So I was just wondering what is the best combos that people can come up with for  {Illusionist's Bracers}?

Please name the format you cards are legal in when giving combo.

It can be a simple two card synergy or an amazing infinite 5 card combo if you like.

I'm interested to see what amazing things some people can come up with.

Ok, go!

Standard simple synergy: add {dualcasting} to the same creature and triple cast spells. If the creature is a {blistercoil weird} then quadruple cast spells.

A simple two card synergy.

Standard.
{Illusionist's Bracers} &  {Mercurial Chemister}

Draw four cards for {U}

Pitty you can't use his first ability for two mama, but the rest works well :)

Standard:  {Krenko, Mob Boss} +  {Illusionist's Bracers} with  {Parallel Lives}. Goblins get out cf control real quick. If its just Krenko out, tapping him once would put 8 tokens out. Then if none if them die, next turn you pump out 54 more if my math is correct.

Awesome! Lets see...
(Krenko's{X} x2 for Parallel lives) +krenko's{X} for original amount = total;
bracers trigger for it, do again with new total to find final total
Makes this formula:
(Xx2)+X =Y; (Yx2)+Y;  =Z (or new X)

Krenko tap (X =1)
(1x2)+1 =3; (3x2)+3 =9
Next turn (X =9)
(9x2)+9 =27; (27x2)+27 =81

So by my calculations, more! Anyone good a math want to check my work? :)

Checks out! I said 54 more and 54+27=81! That's pretty crazy in 2 turns if you ask me. And that's if you only have krenko

Actually, you can; {Deathrite Shaman}'s first ability is not a mana ability, since it does more than just add mana to your pool. (Check the rulings on it.)

Yup, this isn't a problem at all! ;D

Those are triggered, not activated abilities. Bracers won't work.
