EchoSpice Hey thanks for the tip! That sounds pretty spicy. I love the rawness of Krenko in that there are many decks that do the infinite thing and he just likes to SMACK lol. I have had several decks working the Ashnod's and others, looking to get away. Funny enough, I've been brewing for a Crackle with Power combo deck recently w/the same effect XD.

Though, come to think of it--Dualcaster Mage + Heat Shimmer could do both more efficiently... Enough rambling -- Cheers!

Could I recommend adding in Reiterate? It's (if anything) a more powerful infinite combo piece than Dualcaster Mage + Twinflame or Dualcaster Mage + Heat Shimmer . Given enough mana to pay its buyback cost, it typically results in both infinite mana and infinite cast triggers with Inner Fire, Battle Hymn or Brightstone Ritual. It can even feed off of Seething Song if you have at least 2 or 3 of Runaway Steam-Kin, Helm of Awakening and Ruby Medallion on the field.

Anvil of Bogardan helps you get cards into the graveyard and some draw (if you don't mind sharing). I also really like Burning Inquiry because it often will screw up people's starting hands/combos. Tormenting Voice if you like Cathartic Reunion and Wild Guess.

Dualcaster Mage + Heat Shimmer Is an auto win combo. Goblin Bombardment for when you gain control of enemies with Molten Primordial or Word of Seizing and for pinging with doomed tokens. You almost certainly need Duplicant for those obnoxious indestructibles. Balefire Dragon also acts as a board wipe in many decks and gets around hexproof.

Finally, Workshop Assistant for additional artifact recursion as you're doing a lot of that. And, my ultimate favorite Feldon's Friend, Starke of Rath!! Eats Creatures and Artifacts and dies before they can use him on you!

Check out my current version of Feldon here for some other suggestions. It's a little more control oriented, but runs into trouble when people hate Feldon out a bunch of times.

@1empyrean To my knowledge, the Dualcaster Mage + Heat Shimmer / Dualcaster Mage + Twinflame combo cannot go infinite. Heat Shimmer resolves, then the token is produced. The spell has already been removed from the stack, so you can't target it with the token's ETB, becuase the ETB is a response to a spell's cast, not its resolution.
