Commander: Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient

It's Combo Time! Kurkesh makes so many odd entertaining, and downright dirty combos happen so easily, while making most known ones faster and easier.

I've only really got two issues with this deck.

1) Keeping Kurkesh safe. If he gets tucked or removed more than twice, winning can be a little rough.

2) Draw Power / Card Advantage. I have a fair amount, and when I get to it the game is smooth sailing. But when I don't I usually wind up with way too much mana, and no where to go.

Any assistance in these would be awesome.

But back to the combos!

Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient + Voltaic Key + Gilded Lotus or Doubling Cube to make infintie mana.Also with the infinite or gratuitously large amounts of mana and a voltaic key, you can infinitely untap any artifact. Good with things like Pyxis of Pandemonium, Staff of Nin, Prototype Portal, Trading Post, Staff of Domination, Planar Portal, Ring of Three Wishes, Otherworld Atlas, and Temple Bell.

You can also make infinite colorless mana with Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth , Metalworker + Staff of Domination , and Dross Scorpion + Krark-Clan Ironworks + Myr Turbine are the easy ones.There are ways to make infinite involving a Mimic Vat or Prototype Portal and a Metalworker and sacrifice outlets, as well as the same things with a Goblin Welder, but if I were to actually go through every combo in this deck in detail I'd have to write a novel...

Infinite colored mana from any of the above combos and a Gemstone Array, which also means the Voltaic Key stuff now works with any rock that can make more than 4 generic mana in a go, such as Everflowing Chalice and Metalworker. Mana Echoes + Myr Matrix + some startup mana.

Infinite things to do (IM means infinite mana):

IM + Arcbound Reclaimer + Scarecrone (With Haste)IM + Sensei's Divining TopIM + Staff of Domination

There are a lot of combos that revolve around a Prototype Portal + Sculpting Steel setup. As well as Myr Retriever + Mirrorworks + Dross Scorpion + Krark-Clan Ironworks.

Prototype Portal, Mirrorworks, and Sculpting Steel alongside kurkesh just make so many crazy things happen, I constantly find new ones as I test.

Past that just play it and test it and make things happen. It's a deck that definitely has space to move and evolve, and any help or comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
