Infinite Combo = Infinite mana/mill (or burn)

Here is how the infinite mana/mill occurs.

Jeskai Ascendancy (JA) is the machine of the deck. You must have three things on board.

[On Board]

  • Jeskai Ascendancy

  • A creature, any creature at all

  • A creature that can tap for mana (preferably any mana)

[In Hand]

-Retraction Helix

[Either in hand or on board]

  • Tormod's Crypt

or

  • Astral Cornucopia

Here is what happens:

  • Play Retraction Helix targeting the non-mana producing creature

  • In response to the non-creature spell activating the JA trigger (untap creatures, +1/+1 and, optional cycle) tap the mana producing creature for any mana

  • All creatures will uptap

  • If you have Crypt of Cornucopia in hand play it for "0"

    -The "XXX" cmc can be played for 0

  • (Optional step if either 0 cmc artifact is already on the field) When you play the either of the 0 cmc artifacts, the JA trigger will happen again, once again tap mana producing creature

  • At this point you have two floating mana (not really necessary at this point)

  • With the creature targeted by retraction helix, bounce the 0 cmc artifact back to the hand

  • Play the 0 cmc artifacts, the JA trigger will happen again, once again tap mana producing creature in response to trigger

  • This is an infinite cycle of bounce and play while tapping for mana

Here is how you win:

  • Every time you trigger JA, you can draw and then discard. You are drawing to Villainous Wealth. You can cycle until you draw one. Since you have infinite mana, you can deck them with it.

Hope this helps.

Major Changes — Oct. 7, 2014
Edit

**Update: October 7, 2014*

So I didn't think this deck would blow up like it did but I decided that I would add my updated list and keep the old list on here for sentimental purposes.

Changes

This deck is evolving more than I would have ever believed. It is incredible to see how people have evolved it.

Because I believe that consistency is at the heart of an combo deck, this deck needed a face lift. With that said, here are the changes I've made:

Removing

  • -4x Opaline Unicorn
  • -4x Rattleclaw Mystic
  • -4x Negate
  • -4x Dissipate
  • -2x Stubborn Denial
  • -4x Astral Cornucopia
  • -1x Tormod's Crypt
  • -3x Disdainful Stroke
  • -2x Villainous Wealth

Adding

  • +2x Treasure Cruise
  • +4x Twinflame
  • +4x Dragon Mantle
  • +4x Commune with the Gods
  • +2x Taigam's Scheming
  • +1x Burning Anger
  • +4x Kiora's Follower
  • +4x Nylea's Presence

These changes allow us to have more ability to just "go off." The best option here is Twinflame.

Twinflame is a beast. I honestly believe that it is better than Rattleclaw Mystic and have therefore taken it out completely in favor of the haste beats. It allows us to go off in one turn and not have to be held back by summoning sickness.

The enchantments give me the ability to go infinite. Dragon mantle is amazing because of the trigger of JA and card draw.
