Title: Colorless 3 card combo
Post by: Diabolic bookworm on October 21, 2015, 09:24:19 PM
{pentavus}
{ashnod's altar}
{illusionsist's bracers}

Equip {illusionist's bracers} onto {pentavus} and use {ashnod's altar} for:

a infinite power/toughness creature
Infinite 1/1 flying tokens
Infinite colorless mana

I play a tutor EDH deck and find this to be one of the most powerful combos i tutor for.

Also i tutor in a specific order of usefulness in my commander deck:
{illusionist's bracers}
{ashnood's altar}
{pentivus}

This way if i get stopped while tutoring i still have usefull cards

So, you remove a counter, create two Pentavi, sac one for {2}, pay one and sac the other for two +1/+1 counters. Use the other to create two Pentavi, netting one +1/+1 counter.

Rinse repeat gets an infinitely large Pentavus.
Then, you can start creating tokens without putting counters back. Sac one, float {1}.
Rinse repeat: loads of critters & mana.

Had to write out the mechanic to see it work, but nice one.
What commander are you running? See if that mana can be put to work..

I am running a budget deck with tymaret the murder king.
And by budget i mean "oh hey look how sad his commander is. i bet he doesn't have a deck full of combos and tutors" oh how they are wrong.

Never judge a deck by it's commander

I once played some kids Oona deck at a FNM, kid went Tribal Rogue... never expected that.

My opponent laughed at my {Teferi, Temporal Archmage} commander deck. That is, until I killed him by drawing my entire deck. He looked so pissed afterwards.

That's the truth. I run {Roon of the Hidden Realm} land destruction and people don't see what's happening until it's to late.
