Oona combo: What goes in a combo deck besides the combo?

[Spencer Addington]

So I went up against a {Oona queen of the something} combo deck a few weeks back and it was pretty awesome. It wasn't the smoothest thing out there, but it made me kinda think how awesome a commander can be. He was running a bunch of search and draw to find his infinite mana combo pieces, then he would cast his commander and exile your library, pass turn and you'd lose when you went to draw. I decided I'd try and brew a similar deck and need a bit of help. I know my combos: {power artifact} and {basalt monolith}/{grim monolith} makes infinite colorless mana

{palinchron} and {caged sun}/{gauntlet of power}/{high tide}/{extraplanar lense}/{deadeye navigator} makes infinite blue/black mana

{great whale} and {deadeye navigator} makes infinite colored mana

{basalt monolith}/{grim monolith} and {rings of brighthearth}

What I need to know is; What else does a combo deck need?

Good tutors ( {Demonic Tutor}, {Diabolic Tutor}, {Vampiric Tutor}, {Mystical Tutor}), good card draw ( {Blue Sun's Zenith},  {Consecrated Sphinx}, {Rhystic Study}, {Mystic Remora}), and good counters ( {Force of Will}, {Rewind}, {Counterspell}, {Mana Drain})

Of course most of these cards have cheaper substituts but it just helps to have the good ones. Hope any of this helps! Oona's a crazy card, someone in our meta has one too!

Control things like propaganda, damnation, and toxic deluge

My meta is void of Oona, unfortunately. I like the thought of the deck though. Other things to consider would be {Scion of Oona} and {Spellstutter Sprite}.

Tribalish faerie combo? Very cool

Seems pretty solid. Some suggestions :
{Riptide Laboratory}: incase they try to kill oona
{Volrath's Stronghold}: works great with cards like  {Rune-Scarred Demon}
{Archfiend of Depravity}: destroys decks that play multiple creatures.

If you need to get the parts to this deck, I've got a great whale

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to try and make this a really competitive deck. I have a few casual one, but if there is a guy playing a "win every game with a combo" deck I want to be able to pull this out and reck face lol.

I completely understand, and your welcome!

Cut {dimir cluestone} for {ill-gotten gains} to recover my combo if it gets destroyed in some way

Also want to add {mystic tutor} but I don't know what to cut for it. I'm thinking thassa.
