What are some good human combos for {R}{W}?

 {Academy Rector},  {Opalescence},  {Enduring Renewal},  {Phyrexian Altar} and {deathrender}

A white/ artifact combo that you can use to bring any number of enchantments into play with.
Make sure to have at least two Rectors in your deck.
After playing the rest of the combo, play the renewal.
Attach a {deathrender} to the rector, then sack it to the altar, the renewal bounces it back to your hand, where you can play it for free using the {deathrender} ability.
Having the {opalescence} in play makes it so every non aura enchantment you bring out is a creature as well.
A card I would suggest having in the deck would be {lightning coils}, as it adds a counter every time you sac a non token critter, and drops into play a 3/1 red haste critter for each counter

Or a much simpler combo, use two  {Soul Warden}, with a {deathrender} and {enduring renewal}, {phyrexian altar} (or any source of sac), and a {lightning coils},
This is not only infinite life, but also infinite red mini me ball Lightnings

I'm not sure being milled, or being put intO the graveyard from being revealed counts as drawing

There is no mill effect, and no draw requirements for either of the combos listed above.
The whole premis with the rector combo is that you equip the {deathrender} to it, then sacrifice it, using the renewal to return the rector to your hand, then the {deathrender} activates to allow you to drop the rector back into play and attach the {deathrender} to it for free.

With the {soul Warden} combo, it is even simpler, using the same technique as the rector combo.

I know! I could do this with my aliens, give them an aggro/control strategy mechanic were whenever they deal combat damage to a player (aggro flavor) a control effect happens!
