I'm looking to build an EDH deck just stuffed to the brim with as many infinite combos as possible. Who would you recommend, and what combos would I out into it?
{Niv Mizzet Dracogenius} or {Progenitus}
I like {Oloro, Ageless Ascetic}
I've seen the most combos come out of {Animar, Soul of Elements} and {Riku of Two Reflections}.

He's asking infinite and Niv Mizzet Dracogenius has the most consitent infinite combos. The other two have some pretty stupid good combos but usually not infinite or consistent. Just my 2 cents
The commander doesn't have to be used in the combo, but that's an added bonus. Might go with niv. There's also {melek, izzet paragon} as the only creature + {proteaus staff}.

I've never actually played against niv mizzet. My husband has an Animar deck that is pretty dang consistent in combos and they are infinite. I hate combo in EDH though so I wouldn't know who the best combo commanders would be. I'm just answering based on my personal experience. :)
{Kiki-Jiki} combos with like every single card in the game practically
If you want infinite combos, and you don't care if your commander is involved, think with this in mind;
You're going to need {B} for tutors. Getting combo pieces consistently is what makes a combo deck work.
You're going to need {G} for mana. Mana ramp helps combo decks a lot, and infinite mana combos often include green.
You're going to need {U} because it's friggen {U}. Blue has more combo pieces than any other color, I don't doubt. It also has card draw to get them, and the powerful cards to get you where you want to go.
You may want {R} for combo pieces. {Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker} and {Splinter Twin} are just examples of some of the many combo cards in red.
You may want {W} for even more pieces. {Restoration angel}, even {Village Bell-Ringer} and many other ETB or flickering effects come in white and make for many combos.
That all being said, I recommend going BUG (Perhaps {Damia, Sage of Stone}?) or all 5 colors ({Atogatog} for laughs!) for the most effective color bases for your purpose.
I'm not sure what combos with the dracogenius like other people are saying but I ran a sick combo deck with {niv-mizzet, the firemind} that would just break the game.

That's who I meant.
But they both have some pretty broken combos
I like damia. I'll make a new thread about us as a community building damia.

What combos with the dracogenius ?
{Sliver Overlord} cause any mix match of combos hen you tutor for then
Commander {Johnny, combo player}?
{Rings of Brighthearth} + {Basalt Monolith} makes infinite colorless mana.
{Nekusar, the Mindrazer} can have some damaging combos...
{Mind Over Matter} + {Temple Bell}
{Enter the Infinite} + {Hive Mind}
{Sanguine Bond} + {Exquisite Blood}
Those are a few I have in my deck... And there's probably more I haven't discovered yet...
