Really suprised Kiki jiki was only mentioned in passing and splinter twin was left out. Those are the two cards that immediately come to mind when I think infinite combos.
Ikr, I have a goblin decks that mostly wins through a combo where I use one of the many tutors in the deck to grab goblin recruiters, then play him and grab conspicuous snoop, skirk prospector, torch courier, Kiki jiki, and Sling Gang Lieutenant. Play conspicuous snoop, play skirk, torch courier, sac it to give snoop haste, then with kiki on top, make infinite amounts of snoops, with skirk it gets infinite mana, play kiki, need 1 black to play the lieutenant, sac infinite snoops to win.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ghostly Flicker seems to have an extra effect of note if you take control of the opponent's permanent until end of turn. That card can is worded in a way that can make the theft permanent. The card doesn't say "Permanent that you *own* "
I love Aluren. I have it in my cube, and while I have a few ways to go infinite with it in there (e.g. Cavern Harpy) it's actually just a great value card as well, as long as you have enough cheap creatures.
Since a friend and I, who've been watching your card channels for years, started watching your MTG top 10s and I've been getting more interested in Magic, I've wondered if you'd do a list of cards that can create infinite mana combos. And eventually, other kinds of infinite loops. And, just earlier today...you finally did. I've been waiting a long time for this.
9:21 this is especially good because zirda can be a companion, so if you have 4 monoliths in your deck and draw 1. all you need is the mana to cast your companion and your good on colorless mana. combine infinite mana with walking ballista and you have game more than likely.
Players can't afford the $150+ price tag of the Reserve Listed, Power Artifact. The same goes with Grim Monolith. Those other mana reducing ability cards he listed are a cheaper alternative... 💡
Maybe a list of the most powerful 2 card combos? There are so many ways to go infinite in MtG that I'm not surprised you missed some that are so obvious to other people. Sanctum Weaver+Freed From the Real is my personal favorite; infinite mana turn 3.
9:45 It's a bit more convoluted but Baslt Monolith + Voltaic Construct ( 2): Untap target artifact creature + March of the Machines or any other way to turn the Monolith into a creature, of which there are a handful of ways to do so.
"merchant scroll" cannot be used as the spell the Isochron Scepter repeatedly casts because it is a sorcery not an Instant...but it can go find the instant you want to put under the Scepter...
I’ve got a couple infinite combos in an Aesi commander deck of mine. One is Wizard class + fathom mage. Wizard class at level 3 lets you put a +1/+1 counter on a creature whenever you draw a card, and fathom mage says whenever a +1/+1 counter is put on it, you draw a card. So you draw one card, start an infinite combo to either make fathom mage huge, or more importantly, deck yourself and play laboratory maniac to win. Another combo in that deck is Time Stretch + Eternal Witness + Thassa Deep Dwelling or Conjuror’s Closet. Play time stretch for 2 extra turns, play eternal witness to get it back from the graveyard, end of turn thassa/conjurors closet flickers eternal witness, repeat for infinite turns. And with laboratory maniac I don’t even need to swing to win, I just deck myself the old fashioned way if I really want
This just inspired me to build a cedh deck using Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh. All you would need is an Impact Tremor's, Cloudstone Curio, and Kobolds of Kher Keep. Once you get the Curio and Tremors on the field with Kobolds in your hand, you could cast your commander, then cast Kobolds, then loop the 2 creature's until everyone is dead. Hmmm. Thanks for for the inspiration. Dockside would slot in perfectly as well 😊
I do think Necrotic Ooze beats Trazyn or Kiki Jiki as the example of copy infinite just because it is the only member of that grouping to be able to "accidentally" go infinite. That is to say since it can use the opponents graveyard its possible to use their cards as the infinite trigger and I find that hilarious.
Maskwood Nexux or Arcane Adaptation, can go infinite with cards that trigger off one creature type to produce a token of another type. For Example, Turntimber Ranger gives you a wolf token whenever an Ally enters the field. The cards above allow the wolf token to be an ally, triggering it infinitely. Then add something that deals damage when a creature enters the battlefield, and you wipe everyone out. Also, Food Chain is another staple in General Tazri Commander decks. Using Eternal Scourge, Misthollow Griffin, or Squee the Immortal, you have infinite creature mana to keep bringing out your Commander, allowing you to seek out another ally. Eventually you have enough ally ETB triggers to end your opponents. Exquisite Blood will continue to grow in this regard as more cards cause detrimental effects when you gain life, like Sanguine Bond which makes your opponent lose life...
How does Alela and memnite go infinite with Curio? The trigger to make a token is a cast trigger meaning the token gets created before memnite is on the battlefield so you can't bounce it to your hand.
Alela, memnite and curio don't by themselves. it's supposed to be Alela, 2 zero cmc artifact creatures, and curio. I've seen that messed up a few times in commander.
Urza thopter sword also nets you infinte mana and lets you cast your deck with urza. Both the thopter and the sword can be tapped for one blue with urza while the ability costs 1 to activate.
My favorite infinite combos only use cards that actually have use beyond being just a combo piece, a card that can do something good for me even if I can’t go infinite with it. With that being said, my favorite infinite combo wasn’t even mentioned; Temur Sabertooth + Dockside extortionist. Temur works great on its own to bounce important creatures back to my hand during a board wipe and Dockside is dockside, I really dont have to explain why that card can serve a purpose without going infinite lol. Putting those cards together usually nets infinite treasures and mana as long as dockside makes 3 treasures or more and are absolute staples in any of my decks that run red and green. Also love pairing the combo with reckless fireweaver if the deck calls for it
The original Ooze doesn't get haste, but Kiki-Jiki's ability gives haste to the token copies, so every Ooze token will have haste given to it by every previous Ooze token's ability
@@brandonbrooks779 The two can 100% win the game by themselves. Kiki-Jiki tokens get sacrificed at the beginning of the next end step. Make your infinite tokens during your opponents end step, now you can attack with them
I was a Yu-Gi-Oh player back in the day between the start of the game with Lob and experienced the early days up to the banning of Chaos Emperor Dragon. The thing that made me make the switch to magic was that it embarrassed the overpowered and infinite combos because it cards that were commonplace and even staples in most decks that could outright stop you in your tracks and even make you lose for trying it
What about Curiosity? 1 Blue enchantment that has the effect, that whenever the enchanted creature deals damage to an opponent you may draw a Card. One piece kill combo with Niv-Mizzet or Brailin the Shark Rider when triggered during your discard-step. This card is one of the most terrifying infinite-pieces in commander, especially since you can get it out turn 2 pretty consistent with Cards like Juweled Lotus
I am fairly certain you are wrong about the interaction with cloudstone curio with alela. The stack should go like this Memnite enters stack Alela triggers creating faerie This then triggers cloudstone curio By the time the memnite hits the field, the cloudstone curio trigger resolved. It cannot be bounced via the curio, and won’t trigger the curio itself as it is an artifact.
Where's time vault? There are SO many combos with it that give you infinite turns, and it's one of the premier combos in Vintage. Did you just leave it out because of how few formats it's legal in? I'm pretty sure getting banned for being too good at comboing is generally considered proof of being MORE busted, not less.
It’s boring. It’s literally THE extra turn broken combo. The fact you and most people know about it means it probably doesn’t even need to be on the list.
I assumed Time Vault must've been put on the "retired list" for this channel, but huge miss if not. Otherwise, I was very pleased to see Aluren in first place. It's like the definitive "build your own combo" enabler. It's also sort of a weird list where "number of different payoffs" seems to also be a factor, while Time Vault can "only" ever give you infinite turns. Adding that to the issue that combos by definition consisting of multiple pieces, and they don't want to repeat the same cards over and over again, it's hard to tell whether any given card was forgotten/undervalued or just purposely excluded from the list (see: Kiki-Jiki, Walking Ballista, which clearly belong but only showed up as mentions in other combos).
No Queza, Argur of Agonies and Lich's Mastery? If your playing against a single person than you can easily win the game. Throw in Wiretapping, Cut of the Profits, Consecrated Sphinx, and Rystic Study for some extra fun.
i feel like number three should had been Melira, Sylvok Outcast. And number two should had been both Ashnod's Altar and Phyrexian Altar. Aluren allows "playing creature spells of CMC 3 or less at instant speed without paying their CMC" and i feel this should not be here on this list, while you do have a point. The only thing i can think of is this allows you to "combo win" on any turn you have four mana to resolve Aluren. It seems that with everything that Aluren can do this slot at number ONE should had been Food Chain as setting up to have your "combo piece" available to you is as easy as literally putting it into exile which is SUPER easy to do especially in blue.
Really? Intruder Alarm? Pemmin's Aura? Lethal Vapors? Staff of Domination? I've been playing MTG since I was a little kid, and I remember a lot of combos throughout the years. Wirewood Channeler/Pemmin's Aura used to be called Superman. I played it in tournaments back in the gap. Intruder Alarm is one of the most broken and disruptive cards in the games history. I remember when we found combos by stumbling upon them. That was the tits. Now, they post deck lists on social media. Handy, but much less spontaneous.
ppl still come up w/ new combos, but itd just top-level players now recent example: venerated rotpriest storm OTK, in modern, its far more consistent than other storm varieties, as it can use summoner's pact as a free tutor and cantrip (due to high creature density), while other storm decks in modern dont have any good cantrips ana rarely run 0drops slightly less recent example: chain of smog + witherbloom apprentice, the earliest legacy smog combo i saw was from 2021, even tho ral zarek from WAR could also be technically used to go infinite with smog
@@jamesboice2763 yeah that one legit confused me. also worth pointing out that acererak could also probably go on the list on it's own, since it also combos with gwenna + cost reducer, relic of legends + 2 cost reducers, and rooftop storm.
(0:20) Pfft... "Palin-Tron"? I don't know where you got the "T" sound from. I've always pronounced it like "Palin-Kron" myself. (4:42) Okay, you can be forgiven for this one, since not everyone knows that "draught" is pronounced like "droft", which is something I only learned relatively recently myself. (6:29) Interesting spelling of "normally" there. :P (15:41) Whoops, 2 typos in the same sentence. "strngth" should be "strength", and "sticth" should be "stitch". (17:57) It's very "unlikley" your opponent will be "bale"? ...Of hay? :P I nominate the combo of Ivy Lane Denizen and Herd Baloth / Scurry Oak, which is an easy way to go infinite with very inexpensive cards. No need to shell out like $60 for Aluren or stuff like that.
Aluren is absurdly budget when you read it, think about, check Survival of the Fittest, and ask yourself how difficult is it to get extra GG. It's not very difficult and Survival of the Fittest is probably not 1000% strictly better guaranteed than Aluren. Aluren can save you money compared to Natural Order and Survival of the Fittest and Food Chain by offering more bang for the bucks, and it's not much more $ than Standard and Modern cards similar to Blightsteel Colossus or Karn Liberated or Ugin the Spirit Dragon. Once you have one you have a card that's going to work reeeeeeally well with all future budget cards you get.
IIRC Urza, Lord High Artificer, Sword of the Meek and Thopter Foundry doesn’t just make infinite thopters, it also makes infinite blue mana through Urza’s mana ability which you can then sink into Urza’s other ability to cast your entire library for free if you want 😵💫
winning via combat is much easier to disrupt there are various instant-speed sweepers (like kozilek's return or settle the wreckage) and fog effects in general, if ur going for an OTK, win via self mill, mill or direct damage self mill is best, as thassa's oracle is very hard to interact with (once it ETBs, tberes no way to stop the win unless you use stifle effects or endurance) mill is also rly good, but some decks will use the graveyward as a resource, so unless u mill their whole deck in one turn, they ene up ahead on card advantage the whole time
I always see people saying he mispronounces things on purpose, but did he ever actually confirm that? I don’t remember it at all. Is there a clip of it out there?
What is more likely? Him being somehow incapable of pronouncing 1/3 magic cards correctly or just doing it because it baits people into leaving comments which helps him? Its Ockham's razor
I guess not an infinite combo, but counters infinite life. I LOVE to use Heartless Hidetsugu and then furnace of wrath. Just make sure you have odd number for life, and all your opponents are even before you cast wrath, the tap heartless, boom I win 😂
How did Solemnity not make this list?! It's Vizer of Remedies but allows for a gross number of other combos that involve other counter types. In my custom MTG card community, "goes infinity with Solemnity" is literally considered a joke, because so many real cards do, no one should care about it in a custom card.
Luminous Broodmoth, Decree of Silence, Phyrexian U life, Delaying Shield, anything with Cumulative Upkeep, Persist, or Undying. There are way more cards that just get busted with Solemnity.
For worse Iso Scepter abuse, imprint spells like Silence or Peace Talks. Not infinite, but if it takes you 2 Mana a turn to say your opponent can't cast spells for the rest of the game....
Palin TRON! (sorry, i don't wanna be a weenie about it, but Chron is ALWAYS pronounced with the hard K sound... Like Chronological? Palin Chron. Make sense? I love your channel by the way!

Woooo the community! Bbb
Obligatory "We did it guys. We broke Devoted Druid"
Ooze doesn't need a second card beyond Kiki; you can just make the tokens at the end of your opponent's turn and they'll untap and be ready to attack.

It's not very difficult and Survival of the Fittest is probably not 1000% strictly better guaranteed than Aluren.
Aluren can save you money compared to Natural Order and Survival of the Fittest and Food Chain by offering more bang for the bucks, and it's not much more $ than Standard and Modern cards similar to Blightsteel Colossus or Karn Liberated or Ugin the Spirit Dragon.
Once you have one you have a card that's going to work reeeeeeally well with all future budget cards you get.
IIRC Urza, Lord High Artificer, Sword of the Meek and Thopter Foundry doesn’t just make infinite thopters, it also makes infinite blue mana through Urza’s mana ability which you can then sink into Urza’s other ability to cast your entire library for free if you want 😵💫
There are also a lot of ways to get infinite combat steps.
winning via combat is much easier to disrupt
there are various instant-speed sweepers (like kozilek's return or settle the wreckage) and fog effects
in general, if ur going for an OTK, win via self mill, mill or direct damage
self mill is best, as thassa's oracle is very hard to interact with (once it ETBs, tberes no way to stop the win unless you use stifle effects or endurance)
mill is also rly good, but some decks will use the graveyward as a resource, so unless u mill their whole deck in one turn, they ene up ahead on card advantage the whole time
Aggravated Assault + Savage Ventmaw
(Also Aluren is on the RL so it can’t be reprinted even if it wasn’t busted AF)
Pennums aura, Wirewood elves and ANY other elf.
Paradox Engine, extra turn spells, panoptic mirror, umbral mantle, Solemnity, Kiki-Jiki/Splintertwin/Intruder Alarm, all come to mind.
I always see people saying he mispronounces things on purpose, but did he ever actually confirm that? I don’t remember it at all. Is there a clip of it out there?
What is more likely? Him being somehow incapable of pronouncing 1/3 magic cards correctly or just doing it because it baits people into leaving comments which helps him?
Its Ockham's razor
@@phaeste maybe he has dyslexia or something and just consistently misreads card names
surprised not to see either Devoted Druid or Mikahius the Unhallowed on here
nvm, Druid got mentioned wtih Vizier of Remedies
I remember shortly after aether revolt come out, there was a douche joining our commander match going infinite thopters
Surprised I didn't see Ghave, guru of spores on here.
I pissed so many people off with Ghostly Flicker + Archaeomancer.
you also missed grindstone, which can be infinite on its own if you go against a mono color deck
It’s sorta funny that palintron could be the name of a deck that would actually go infinite. Tron assembled and Palinchron goin off😂
Are you saying Palin"tron"? …Instead of "chron"?
Squirrel nest/earthcraft?
Ghostly Flicker works best with Naru Meha as the commander. You just need a Sunscorched Desert to kill your opponents.
Aluren + future sight you can go through your entire deck with 3 or less cards
Any card with an ability to untap anything falls into one of two categories:
* It's a combo piece
* It's not a combo piece YET
Wait, isn't it pronounced (Pahl-in-kron)? idk
Top 10 pauper staples plz
Oh man….Palintron in town
I guess not an infinite combo, but counters infinite life. I LOVE to use Heartless Hidetsugu and then furnace of wrath. Just make sure you have odd number for life, and all your opponents are even before you cast wrath, the tap heartless, boom I win 😂
I would've swapped asalt monolith and ghostly flicker imo
I definitely would have mentioned exquisite blood.
Palin-chron, not Palinch-ron
Idk old gnaw bone and hellkite charger are my favorite
Palintron?
Urza belongs on the edh Banlist, you will never change my mind on this… that being said, I wouldn’t mind the removal of the banlist.
How did Solemnity not make this list?! It's Vizer of Remedies but allows for a gross number of other combos that involve other counter types. In my custom MTG card community, "goes infinity with Solemnity" is literally considered a joke, because so many real cards do, no one should care about it in a custom card.
Devoted Druid doesn't work with Solemnity though
Nine lives maybe but beyond that it's just a Planeswalker fu spell
Luminous Broodmoth, Decree of Silence, Phyrexian U life, Delaying Shield, anything with Cumulative Upkeep, Persist, or Undying. There are way more cards that just get busted with Solemnity.
Surprised Ghave wasnt on the list just becasue he combos with hundreads of cards.
For worse Iso Scepter abuse, imprint spells like Silence or Peace Talks. Not infinite, but if it takes you 2 Mana a turn to say your opponent can't cast spells for the rest of the game....
Orims chant
Grindstone plus Painters Servant and Sanguine Bond plus Exquisite Blood not here? Big sad.
basalt monolith and power artifact is the actual combo. Everything else came way after and is derivative
Just for clarity "Ch" can be said like "K"
So chrono and its derivatives is more like krono
Wow, no Sangine/Exquisite???
So I found this infinite combo that uses scute swarm, life and limb, and maskwood nexus
You missed Exquisite Blood + Vito.
Isocron septer, final fortune, sundial of the infinite
Palin TRON!
(sorry, i don't wanna be a weenie about it, but Chron is ALWAYS pronounced with the hard K sound... Like Chronological? Palin Chron. Make sense?
I love your channel by the way!
Palatron?
Enduring Renewal
Ashnods altar + Persistent specimen + energy refractor + open the graves = infinite zombies? also infinite mana?
a bit too convoluted maybe....
No Emry with Engine? Bro
Dualcaster + Twinflame or Heat Shimmer
