Foxokon actually, nowadays it's paradox engine. It's a bit more expensive, but it works with artifacts. And everybody knows that artifacts Are the Word.
Can't wait for the Izzet episode in this series. Dualcaster mage + Token Copy Spell/Baral's Expertise/Ghostly Flicker. So many turn six game breaking combos.
I personally like Arcane Adaptation (on Merfolk) + Seahunter. For 3 mana, you can tutor any creature from your library directly onto the battlefield. At instant speed
Pretty sure the Palinchron and Phantasmal Image combo doesn't work because you have to sac the Phantasmal Image after targeting it with the bounce ability.
Lol these combos are sweet. I had no idea about some of them. I like the creature/artifact untapper. I like Grand Architect+Pili Pala. Also Krark Clan Ironworks+Salvaging Station+Flayer Husk to make infinite colorless Mana and morbid triggers. As far as blue commanders I usually play fun ones like Kami of the Crescent Moon but if I wanna win I like Venser, Thassa and Talrand. Teferi is a good creature in the 99 but I use him rarely as he makes the game unfun for my opponents. Thanks for the video and the new jack knowledge Seth!
MTGGoldfish Really? They let you get the combo out in modern? It seems a little too risky for modern with all the removal in the format. I mean if you can stick those two and activate it then Walking Ballista looks pretty good after that.
Unesh is the best!!! I acually use the Palinchron combo in that deck alongside other combos. Palinchron can also combo with Panharmonicon (Why not include it Seth!?), extraplanar lense, caged sun, gauntlet of power and nykthos with enough devotion. There are more possibilitys outside mono blue, like mana reflection.
I personally use Aphetto + Bracers in many of my decks. The utility is just absurd, and since both cards are pretty decent on their own, most people don't even notice the interaction until you've gotten it online. Not to mention that the alchemist is a morph creature.
Seth Im prety sure that next week should be 10 more blue infinite combos with all the comments here ;) I would like for the next issue of this series for you to mention more alternative cards for the combos. Like palinchron + any mana doubler like high tide, or patron of the moon with anything that can bounce a land (like a ravnica karoo), or explaining intruder alarm a bit more deeply (like the real combo is intruder alarm plus anything that taps to create a creature, and the myrs are just one way of achieving it). I feel this would make the video more informative, and helps new players understand more the combo itself.
Also, if you do make the second video, here is my one of my favorite blue jank combos: Magosi, the Waterveil + Rings of Brighthearth + anything that taps to untap a permanent (like Fatestitcher or deserted temple). You tap for an extra turn, then put the untap trigger on the stack, copy it, untap the land and the other combo piece and infinite turns in a janky way.
With the old Retraction Helix/Banishing Knack combo note that you don't need to add special 0 drop artifacts to make it work AND you can make infinite mana off of it! Use Sol Ring! Tap it for 2, bounce it, play it for one, tap for 2, repeat. The same goes for any mana rock that makes more than it costs, mana vault, crypt, Grim monolith. Also things like Everflowing Chalice or Astral Cornucopia you can cast for 0 and are also useful when you aren't comboing! Added bonus, Trinket mage will fetch almost all of these for you. This combo is even sweeter with other colours as you can take advantage of Prowess, noncreature spell triggers, Jeskai Ascendancy type effects etc.
Its not mono blue, but my favorite blue commander is Locust God, there's just something so fun about having only your commander on the field then suddenly playing a howl of the horde with a winds of change to unleash a horde of locusts
I like Teferi, Temporal Archmage as my commander. Some fun combos include Teferi+Chain Veil Dramatic reversal+ isochron scepter Reality shift+isochron scepter+ paradox engine
Honestly, Deadeye Navigator is a way more effective and less fragile way to interact with Palinchron. Let's you generate mana way faster, and can also act as part of the wincon if you have, say, a Venser, Shaper Savant in play.
haven't seen many other decks try this but i run hidden strings and isochron scepter in my talrand deck, kinda janky but as long as i have a mana rock that taps for 2 or more i have infinite storm count and infinite drakes as long as talrand is out and about.
Yeah! People seem to like it, so I think we'll keep going (roughly once a month) through the rest of the mono-color combinations and then through the multi-color combinations.
i'm missing Future sight + top + cost reduction (for artifacts) = draw your library (since you can play top from your library for free and then use it's ability to draw a card)
My friends hate my omniscience, enter the infinite combo. I have psykosis crawler and lab maniac as a win con, I make sure there's an opening and as soon as I cast omniscience it's over even without enter the infinite.
Wait to activate charbelcher at end of turn by threatening people with their lives. Can stack a Temporal Mastery on top to kill the other players on your next 2 turns. Only problem is Krosan Grip...
My Kefnet deck gets infinite mana with [Peregrine Drake or Great Whale] + [Deadeye Navigator or [Archaeomancer + Ghostly Flicker]], then just draw my deck and BSZ everyone. Drawing cards and forcing everyone else to also draw cards is the most glorious way to win a game of EDH imo. (Backup win con is Lab Maniac if someone has hexproof.)
In first combo you can tunnel vision name a card that your opponent doesn’t have, like black lotus, he kills out his deck and you win the game next turn
Losing to tunnel vision feels super bad. Every time i've been killed by it it's been in the early game before I've had a chance to play, so I just got to sit and watch because I wasn't playing counter magic.
this gave me an idea for my momir vig deck, tutor for ethereal usher, faerie seer or any scry creature and lab maniac with vig, transmute usher into tunnel vision, name the card I scry to the bottom and mill myself out. super jank but jank is dank
I loved to play Erayo until he got banned X'D After that I had the problem that my blue deck had no commander and I testet a lot of different commanders with counterspells and guile. Altough some were kicked out after some time. Currently it uses both Teferis (lg & pw), Baral, Sakashima, Kaho, Kira, Nezahal (directly after RoI) and Tomorrow each of them works as a commander. The whole Deck builds arround drawing cards, countering spells and bouncing creatures. I actually love Kaho as a commander the most evacuation with her is so much fun xD. And If one uses Trainings Ground she even get's bettet. Altough I Don't own it but someone mustly plays with it so I steal it with Guile or something else xD
He uses the word counter as a key word which is why he was one of the strongest up till now. But Kira wasn't half bad to protect more of my Threats. Teferi PW helps getting bug threats out by ramping more while the LG allows me to wait if I need a coutner or play a creature. Kaho is mostly my weakest option to have most fun XD
#5 is technically infinite mana you liar :P I have a patron of the moon moonfolk deck I don't use storm cauldron but it can lock people out time to remodify it. This is also a fun hard lock for opponents Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar and Processed portal more janky imo.
Palinchron is a bitch... Goes not only infinite with Image, but also High Tide/Caged Sun/Gauntlet and also with Deadeye Navigator. Or with two Bouncelands in the Mix you dont need Image but can take any clone.
I dont see how knowledge pool let's you play cards at sorcerery speed. You can play any nonland card for free. Does not have to be instant speed. So the combo does not work
Teferi forces opponents to only cast at sorcery speed, and when you attempt to cast the spell from knowledge pool the trigger is on the stack. Sorcery speed cannot be cast when anything is on the stack. Therefor your opponent is locked down. Also let me show you Teferi's rulings "If a spell or ability lets an opponent cast a card as part of its effect (such as suspend and rebound do), that opponent can’t cast that card since the currently resolving ability is still on the stack. This is true even if that card is an instant" Thats why it works
different as in using different cards? probably 20 or more. different as in different variants(blinking; mana duplication; cloning bouncing, etc)? 10 systematically different could be a challenge.
Can’t wait for the red episode in this series!
"mountain+ lightning bolt"
Dualcaster mage + a Red token cloner. I love Dualcaster mage janky combos.
1. Zealous Conscripts + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker 2. Aggravated Assault + Sword of Feast and Famine 3. dualcaster mage + twinflame 4. Godo, Bandit Warlord + Helm of the Host 5. Goblin Recruiter + Goblin Charbelcher
I remember the time when my opponent played the teferi combo against me then I cast my olivia from the command zone and just stole his teferi.
InstaBlaster
My favorite combo is Counterspell + Disallow. The combo is even stronger if you have another counterspell effect in hand.
How to go infinet in blue:
Step 1: put intruder alarm in your deck
Step 2: play intruder alarm
Step 3: ????
Step 4: profit
Foxokon actually, nowadays it's paradox engine. It's a bit more expensive, but it works with artifacts. And everybody knows that artifacts Are the Word.
I run both for big profit
No mind over matter + temple bell? That's a pretty classic combo
Erik Butt Arcanis MoM. Now thats tasty.
That’s not janky though
Richard Britton. Is right. That's a legit win condition with laboratory maniac
And Tefereii Knowledge pool is supposed to be janky?
Palinchron + Panharmonicon... Their names are so similar, they were made for each other!
Can't wait for the Izzet episode in this series. Dualcaster mage + Token Copy Spell/Baral's Expertise/Ghostly Flicker. So many turn six game breaking combos.
I personally like Arcane Adaptation (on Merfolk) + Seahunter. For 3 mana, you can tutor any creature from your library directly onto the battlefield. At instant speed
That is pretty neat! :)
That last one is brutal. Even more confusing that using Teferi as commander, you only have to put Knowledge Pool in your 99 and that's it.
I really liked that Infinite Storm Count combo. It is legal in pauper. so I'm going to experiment a bit with that
Pretty sure the Palinchron and Phantasmal Image combo doesn't work because you have to sac the Phantasmal Image after targeting it with the bounce ability.
you don't target it, you just put the card in your hand
combo #3 has also a bunch of substitute options for March of the Machines
@Mtggoldfish you can also use zephyr scribe
Zephyr scribe also works in combo number 3
Lol these combos are sweet. I had no idea about some of them. I like the creature/artifact untapper.
I like Grand Architect+Pili Pala. Also Krark Clan Ironworks+Salvaging Station+Flayer Husk to make infinite colorless Mana and morbid triggers. As far as blue commanders I usually play fun ones like Kami of the Crescent Moon but if I wanna win I like Venser, Thassa and Talrand. Teferi is a good creature in the 99 but I use him rarely as he makes the game unfun for my opponents. Thanks for the video and the new jack knowledge Seth!
Grand Architect Pili Pala is awesome. I use that one in Modern sometimes.
MTGGoldfish Really? They let you get the combo out in modern? It seems a little too risky for modern with all the removal in the format. I mean if you can stick those two and activate it then Walking Ballista looks pretty good after that.
"Tomorrow, Azami`s Familiar" + "Posessed Portal" + "Mind Unbound" (or any other card that gives you constant CA)
Mischievous Quanar and turnabout is my favorite mono blue combo, infinite mana + infinite of any other instants in your hand.
Clone + Mirror Mad Phantasm = deck yourself for two mana at instant speed.
Unesh is the best!!! I acually use the Palinchron combo in that deck alongside other combos. Palinchron can also combo with Panharmonicon (Why not include it Seth!?), extraplanar lense, caged sun, gauntlet of power and nykthos with enough devotion. There are more possibilitys outside mono blue, like mana reflection.
I personally use Aphetto + Bracers in many of my decks. The utility is just absurd, and since both cards are pretty decent on their own, most people don't even notice the interaction until you've gotten it online. Not to mention that the alchemist is a morph creature.
The Palinchron/Phantasmal Image combo also works with High Tide
Seth Im prety sure that next week should be 10 more blue infinite combos with all the comments here ;) I would like for the next issue of this series for you to mention more alternative cards for the combos. Like palinchron + any mana doubler like high tide, or patron of the moon with anything that can bounce a land (like a ravnica karoo), or explaining intruder alarm a bit more deeply (like the real combo is intruder alarm plus anything that taps to create a creature, and the myrs are just one way of achieving it).

Where is scepter and dramatic reversal?
Hey seth, I'm playing mardu pyromancer in modern. I decided to mainboard mana tithes. It's been a blast. Nobody plays around the manatithe!
Teferi FTW. My favorite commander deck!
I know this might sound stupid but do you just need another creature to get shuko off or?
Why isn't the Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake/Palinchron combo listed? That's a classic mono-blue combo.
For the myr turbine intruder alarm one you could use sydri instead of March. Plus she’s a commander so it may be better
With the old Retraction Helix/Banishing Knack combo note that you don't need to add special 0 drop artifacts to make it work AND you can make infinite mana off of it!
Use Sol Ring! Tap it for 2, bounce it, play it for one, tap for 2, repeat.
The same goes for any mana rock that makes more than it costs, mana vault, crypt, Grim monolith.
Also things like Everflowing Chalice or Astral Cornucopia you can cast for 0 and are also useful when you aren't comboing!
Added bonus, Trinket mage will fetch almost all of these for you.
This combo is even sweeter with other colours as you can take advantage of Prowess, noncreature spell triggers, Jeskai Ascendancy type effects etc.
That sounds better, although it doesn't include Darksteel Relic, so...
MTGGoldfish Yeah, not jank enough!
I mean Darksteel Relic is indestructible! Resistant to removal!
Storm Cauldron is misspelled at the bottom of combo #4
Its not mono blue, but my favorite blue commander is Locust God, there's just something so fun about having only your commander on the field then suddenly playing a howl of the horde with a winds of change to unleash a horde of locusts
I like Teferi, Temporal Archmage as my commander.
Some fun combos include Teferi+Chain Veil
Dramatic reversal+ isochron scepter
Reality shift+isochron scepter+ paradox engine
I'm will wait for the rest of colors=)
They will be coming, slowly but surly :)
Just opened the video. Hoping to see Future Sight+Discounter+Top
Ooh ooh also hoping for Vizier of Tumbling Sands/Fatestitcher+Intruder Alarm+Forbidden Orchard
My favourite blue commander is Tromokratis. Bogles and Slither Blade tribal!
Again!! You are playing blue then it's a combo
#1 since you can't cast the card you choose, what happens to it? Does it remains exiled or does it go back to its owner's graveyard?
Mike Nie you just can't cast it, meaning it has no reason to change zones.
Honestly, Deadeye Navigator is a way more effective and less fragile way to interact with Palinchron. Let's you generate mana way faster, and can also act as part of the wincon if you have, say, a Venser, Shaper Savant in play.
Just found out about this when doing research. Trying to work on Crackdown Construct + Chimeric Idol or Dark Maze...
Hey, sweet take!
Ive been building a Teferi, Mage deck. never knew about the knowledge pool combo. now trying to figure out if its worth it to lose all my friends XD
I think you only play it when you have a board presence that can win the game and secure it. Doing it just because may not be the best idea.
Why not Amulet of Vigor, the Patron of the Moon, and a bounce land?
#8 doesn’t work because you have to sacrifice it right?
My favourite mono blue combo is Tamiyo Emblem, Gemstone Array, Inexorable Tide, Sphinx Bone Wand, and any 1 Mana Blue Spell for infinite damage.
Beacon of Tomorrows + Planar Portal is the less janky version of that combo. Costs a lot of mana but its Commander, we have it lying around.
Aphetto Alchemist's flavor text represents Seth so much...
Time vault plus key legal?
Roger Lo nope. Banned in commander
haven't seen many other decks try this but i run hidden strings and isochron scepter in my talrand deck, kinda janky but as long as i have a mana rock that taps for 2 or more i have infinite storm count and infinite drakes as long as talrand is out and about.
That sound super sweet!
This is a great series when you’re done with mono combos you could make videos with 2 color combos
Yeah! People seem to like it, so I think we'll keep going (roughly once a month) through the rest of the mono-color combinations and then through the multi-color combinations.
i'm missing Future sight + top + cost reduction (for artifacts) = draw your library (since you can play top from your library for free and then use it's ability to draw a card)
My friends hate my omniscience, enter the infinite combo. I have psykosis crawler and lab maniac as a win con, I make sure there's an opening and as soon as I cast omniscience it's over even without enter the infinite.
Aphetto Alchemist + Illusionist's Bracers also goes infinite with Temple Bell, Ghoulcaller's Bell, Staff of Nin, Urza's Blueprints, Codex Shredder, and Archivist.
Ada Bee or Just Sky Diamond.
Fatestitcher and illusionist's bracer's is a more budget way and lets you tap or untap any permanent on the field
mana severance (remove all land) + goblin charbelcher (X damage for cards in library)( also stacks deck in any order)
Good one!
Wait to activate charbelcher at end of turn by threatening people with their lives. Can stack a Temporal Mastery on top to kill the other players on your next 2 turns. Only problem is Krosan Grip...
I was hoping the last combo of Seth to be "Infinite Infinite"
So helpful!!
My Kefnet deck gets infinite mana with [Peregrine Drake or Great Whale] + [Deadeye Navigator or [Archaeomancer + Ghostly Flicker]], then just draw my deck and BSZ everyone. Drawing cards and forcing everyone else to also draw cards is the most glorious way to win a game of EDH imo. (Backup win con is Lab Maniac if someone has hexproof.)
as a customer request I would love to see kamigawa, newcapenna, jumpstart, commander legends, theros beyond death top 50 mono blue cards.
Teferi doesn't stop flashback spells or casting your commander
I prefer the beacon of tomorrows combo of leveler->beacon->omen machine
You don't even need to tap mana, and you get a 10/10! For only 18 mana...
You can use Nexus of Fate instead of Beacon of Tomorrows for Mirror of Fate/ Manipulate Fate combo now. All including Fate in the name. Triple Fate!!
I found jinxed ring and traumatize works great if you have out some type of mana ramp like uras tower...
In first combo you can tunnel vision name a card that your opponent doesn’t have, like black lotus, he kills out his deck and you win the game next turn
Spy Kit + Mask of the Mimic = Grab any non-legendary creature.
Losing to tunnel vision feels super bad. Every time i've been killed by it it's been in the early game before I've had a chance to play, so I just got to sit and watch because I wasn't playing counter magic.
Mind over matter + temple bell (the old ulamog or kozilek in your deck) = infinite mill or infinite mana (you can untap your lands)
Arcane adaptation on #3 gives you infinite creature tutor
Why don't you have to sacrifice the image when being targeted by its own ability?
Shadow Titan its not a targeted ability, just an activated one that happens to make it move zones
Anchupom Oh ok, should've read the cards better.
did any one knowtes the becon of tomarws was replased by becon of imortailt typo?
I said Beacon of Immortality the first time and had to to a second take.
this gave me an idea for my momir vig deck, tutor for ethereal usher, faerie seer or any scry creature and lab maniac with vig, transmute usher into tunnel vision, name the card I scry to the bottom and mill myself out. super jank but jank is dank
Proteus Staff Tunnel Vision only works if you are lucky.
Damn. That’s fun.
just an extra little infinite combo, timestream navigator+planar brdige, standard legal and mono blue infinite turns
Fleet Swallower + Fraying Sanity
My favorite Commander is Kefnet and my favorite combo is the classic Pili-Pali+Grand Architect for infinite mana then I win
My favorite mana sink for infinite mana is Memnarch, steal everyone's stuff.
Kefnet Voltron! :)
So much jank I love it
I have dream halls + enter the infinite with niv mizzet and lab maniac
azami + mind over matter is getting the job done since commander exist XD
Yeah, that ones pretty well know (and super annoying to play against!)
Havent watched the video yet but did he mention the chain veil + teferi, temporal archmage? It's even pretty competitive
I loved to play Erayo until he got banned X'D After that I had the problem that my blue deck had no commander and I testet a lot of different commanders with counterspells and guile. Altough some were kicked out after some time. Currently it uses both Teferis (lg & pw), Baral, Sakashima, Kaho, Kira, Nezahal (directly after RoI) and Tomorrow each of them works as a commander.

I actually love Kaho as a commander the most evacuation with her is so much fun xD. And If one uses Trainings Ground she even get's bettet. Altough I Don't own it but someone mustly plays with it so I steal it with Guile or something else xD
Marvin Sürig use baral
He uses the word counter as a key word which is why he was one of the strongest up till now. But Kira wasn't half bad to protect more of my Threats. Teferi PW helps getting bug threats out by ramping more while the LG allows me to wait if I need a coutner or play a creature. Kaho is mostly my weakest option to have most fun XD
My favorite commander is gorclaw
Minion reflector it's a better combo for palinchron. You get infinite mana and infinite haste flying creatures.
#5 is technically infinite mana you liar :P
I have a patron of the moon moonfolk deck I don't use storm cauldron but it can lock people out time to remodify it.
This is also a fun hard lock for opponents Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar and Processed portal more janky imo.
the eldrazis break the prision T_T
Palinchron is a bitch... Goes not only infinite with Image, but also High Tide/Caged Sun/Gauntlet and also with Deadeye Navigator. Or with two Bouncelands in the Mix you dont need Image but can take any clone.

Thats why it works
why can I say everything Seth says in the first min of the video as he speaks..........
Anybody who uses combo #1 deserves a kick in the shins
Beacon of Tomorrows is better with Enter the Infinite.
palinchron + many things = infinite mana.
Yeah, Palinchron goes infinite with just about anything.
I loathe Knowledge pool...but that combo sounds gross with teferi
Palinckron is broken
Palinchron is one of the most combo-y cards ever, that's for sure. I probably could make a video with 10 different Palinchron combos :)
different as in using different cards? probably 20 or more. different as in different variants(blinking; mana duplication; cloning bouncing, etc)? 10 systematically different could be a challenge.
Grand architect- pila pala infinite mana
Cool
ramos is the best
AZAMI BOYS UNITE
These combos are all cool and stuff, but are you willing to be an ass to your play mates? I wouldn't risk that!
SHU-KO SETH, SHU-KO
Yay..infinites-_-
pili pala
H
