra Awakened Inferno : the generator combined with a key while kurkesh is out allows an arbitrary amount of mana. draw out your deck with the tome, then use your Chain veil to allow your Chanrdas to climb arbitrarily high because of acolyte of flame. for maximum BM, you kill your opponent with Flames Fury or Bold Pyromancer ults. but just giving a few thousand awakened inferno emblems to all your opponents works just as well.
I play Hellkite Charger and Savage Ventmaw in my Ur-dragon deck. I often will use defense of the heart put both into play at the same time for an easy win. Assuming you have a haste an enabler(Such as Dragon Tempest, Temur Ascendancy, etc) otherwise you will need cast the Ventmaw first, and then bring in the Hellkite charger first. You can use the ventmaw's mana to repeatedly attack your opponents. It's not unlimited since you will fall 1 short of the 7 you will need pay 1 mana to attack each time instead of 7, but if you have any other dragons and mana open you will be able to attack several times and end a game quickly as you will be able to score tons of damage with your flight of dragons.
Lilliana of the dark realms has a -6 ability that gives you an emblem reading "swamps you control have (tap) add bbbb to your manapool" Combine this with urborg and all lands you control can tap for four black. Its like cabal coffers + urborg but probably less expensive, (idk how much most cards are wirth and i don't care enough to look it up) and also giving more mana (although it also takes more set up since you need to get lilliana from 3 loyalty to 6 in order to get the emblem.)
In pauper edh there is a combo with Mirran Spy + Banishing Knack + Ornothopter + Impact tremors. There are a few substitutes for each card to make it slightly more consistent.
It's not a guaranteed win but playing Undead Alchemist and Altar of the Brood is quite satisfying. Each time a permanent etb's, Altar of the Brood makes all your opponents mill. Undead Alchemist says when an opponent mills a creature, the card is exiled and you put a zombie creature token on the field. Works best in large pods with minimal spell slingers!
Cloudhoof Kirin + Psychic Puppetry + Petals of Insight + Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx + devotion 8. Cloudhoof is devotion 2, so that helps. So, Nykthos for 8. Cast Petals, splice Puppetry, spending 6. Casting triggers Kirin, milling target player 5. Choose first option on Petals, returning it to your hand. Puppetry untaps Nykthos. Two floating, Nykthos for 8. Keep going.
If you run Atraxa with very specific setup you can do Great Aurora with Notion Thief yeah? O-Ring Notion Thief and then cast Great Aurora ends up doing the same thing as Plagiarize just to every player. Unless Im missing something
A fun janky brew I came up with for EDH. Mono black artifacts! King Macar, the Gold-Cursed + Silverskin Armor + Clock of Omens Once King Macar is an artifact, you can tap himself and Silverkin Armor to untap King Macar, exiling a creature and creating an untapped gold token. You can then proceed to tap King Macar and your new gold token to untap King Macar again, and again. Rinse and repeat until you've exiled all creatures, creating a Gold token for each one exiled this way. Unlike Treasure, Gold tokens don't need to be tapped when sacrificed for mana, so feel free to go ham when you combo off.
Opalescence + Parallax Wave infinitely exiles all creatures your opponents have and it sticks around until on of them has enchantment removal. If you also have Parallax Tide in play it exiles all their lands as well and can do so as they play lands, which essentially is a hard-lock.
one of my favorite combos is howling mine (or any other card that has everyone draw more than one card during their draw step) + hive mind + enter the infinite. play the combo and watch as your enemies lose during their draw step
I've done the Tainted Remedy and Beacon of Immortality combo... Then I cast Fork. Aria of Flame has some fun combos with cheap Buyback spells as well, like the Buyback Fog.
Might not be budget, don't know their prices anymore, but I always liked the following two combos. Frenetic Efreet + Chance Encounter = flip coins till you win Tunnel Vision + Grave Troller or Hinder = the have only one card left in library. can be countered with a lot of decks having graveyard control but still can be funny
I used to use Donate with Derelor from Fallen Empires, then use sleight of mind to change Derelor to read: all your "color you're playing" spells cost {B} more. It's pure jank lock.
the jankiest combo that I can think of is one that I have been able to use once, and it was because the group wanted to see what would happen. The cards are Aethersquall ancient, Gonti's Aether Heart, Saheeli's artistry, and mechanized production. This is a combo that can take a while to get going and it is used to get infinite turns, so if your opponents are paying attention this does not happen very often. and the CMC for everything is pretty high. Aethersquall Ancient (5, blue, blue) says: At the beginning of your upkeep you get 3 energy. pay 8 energy Return all other creatures to their owners hands. only activate at sorcery speed (You do not care about the second effect) Gonti's Aether Heart (6) Says: Whenever Gonti's Aether Heart or another artifact enters the battlefield under your control you get 2 energy. Pay 8 energy, exile Gonti's Aether Heart and take another turn after this one. Saheeli's Artistry (4, blue blue) says: Choose one or both create a token that's a copy of target artifact Create a token that is a copy of target creature except it's an artifact in addition to its other types. Mechanized Production (2, blue, blue) says: Enchant artifact you control At the beginning of your upkeep, create a token that's a copy of enchanted artifact. Then if you control eight or more artifacts with the same name as another you win the game. I would reccomend getting aether squall ancient on the field first and copy it with saheeli's artistry. This way you have six energy every upkeep and you only need eight. then you want to play Gonti's Aether Heart and then attach Mechanized Production to it. your next upkeep you have multiple triggeres happen, and because it is your turn you have priority and can arrange the triggers how you want. the stack looks something like this: Upkeep: 2 aethsquall ancient triggers for 6 energy then Mechanized Production triggers copying Gonti's Aether Heart 2 Aether Heart Triggers get 4 energy. Legenday Rule Trigger Gonti's Aether Heart is a Legendary Artifact so the Legenday Rule kicks in forcing you to sacrifice one In response to having to sac an Aether Heart, pay 8 Engery and exile the token to take another turn Repeat every upkeep
This requires blue and tokens. I use it in my Bant bird deck. Both cards are blue, and require you to have more creatures than your opponents, so it is best to have some token poppers. First, play Standardize: "Choose a creature type. All creatures become that creature type until the end of turn." followed by Peer Pressure: "Choose a creature type: "Choose a creature type. If you control more creatures of that type than each other player, you gain control of all creatures of that type. (This effect lasts indefinitely.)" This is a good way to capture everyone's commander and whatever creature's they have on the field.
My favorite deck is a Morophon wizards deck that can combo off in a few different (all some degree of janky) ways, with my favorite using Morophon, Retraction Helix, Derevi, and a creature like Inspired Sprite to make infinite mana.
I'm still looking for the perfect deck to run my boros extra turns. I'm thinking of gwyn, but the black isn't really needed for the wincon. Sunforger, Chance For Glory (or any of the take a turn, lose next next in red), Angel's Grace (or Sundial of the Infinite to stifle the trigger), Reito Lantern (or sth to return cards back into the deck). Costs a lot of mana, but hey? You were looking for jank
I pulled off a really janky combo recently in a game of commander. Was playing bant, I had hedron crab on the fild. I cast clone having 2 of them. I cast boundless realms. And I had 15 lands in play. Causing me to put 15 basic lands and being able to mill 90 cards. Killing one of the other players and bringing another to near death via mill. The goal of the deck was not to mill *crab tribal* but it was a sick combo.
My Favorite Jank Combos: Knowledge Exploitation + Eye of the Storm = Cast all instant and sorcery cards in your opponent's decks There's also Hive Mind + 10 or more Arcane spells exiled with it + Mindslaver/Emrakul Promised End + Ishi-Ishi. That one's my absolute favorite and jank as hell way to kill an opponent, so long as they have an instant or sorcery in hand
Jank combo's... Price of glory + war's toll + fade away Dismiss into dream + shoving match/gigadrowse Hive mind + final fortune + sundial of the infinite
In my crab commander I have a couple janks. The pemmins aura mana engine with my commander, Arixmethes and stroke of genius with reliquary tower. I also have arcane augmentation and slinn voda, mana is not a problem for me so declaring krakens and then kicking a slinn voda is a fun board wipe
I run a Jhoira Weatherlight Captain build and I love the idea of using Mana Severance leaving 1 Mountain in my deck then hitting a Goblin Charbelcher activation.
I was using Eradicate + Mishra's Groundbreaker ever since Eradicate was first printed. Because Mishra's Groundbreaker turns a target land into an artifact creature, Splinter can replace Eradicate. Mishra's Groundbreaker is more expensive in terms of mana cost, but it's also more versatile - sometimes, you just need that 3/3 creature. For turning lands into creatures, my favorite combo is Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Kormus Bell. It doesn't work with the eradicate combo, since all lands are black creatures; my go-to combo with this is Massacre Wurm. It's worth noting that, oddly enough, neither Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth nor Kormus Bell have a color identity. Kormus Bell is a colorless artifact that just happens to have the "black" key word in its text; and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth does not actually have an inherent mana-producing ability, it just gives itself one once it's in play.
Natural Affinity + Elesh Norn Mycosynth Lattice + Hellkite Tyrant Sundering Titan + Soulherder Neheb, The Eternal + Aggravated Assault Some of these are pricy, but they're awesome to see work.
My jank combo is Aminatou+Oath of Teferi+Spark Double+whatever I will have there with ETB on the table on in my hand. It's fair in casual, cuz of 4 cards you need to lunch it and it's always different due to this 4th card that does the job. Drawing all the deck with Baleful Strix or dealing damage with Sorin, Grim Nemesis or using Mnemonic Wall on whatever is in your grave... In Captain Sisay I had Natural Affinity that I was using with boardwipes and Heroic Intervention or Odric and a god... fun combos are hard combos.
Three relatively benign cards that together are not: warstorm surge, restoration angel, and felidar guardian. Actually guardian and the angel with any etb trigger really. They start looping infinitely, one bouncing the other, to achieve the ETB effect of your choice.
Platinum Angel + Abyssal Persecutor + Neurok Stealthsuit... I'm not playing Stax, you can still "play" MtG... we won't be ending anytime soon though... Hope you have fun
Kormus Bell + Urborg: Tomb of Yawgmoth + March of The Machines + Arcane Spyglass + Dreamscape Artist + Intruder Alarm + (In hand) Blue Sun's Zenith + (In Hand or Play) Elixir of Immortality: Kormus Bell turns ALL Swamps into 1/1 Creatures, Urborg: Tomb of Yawgmoth turns all lands into swamps (All lands are now creatures) March of the Machines turns all artifacts into creatures (so now all lands and artifacts are creatures) Arcane Spyglass allows you to sacrifice a land to draw a card for two mana when you tap it (This is important). Dreamscape Artist says: "T Sacrifice a land, Discard a Card: Put two Land cards into play (untapped) from your library)" This also puts two creatures into play because of the lands are creatures Intruder Alarm says that when a creature enters the battlefield you untap all creatures in play (which now includes lands and artifacts), since this triggers twice for each Dreamscape Artist use you get to tap all your lands for mana once, and all your lands for mana again, minus two (because you need to use the spyglass to ensure you draw a card to allow Dreamscape artist to keep going, and you need to sacrifice a land so you put 2 lands into your graveyard for every 2 you take out of your deck, this sets a net in-play land balance of 0 lands. This works until you run out of lands in your library (when you have also drawn a number of cards, have a massive pile of mana, and have a pile of lands in your graveyard. Next you use the Elixir for 3 of your mana to put the lands (and the elixir itself) back into your library, allowing you to continue the loop ad-infinitum with a net change of lands in your library of 0. This gives you unlimited card draws (as long as you have at least 3 cards in hand, one of which being the zenith) and unlimited mana (but ALL PLAYERS get the mana advantage). Since this is all at instant speed you can loop this as often as you want until you get exactly the card from your deck you want into hand (but it takes N! attempts on average since you're essentially using iterated BOGOSORT to find it). This means you can always have the Zenith as many times as you want. Then you can kill your opponents with mill by casting the Zenith for as much mana as possible. I present to you the most convoluted, and probably WORST infinite combo in magic that wins the game, it's mono-blue legal, and allows you to toolbox infinitely as well (so once it's online you can keep searching up counter-magic as you need it (and other easier card draw) but just in the least efficient way possible. Have fun confusing your friends by explaining it :-).
My favourite one is with Scion of the Ur Dragon and Dragon Tempest on the field, and with any revival on hand. First you copy Bladewing the Risen with Scion, then you revive it. When it comes into play, the Dragon Tempest effect and Bladewing effects are put in the stack, but before they resolve you have to apply the Legend Rule (since you'll basically have 2 Bladewing on the field). You put the original one in he graveyard, let his ability (put a Dragon permanent from Graveyard to the field. He's basically gonna target himself, since he's now in the Graveyard) and Dragon Tempest (deal 2 damage to any target) ability resolve. Rinse and repeat your infinite combo. And I'd say it's pretty janky for using the Legendary Rule.
You say "Jank" I say tactical victory.
Keep up the Awesome!!!
“Mass land destruction in a mono green deck. Who knew.”
Says the guy who built a mono green land destruction deck
Infinite mana, which is easy in so many ways, Kamal, First of Krosa or Jurl, master of beasts (I think that's the name but limits to one player and reduces cost to 2G), and any board wipe. 😛
Enchanted Evening is much cooler with Aura Thief. Gain control of EVERY PERMANENT.
That's evil. I LOVE it!
That's actually happened to me
I came close to pulling that combo off... Just made me public enemy #1. Didn't help I as had a yavimaya enchantress in play too
Enchanted Evening, Greater Auramancy, and Oath of Teferi is pretty fun for people to try to find a workaround to.
One of the funniest Combos i Play in my Low Power Decks is stuffy soll + pharia. I call it "Stop hitting yourself". Also witg guilty conscience you get a oneshot Combo If you can give haste
"The quickest and cheapest way to lose your play group and all of your friends"
cool ideas, but I think they would be cheap wins. I would feel dirty if I won by using these.
I would not.
@@jamesb7257 if I came up with the idea myself. Something clever like that and would be happy. But if I were to now use them for a quick cheesy win, I would feel stupid.
A win is a win..especially against spikes..
I love seeing combos go off, even if its an opponent. Youll never appreciate combo play until you do it yourself.
I really like mass land destruction, but mass REMOVE LANDS FROM THE LIBRARY is a whole new level for me.
...I kinda love it.
you will learn quickly that will get people to never play with you again or everyone will blitz to kill you first every game
Another Jank combo:
Put Immortal Coil on the battlefield, give it to your opponent with Bazaar Trader, then empty its graveyard with a Tormod's Crypt.
3 cards Red/Black, and not expensive
That's evil... I love it.
Immortal coil, fractured identity, and scavenger grounds if you want to wipe all opponents out at once
So RBU trade deck, where you donate to your enemy and take for yourself, with multiple instant wins like demonic pact, immortal Coil, etc.
Daring Thief deck. Or Puca's Mischief deck. Sounds fun
You could also use Bajuka bog
or maybe Ashiok Dream Render at 3usd :D
Favorite Jank combo:
Decree of Silence + Solemnity
Counter every spell, forever.
Boseiju
That's not even jank that's just broken XD
@@Tittilover dang, that's a good card in general for mono or two colored decks.
Who hurt you?
Found another happy player.
How to throw the social contract out the window and save money while doing it.
Quest for the jank-combo
Four dudes, out of cash // and addicted to cardboard-crack...
Knowledge Pool/Omen Machine + Lavinia, Azorius Renegade
Opponents spells are countered for the rest of the game.
or use Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir to just make them unable to cast anything even if is uncounterable
Boseiju
That's not jank to me if Lavinia is the commander.
This one was featured in this channel on the Lavinia Deck Tech! A super scary combo.
• Felidar Guardian $ 0.67
• Mirage Mirror $ 1.86
• Mirror March $ 0.36
You put Mirror March and Mirage Mirror on the battlefield (mir-mir copying mir-mar). Then you cast Felidar. You have one enchantment for heads and the other for tails. The new token will blink the original Felidar creating another token with blink. You wil have infinite amount of them.
Mar-mir Peruvian combo?
FYI: Peru's flag is red and white.
Note: I am terrible for names :p
Enchanted Evening and Calming Verse combo should be retitled "DEATH: PRESENTED BY REBECCA GUAY"
Guay Day
Great 3 card combo - Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth; Ethereal Absolution & Kormus Bell.
I wanted to do something really fun with Fractured Identity when I first saw it. Get something that gives you Hexproof and play Fractured Identity on that to give each other player Hexproof. Then you play Sky Swallower, an 8/8 flier that makes you give target opponent all other permanents you control, but the effect fizzles because of Hexproof. Play Fracture Identity again, many tricks to get it back or play it from the graveyard, targeting Sky Swallower and then gain control of all permanents other than the Sky Swallower tokens because you are the only legal target. All that can be done in just a Blue and White deck.
My favorite combo has always been as follows;
First, have Bruniclad and Oviya Pashiri (I might have spelled that wrong lol) on the field. Then play Master Of Waves, hopefully with a high devotion to blue, and get a bunch of 1/0 elementals. Then activate Oviya's second ability to make an X/X construct, where X is the number of creatures you control. Then use Bruniclad's ability to turn all of the 1/0's into X/X constructs.
Instant army of big bois lol.
Favorite Jank combo I've never seen pulled off, but would love to: Any "Pact" card (Pact of Negation is my favorite for this concept, but Intervention Pact and Pact of the Titan are cheapest) plus Sudden Substitution. Cast your pact, steal a creature from whomever you hate the most, and watch them (probably; chromatic lantern notwithstanding) lose on their next upkeep.
A 2 card combo is not "janky" unless both cards have ridiculously high casting costs.
the first combo is the wincon of my cEDH hahaha
Haha nice!
I dont know how much more effective this is but a buddy of mine gave me a strat better than phage, use a creature named Leveler. Its only 5 colorless for a 10/10 that forces you to exile your library when it enters but its a cheaper combo than phage and all you need to do is pass the turn after you fractured identity it
@@joenuts2911 yeah, works too, but it's not as good hahaha
Fractured Identity targeting your own Alms Collector + Consecrated Sphinx. Draw ever player out of the game. Win with Lab Man. #JankierThanJank
I'm definitely calling him "Lab Man" from now on."
One of my favorites is an Azorius combo which is a bit complicated but super fun: Have Nephalia Smuggler and Conjurers Closet on the field. Then, cast either Part the Waterveil or Karn's Temporal Sundering (if you have your commander). With those extra turn spells in exile take your next turn, and cast Pull From Eternity and Archaeomancer.
Now you essentially have infinite turns by targeting both the extra turn and pull, and bouncing with closet and smuggler.
It is difficult though, but I still love the combo.
Bronze bombshell and endless whispers can also use bazaar trader and intruder alarm to combo out if you don't have the sac outlet. I just pieced that combo together in my head like a day ago and here it is in a video. Awesome!
Love the combos! If your opponents lands are indestructible somehow for the Natural Affinity + Ezuri's Predation combo, you could even use Elesh Norn. This way you don't need 12 mana in one turn, but you would need white in the deck.
I like my scape shift, splendid reclamation combo. Dump all your land into the grave, search all new ones. Then dump all the grave land straight onto the battlefield. It adds up fast. Ive had 22 land on turn 7.
My first and favourite deck that I have been playing for a decade now is my Ghave Rube Goldberg deck. The entire point of the deck is to combo as much as possible without going infinite. It is filled with jank combos that you normally don't see and I love it.
So I know the video is older but still I wanted to comment the jankiest combo I ever played. It consists of "Knacksaw Clique" "paradise mantle" and "Training Grounds" so you can completly exile all opponents libaries and play all of the cards exiled until end of turn. Hope anyone enjoys this as much as I did.
I currently have two janky combos in the works right now. The first one was something that I was proud of thinking up, but takes a lot of set-up. It's in a Kangee deck that involves infinite mana through Isochron/Dramatic Reversal, then dropping either an extra turn spell or Lightning Greaves/Blade of Selves, dropping Dovescape, then playing Kangee with an arbitrarily large number of feather counters and playing an arbitrarily large Blue Sun's Zenith.
The other one is in an enchantress deck that involves Enchanted Evening, Ajani's Chosen, Eidolon of Blossoms, and Lab Man as a win con.
Mitch you should add the combo: Decree of Silence and Solemnity. Its budget for sure! Decree of Silence is a 6UU enchantment that states "whenever an opponent would cast a spell, counter that spell and put a time counter on Decree of Silence. If Decree of Silence has 3 or more time counters, sacrifice it. Solemnity states that Players cant get counters, counters cannot be put on permanents (other than planeswalkers). Basically you drop solemnity you drop Decree of Silence and youre opponents can never cast spells. Solemnity also works with Phyrexian Unlife to make you unable to die to loss of life or damage unless it is commander damage I believe
For my favorite combo you need;
Nekusar, the Mindrazer
Dual casting
Barbed Shocker
Megrim
Diminishing Returns
And, Whispering Madness
Cast the first four in any order, attaching Dual Casting to Nekusar. Then cast Diminishing Returns, making sure Nekusar has been out for one full turn already since he doesn't have haste. After that, cast Whispering Madness, activating Dual Casting on Nekusar to copy Whispering Madness, and then Cipher both copies of Whispering Madness to Barbed Shocker. Then attack with Barbed Shocker, and as long as they block it, Barbed Shocker will cause them to cycle through their hand three time once again. This will cause one player to take 42 damage from Nekusar and the rest of your opponents to take 35 damage from Nekusar. Plus Megrim will also trigger when they discard, so one player will take at least 70 damage, and the rest of your opponents will take at least 56 damage. This combo can be even more powerful with the cards;
Spark Double (making a copy of Nekusar)
Mirrormade (making a copy of Dual Casting, and putting it on the copy of Nekusar, so you can copy Whispering Madness twice)
Dictate of th Twin Gods
Raiders' Wake
Fell Specter
And, Phyresis (on Nekusar)
Note getting this combo in its complete form is really hard to pull off, but it works pretty well incomplete as well, as long as you have the right cards. Yes this combo is overkill, but I don't care, it's so much fun to use.
Mitch, you just gave Worst Fears the Commander's Quarters kiss of death. Nobody knew about this card before now, you monster!
These are pretty cool. I used to run a Bronze Bombshell/Endless Whispers combo, but simply ran Death Cloud as a way to not only sacrifice my Bombshell, but just deal massive amounts of damage with multiple Bombshells *note, we didn't play commander back in the day so these were just casual games*
My go to jank combo is Bolas's Citadel + Aetherflux Resevoir + Mana Severance. With the Citadel and Reservoir on the field, cast mana severance to exile all your lands in your library. Then you have to to cast about 20 spells from your deck with the Citadel to gain enough life (about 200 or so) from the reservoir to shoot the table.
It's janky since you need legal targets for all your spells but super satisfying if you pull it off.
Vorel Commander, magistrate wand, something like Surge Node to give wand a charge counter, and a proliferate source/way to untap Vorel. 4 card infinite turns.
Or my personal favorite: Big Life Vorel. Vorel doubles counters, Eternity Vessel sets your life total to charge counters on it, Vorel continues to double it. Playing any land sets your life to 320+ after 3 turns. Playing Group Hug Vorel also works since no one targets you. Then when your life total is 200+, throw out the Aetherflux Reservoir, and now you don’t need a breakable chain to kill.
A very fun somewhat janky combo is Flash + academy rector + omniscience. It is somewhat expensive, but when you assemble it you are nigh unstoppable if you build your deck right. Card draw, land destruction, big fatties, just cast your entire deck and win with lab man, you can pretty much do whatever and still win.
Morophon anthem deck with 5 or more anthem creatures in play under your control. Equip either Runed Stalactite or Amorphous Axe to Champion of Lambholt. Now you have a beefed up unblockable who can hit really hard without the need of pumping it up with +1/+1 counters. Having Lovisa Coldeyes or Samut, Voice of Dissent out can give Champion haste and attack on the turn you play them.
My personal favorite is Lunar Force, a card that makes enchantments creatures like Opalescence or Starfield of Nyx, and Assault Suit. If you equip the suit to Lunar Force, its effect of being sacrificed to counter an opponent's next spell won't sacrifice it, but since the sacrifice isn't a cost it'll still counter the spell. Now every spell an opponent casts will be countered unless the spell can't be countered. I run it in my Estrid deck.
Yes! Tainted Beacon is one of my favorite combos, I built an entire Zur the Enchanter deck based around it
Okay, so i've had this idea for years now but i don't think i'll ever actually get to play it. It involves old Rakdos, and yes i mean the really old one, the one that basicly makes everyone sac half of their non-demon permanents rounded up when he attacks. Theres an old card, from antiquities i think, called Kormus's bell that turns all swamps into 1/1's. Combine that with conspiracy, urborg and then, and here's the kicker, liquimetal coating and karn so you can animate conspiracy and the bell, you can have rakdos be a one sided "sac half your permanents" whenever he attacks. Now that is what i call value. (If you want to be nasty, throw in an It That Betrays or something, but leave me out of it okay?)
I never said it was a good combo, but boy would it be funny to assemble it and watch as your opponents frown in disbelief over the fact that you spent like 3-4 tutors setting this up
Enchanted Evening with Cleansing Meditation can also be a way to get addition trigger, Mana, etc. And it's white to keep the colors necessary for the deck to work down to 2.
That Phyrexian Unlife combo is hilarious! 😂
I have a Selenia EDH deck that runs this. Also Angel's Grace + Near Death Experience but my favorite is tainted sigil + vizkopa guildmage + selenia
I run solemnity + decree of silence in my sen deck. Phyrexian unlife is icing on the cake for it
Cultural Exchange - two players exchange the same number of total creatures; in response cast Mirrorweave on Bronze Bombshell. Two opponents exchanges 6 Bronze Bombshells and each explodes for 42 damage.
Infinite Reflection on Bronze Bombshell cast Reins of Power or Twist Allegiance, switch creatures, they get explodes you get to swing in.
what makes the enchanted evening combo even better is the 2 cards are both art by rebecca guay
By far this is my most favorite jankiest combo that I pulled off against my buddy a while back. So here's the setup: Paragon Drake + Deadeye navigator to generate infinite mana. From there I casted sun titan and had a magus of the wheel in the graveyard. Lastly I equipped lightning greaves to the magus and activated his ability. After magus went to the graveyard, I bounced deadeye and then paired him with sun titan. Ultimately I milled out my buddy and myself until I hit lab maniac and kept milling till I won the game.
Okay, it's a 6 card combo that wins me a ton of games.
You have the gitrog monster in play as well as skirge familiar, then you have dakmor salvage in hand. This will generate you infinite black mana. (I learned this one from you, mitch.) Then you use that mana to cast ayara, first of locthwain or syr konrad. Either works. Then at some point, you have either milled or casted reassembling skeleton. All you need at that point is a sac outlet. Altar of dementia is pretty good. Personally, i like ashnod's altar because it stands alone as being a fantastic card. You use skeleton's activated ability and ayara or syr konrad kills the table.
Alternatively, enchanted evening + opalescence. Your opponents can now no longer play lands.
nyxbloom ancient + rite of replication can make it so each of your permanents tap for 243 times more mana. 729 if the original was yours. Imagine floating 729 mana with an arcane signet.
My ultimate group hug combos...
Weird Harvest: Everyone tutors X creatures to their hand; use it to tutor Tempting Wurm for yourself. Play Tempting Wurm: everyone dumps all their best creatures at once.
A similar combo is play Boldwyr Heavyweights: Each opponent tutors 1 creature directly to the BF. Then hit it with Fractured Identity: Each of your opponents gets 2 more creature-to-BF tutors and you get 3.
Parallax wave + opalescent/star field of nyx : exile a creature using the wave’s ability, respond to it by using the wave’s ability to target itself. When both abilities resolve, the creature will remain in exile. Can also combo with oblivion ring to exile all non-land permanents.
Enchanted Evening + Aura Theif and sac outlet. I run that in my Zur the Enchanter deck
My favorite jank combo: Final Fortune imprinted on Isochron Scepter + Sundial of the Infinite= infinite turns!
Also, Grenzo, Dungeon Warden + Timestream Navigator (need the city's blessing)= infinite turns
Also, Locust God + Fecundity + Sac outlet = Draw your deck
Saffi Eriksdotter, Renegade Rallier, a free sac outlet like Viscera Seer, and a Blood Artist effect. I used to like to get them all in the graveyard with Buried Alive and then cast Rally the Ancestors when people were tapped out to do the combo and instant speed. Very fun when it works.
I prefer cleansing meditation for the enchanted evening combo.
It's 1ww for destroy all enchantments threshold-then return all permanents you own that where destroyed this way to the battlefield.
Get your etbs and all of your lands become untapped
Cryptolith Rite, Spawning Pit, Lightning Greaves, Winding Constrictor. Have constrictor in play with another like 1/1, sac the 1/1 to spawning pit, before you sac it tap for mana
With Winding Constrictors static, it puts two counters on it instead, use the 1 floating mana and have a blood artist in play too.
One jank combo I know of is nearheath Pilgrim + Volcano Hellion + Boros Reckoner: Pair Pilgrim with Hellion and target Reckoner with hellio's etb with any amount. You take essentialy 0 dmg thx to lifelink and reckoner takes out 1 player. Add blinks like Resto angel or cloudshift for multiple reckoner triggers.
Me: *plays enchanted evening.*
Still me: *also plays starfield of nyx.*
My lands: "Aight, I'ma head out."
Also me: *surprised Pikachu face*
Happy to see a combo strat video! :) Hope you'll do more in the future.
Fun combo with another player’s card that I found: Consecrated Sphinx when they have a Notion Thief. The next time they draw, it triggers Consecrated Sphinx and you choose to draw 2. They have to take those draws. That triggers Consecrated Sphinx again... If they don’t have a Lab Man out, they mill themselves to death.
Fun simic combo. You give your opponents infinite turns (that you control)
Emrakul promised end, temur sabertooth, any creature flash enabler, seedborn muse, and enough land mana to both cast and bounce emrakul (max 15, min 8)
Mana Short + Kefnet (the Amonket) + Mystic Sanctuary + any way to draw an extra card each of your turns. Someone doesn't get to play the game. There may be ways to upgrade the combo as well. If you can tap all lands when a land becomes tapped just play early frost and shut down all your opponents at once. Winter Orb makes things really fun. An alternative way to set it up is the card that makes all permanents enchantments + The new creature from Theros that bounces an enchantment each upkeep + Mystic Sanctuary + Mana Short. Then run Back to Nature as a panic button and some indestructible permanents like darksteel cards and drownyard temple. Frozen Aether can amplify the effect with Winter Orb. I'm an evil magic player. The good news is I haven't built it... yet.
Another fun one is Niv-Mizzet Parun + Curiosity. Play any instant or sorcery, Niv-Mizzet deals damage to opponent, you draw a card from curiosity and since you drew you can have Niv-Mizzet do damage again. Rinse repeat until opponent is dead :)
My favourite combo is with Lethal Vapours and Teferi's Protection, activate lethal vapours a million times and play Teferi's protection, nothing happens to u for a million turn rotations
Can your opponents also skip the same number of turns in response so they don't deck themselves
@@Hammerholics That's why you also need Grand Abolisher.
oh yeah, forgot about that part
I think, considering the priority system, that you need an extra card (krosan grip) :
- To hold priority and skip 92+ turns.
- still holdin priority, cast Teferi's Protection
- still hold priority and cast Krosan Grip targetting the lethal vapour.
Else your opponents will be able to skip that many turns in response to Teferi's protection. If they don't realise they should do so... several cases of 'you don't win' may happen.
@@cerulienceruleen6463 You'd probably be better with a black/white card with split-second, but yes, very true.
Long post, buckle up.
-I've had good luck with Ashling the Pilgrim and Scythe of the Wretched. Basilisk Collar or Blade of the Bloodchief can boost it, but winding up with basically all creatures on the board feels GOOOOOOD.
-Gratuitous Violence plus Heartless Hidetsugu is a fun way to end a game, just remember to try to protect yourself somehow (or dont, as nuking everything from orbit can also be a good answer).
-In my Prossh list I have a ton of fun with Purphoros, God of the Forge. A favorite combo is Mitotic Slime, Goblin Bombardment, and PGotF. Feldon of the Third Path (or any reanimation effects ever) make it repeatable. In face, replace Slime with whatever token generator you want, it'll all work out in the end. It's just abusing Purphoros really, and that's not exactly an impressive combo.
I would never run those in Commander because it's too hard to assemble without tons of tutors, but I have built several of the aforementioned combos in 60 card decks. The Demonic Pact/Harmless Offering/Bazaar Trader/Abyssal Persecutor/Immortal Coil/Bojuka Bog deck won a surprising number of games. My favorite jank combo game ever, though, I used Dark Ritual/Dark Ritual/Animate Land/Erradicate to strip every Plains out of my friend's deck on turn 2. It was hilarious. And Bronze Bombshell was a staple in my Confusion in the Ranks deck. Good times.
I like running Sanguine Bond and Exquisite Blood in my Kambal deck.
The fact that the combo doesn't go off immediately but is almost always inevitable if the pieces are allowed to resolve leads to some fun and anxious tension over who is finally going to trigger everyone's doom.
Darksteel Forge, Mycosynth Lattice, Nev's Disk. Everyone else's stuff goes boom, but it takes a lot of setup. On the bright side, you get to stall everyone else long enough to get your real win con.
Fractured Identity + Radiate.
Fractured Identity: Exile target nonland permanent. Each player other than its controller creates a token that's a copy of it.
Radiate: Choose target instant or sorcery spell that targets only a single permanent or player. Copy that spell for each other permanent or player the spell could target. Each copy targets a different one of those permanents and players.
So together, all players lose all permanents they control, and gain all permanents that they don’t, one of my favourites in my chaos deck!
idk if this works (it is also a little cmc expensive):
-Villis, Broker of blood
-Curse of Fool's Wisdom (Use on self)
-Psychosis Crawler
Draw a card (if all are present): win the game...? (if you have enough cards in deck and opposing life totals are lower than the cards in your deck)
Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle on board with Darksteel Relic and some free sac outlet (etc. Demonmail Hauberk). Play Glint Hawk, bunce relic, sacrifice glint hawk, play relic, teshar brings glint hawk back, bounce relic and so on. Just add something to abuse the loop (Blasting Station instead of Demonmail Hauberk).
Not so janky or budget but Linden, the Steadfast Queen + Archangel of Thune.
Also Syr Konrad, the Grim + Mindcrank. May need some push but wil do it's work.
One of my absolute favorite commander decks is all about one janky combo. It's Tajic, Legions Edge Goblin Tribal. It takes a bunch to set up, but basically it is looking for Skirk Fire Marshal. With Tajic preventing the damage to your creatures, all you need is CoP Red or another damage preventer and you can usually get a I e sided board wipe, plus ten to everyone's face. Add in damage doublers and untap effects and occasionally you can drop the Fire Marshal and deal 40 out of nowhere.
Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient, Auto-empowered Generator, Voltaic Key, Tome of Jayamedde, The Chain Veil, Chandra Bold Pyromancer/Chandra Flames Fury and Chandra Acolyte of Flame, Chandra Awakened Inferno : the generator combined with a key while kurkesh is out allows an arbitrary amount of mana. draw out your deck with the tome, then use your Chain veil to allow your Chanrdas to climb arbitrarily high because of acolyte of flame. for maximum BM, you kill your opponent with Flames Fury or Bold Pyromancer ults. but just giving a few thousand awakened inferno emblems to all your opponents works just as well.
I play Hellkite Charger and Savage Ventmaw in my Ur-dragon deck. I often will use defense of the heart put both into play at the same time for an easy win. Assuming you have a haste an enabler(Such as Dragon Tempest, Temur Ascendancy, etc) otherwise you will need cast the Ventmaw first, and then bring in the Hellkite charger first. You can use the ventmaw's mana to repeatedly attack your opponents. It's not unlimited since you will fall 1 short of the 7 you will need pay 1 mana to attack each time instead of 7, but if you have any other dragons and mana open you will be able to attack several times and end a game quickly as you will be able to score tons of damage with your flight of dragons.
Tons of awesome combos in here and I'm currently building a deck that's based on using jank combos! this video is a gold mine!
Lilliana of the dark realms has a -6 ability that gives you an emblem reading "swamps you control have (tap) add bbbb to your manapool"
Combine this with urborg and all lands you control can tap for four black. Its like cabal coffers + urborg but probably less expensive, (idk how much most cards are wirth and i don't care enough to look it up) and also giving more mana (although it also takes more set up since you need to get lilliana from 3 loyalty to 6 in order to get the emblem.)
In pauper edh there is a combo with Mirran Spy + Banishing Knack + Ornothopter + Impact tremors. There are a few substitutes for each card to make it slightly more consistent.
It's not a guaranteed win but playing Undead Alchemist and Altar of the Brood is quite satisfying.
Each time a permanent etb's, Altar of the Brood makes all your opponents mill. Undead Alchemist says when an opponent mills a creature, the card is exiled and you put a zombie creature token on the field. Works best in large pods with minimal spell slingers!
Cloudhoof Kirin + Psychic Puppetry + Petals of Insight + Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx + devotion 8. Cloudhoof is devotion 2, so that helps. So, Nykthos for 8. Cast Petals, splice Puppetry, spending 6. Casting triggers Kirin, milling target player 5. Choose first option on Petals, returning it to your hand. Puppetry untaps Nykthos. Two floating, Nykthos for 8. Keep going.
If you run Atraxa with very specific setup you can do Great Aurora with Notion Thief yeah? O-Ring Notion Thief and then cast Great Aurora ends up doing the same thing as Plagiarize just to every player. Unless Im missing something
A fun janky brew I came up with for EDH. Mono black artifacts!
King Macar, the Gold-Cursed
+ Silverskin Armor + Clock of Omens
Once King Macar is an artifact, you can tap himself and Silverkin Armor to untap King Macar, exiling a creature and creating an untapped gold token. You can then proceed to tap King Macar and your new gold token to untap King Macar again, and again. Rinse and repeat until you've exiled all creatures, creating a Gold token for each one exiled this way.
Unlike Treasure, Gold tokens don't need to be tapped when sacrificed for mana, so feel free to go ham when you combo off.
My favorite jank combo? Play Serra Avatar and Fling it at someone. They probably just died.
Opalescence + Parallax Wave infinitely exiles all creatures your opponents have and it sticks around until on of them has enchantment removal. If you also have Parallax Tide in play it exiles all their lands as well and can do so as they play lands, which essentially is a hard-lock.
I love Tainted Remedy. That plus a Jorubai Murk Lurker is a really fun way to ensure no one wants to attack you.
one of my favorite combos is howling mine (or any other card that has everyone draw more than one card during their draw step) + hive mind + enter the infinite. play the combo and watch as your enemies lose during their draw step
I've done the Tainted Remedy and Beacon of Immortality combo... Then I cast Fork. Aria of Flame has some fun combos with cheap Buyback spells as well, like the Buyback Fog.
Might not be budget, don't know their prices anymore, but I always liked the following two combos.
Frenetic Efreet + Chance Encounter = flip coins till you win
Tunnel Vision + Grave Troller or Hinder = the have only one card left in library. can be countered with a lot of decks having graveyard control but still can be funny
I used to use Donate with Derelor from Fallen Empires, then use sleight of mind to change Derelor to read: all your "color you're playing" spells cost {B} more. It's pure jank lock.
the jankiest combo that I can think of is one that I have been able to use once, and it was because the group wanted to see what would happen. The cards are Aethersquall ancient, Gonti's Aether Heart, Saheeli's artistry, and mechanized production. This is a combo that can take a while to get going and it is used to get infinite turns, so if your opponents are paying attention this does not happen very often. and the CMC for everything is pretty high.
Aethersquall Ancient (5, blue, blue) says:
At the beginning of your upkeep you get 3 energy.
pay 8 energy Return all other creatures to their owners hands. only activate at sorcery speed
(You do not care about the second effect)
Gonti's Aether Heart (6) Says:
Whenever Gonti's Aether Heart or another artifact enters the battlefield under your control you get 2 energy.
Pay 8 energy, exile Gonti's Aether Heart and take another turn after this one.
Saheeli's Artistry (4, blue blue) says:
Choose one or both
create a token that's a copy of target artifact
Create a token that is a copy of target creature except it's an artifact in addition to its other types.
Mechanized Production (2, blue, blue) says:
Enchant artifact you control
At the beginning of your upkeep, create a token that's a copy of enchanted artifact. Then if you control eight or more artifacts with the same name as another you win the game.
I would reccomend getting aether squall ancient on the field first and copy it with saheeli's artistry. This way you have six energy every upkeep and you only need eight. then you want to play Gonti's Aether Heart and then attach Mechanized Production to it. your next upkeep you have multiple triggeres happen, and because it is your turn you have priority and can arrange the triggers how you want. the stack looks something like this:
Upkeep:
2 aethsquall ancient triggers for 6 energy
then Mechanized Production triggers copying Gonti's Aether Heart
2 Aether Heart Triggers get 4 energy.
Legenday Rule Trigger
Gonti's Aether Heart is a Legendary Artifact so the Legenday Rule kicks in forcing you to sacrifice one
In response to having to sac an Aether Heart, pay 8 Engery and exile the token to take another turn
Repeat every upkeep
This requires blue and tokens. I use it in my Bant bird deck. Both cards are blue, and require you to have more creatures than your opponents, so it is best to have some token poppers. First, play Standardize: "Choose a creature type. All creatures become that creature type until the end of turn." followed by Peer Pressure: "Choose a creature type: "Choose a creature type. If you control more creatures of that type than each other player, you gain control of all creatures of that type. (This effect lasts indefinitely.)" This is a good way to capture everyone's commander and whatever creature's they have on the field.
My favorite deck is a Morophon wizards deck that can combo off in a few different (all some degree of janky) ways, with my favorite using Morophon, Retraction Helix, Derevi, and a creature like Inspired Sprite to make infinite mana.
I'm still looking for the perfect deck to run my boros extra turns. I'm thinking of gwyn, but the black isn't really needed for the wincon.
Sunforger, Chance For Glory (or any of the take a turn, lose next next in red), Angel's Grace (or Sundial of the Infinite to stifle the trigger), Reito Lantern (or sth to return cards back into the deck). Costs a lot of mana, but hey? You were looking for jank
I pulled off a really janky combo recently in a game of commander. Was playing bant, I had hedron crab on the fild. I cast clone having 2 of them. I cast boundless realms. And I had 15 lands in play. Causing me to put 15 basic lands and being able to mill 90 cards. Killing one of the other players and bringing another to near death via mill. The goal of the deck was not to mill *crab tribal* but it was a sick combo.
My Favorite Jank Combos:
Knowledge Exploitation + Eye of the Storm = Cast all instant and sorcery cards in your opponent's decks
There's also Hive Mind + 10 or more Arcane spells exiled with it + Mindslaver/Emrakul Promised End + Ishi-Ishi. That one's my absolute favorite and jank as hell way to kill an opponent, so long as they have an instant or sorcery in hand
Jank combo's...
Price of glory + war's toll + fade away
Dismiss into dream + shoving match/gigadrowse
Hive mind + final fortune + sundial of the infinite
In my crab commander I have a couple janks. The pemmins aura mana engine with my commander, Arixmethes and stroke of genius with reliquary tower. I also have arcane augmentation and slinn voda, mana is not a problem for me so declaring krakens and then kicking a slinn voda is a fun board wipe
I run a Jhoira Weatherlight Captain build and I love the idea of using Mana Severance leaving 1 Mountain in my deck then hitting a Goblin Charbelcher activation.
I was using Eradicate + Mishra's Groundbreaker ever since Eradicate was first printed. Because Mishra's Groundbreaker turns a target land into an artifact creature, Splinter can replace Eradicate. Mishra's Groundbreaker is more expensive in terms of mana cost, but it's also more versatile - sometimes, you just need that 3/3 creature.
For turning lands into creatures, my favorite combo is Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Kormus Bell. It doesn't work with the eradicate combo, since all lands are black creatures; my go-to combo with this is Massacre Wurm.
It's worth noting that, oddly enough, neither Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth nor Kormus Bell have a color identity. Kormus Bell is a colorless artifact that just happens to have the "black" key word in its text; and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth does not actually have an inherent mana-producing ability, it just gives itself one once it's in play.
Natural Affinity + Elesh Norn
Mycosynth Lattice + Hellkite Tyrant
Sundering Titan + Soulherder
Neheb, The Eternal + Aggravated Assault
Some of these are pricy, but they're awesome to see work.
My jank combo is Aminatou+Oath of Teferi+Spark Double+whatever I will have there with ETB on the table on in my hand. It's fair in casual, cuz of 4 cards you need to lunch it and it's always different due to this 4th card that does the job. Drawing all the deck with Baleful Strix or dealing damage with Sorin, Grim Nemesis or using Mnemonic Wall on whatever is in your grave... In Captain Sisay I had Natural Affinity that I was using with boardwipes and Heroic Intervention or Odric and a god... fun combos are hard combos.
Three relatively benign cards that together are not: warstorm surge, restoration angel, and felidar guardian. Actually guardian and the angel with any etb trigger really. They start looping infinitely, one bouncing the other, to achieve the ETB effect of your choice.
Platinum Angel + Abyssal Persecutor + Neurok Stealthsuit... I'm not playing Stax, you can still "play" MtG... we won't be ending anytime soon though... Hope you have fun
Could also use fling in a rakdos deck with wall of blood
Arcbond, some way to copy it, two indestructible creatures (maybe use a Boros Charm), one of which has lifelink.
Kormus Bell + Urborg: Tomb of Yawgmoth + March of The Machines + Arcane Spyglass + Dreamscape Artist + Intruder Alarm + (In hand) Blue Sun's Zenith + (In Hand or Play) Elixir of Immortality:
Kormus Bell turns ALL Swamps into 1/1 Creatures, Urborg: Tomb of Yawgmoth turns all lands into swamps (All lands are now creatures)
March of the Machines turns all artifacts into creatures (so now all lands and artifacts are creatures)
Arcane Spyglass allows you to sacrifice a land to draw a card for two mana when you tap it (This is important).
Dreamscape Artist says: "T Sacrifice a land, Discard a Card: Put two Land cards into play (untapped) from your library)" This also puts two creatures into play because of the lands are creatures
Intruder Alarm says that when a creature enters the battlefield you untap all creatures in play (which now includes lands and artifacts), since this triggers twice for each Dreamscape Artist use you get to tap all your lands for mana once, and all your lands for mana again, minus two (because you need to use the spyglass to ensure you draw a card to allow Dreamscape artist to keep going, and you need to sacrifice a land so you put 2 lands into your graveyard for every 2 you take out of your deck, this sets a net in-play land balance of 0 lands.
This works until you run out of lands in your library (when you have also drawn a number of cards, have a massive pile of mana, and have a pile of lands in your graveyard.
Next you use the Elixir for 3 of your mana to put the lands (and the elixir itself) back into your library, allowing you to continue the loop ad-infinitum with a net change of lands in your library of 0. This gives you unlimited card draws (as long as you have at least 3 cards in hand, one of which being the zenith) and unlimited mana (but ALL PLAYERS get the mana advantage). Since this is all at instant speed you can loop this as often as you want until you get exactly the card from your deck you want into hand (but it takes N! attempts on average since you're essentially using iterated BOGOSORT to find it). This means you can always have the Zenith as many times as you want. Then you can kill your opponents with mill by casting the Zenith for as much mana as possible.
I present to you the most convoluted, and probably WORST infinite combo in magic that wins the game, it's mono-blue legal, and allows you to toolbox infinitely as well (so once it's online you can keep searching up counter-magic as you need it (and other easier card draw) but just in the least efficient way possible.
Have fun confusing your friends by explaining it :-).
I won with Enchanted Evening and Calming verse tonight in my FNM...then saw it here...made me happy, thanks Mitch!
My favourite one is with Scion of the Ur Dragon and Dragon Tempest on the field, and with any revival on hand. First you copy Bladewing the Risen with Scion, then you revive it. When it comes into play, the Dragon Tempest effect and Bladewing effects are put in the stack, but before they resolve you have to apply the Legend Rule (since you'll basically have 2 Bladewing on the field). You put the original one in he graveyard, let his ability (put a Dragon permanent from Graveyard to the field. He's basically gonna target himself, since he's now in the Graveyard) and Dragon Tempest (deal 2 damage to any target) ability resolve. Rinse and repeat your infinite combo. And I'd say it's pretty janky for using the Legendary Rule.
