Around the Combo

Simple Combo deck, revolving into generating infinite tokens with infinite mana. To execute this, it needs:

• a Mana Generator like Earthcraft , Mana Echoes and Ashnod's Altar (3);

• something to restore counters on Marath, Will of the Wild like: Illusionist's Bracers , Hardened Scales , Cathars' Crusade , Ivy Lane Denizen , Pir, Imaginative Rascal (5).

The main combo is simple, generate tokens with Marath, Will of the Wild , generate mana with those tokens, restore counters, rinse and repeat. Depending of the combo, you may have infinite mana and infinite counters on Marath, Will of the Wild , which means you can ping the opponents life to 0. Attacking with infinite tokens it's a more desperate, but sometimes, viable option.

To support this, the deck contains:

• tutors: Signal the Clans , Eladamri's Call , Green Sun's Zenith , Enlightened Tutor , Tooth and Nail (5);

• protectors: Lightning Greaves , Swiftfoot Boots , Shalai, Voice of Plenty , Boros Charm , Heroic Intervention (5);

• grave interaction: Eternal Witness , Sun Titan , Regrowth , Naya Charm , Bow of Nylea (5);
