Sideboard

Instant (3)


(Please excuse the formatting - the deck is perfectly legal, TappedOut doesn't track the format properly)

An interesting turn from my usual formats! I happened upon an exceedingly lucky 2-card combo, and saw that it was legal in Penny, hence the deck. When I say lucky, it's as if these cards were made for each other with how symbiotic they are. The combo is:

  1. Play Ajani's Chosen.
  2. Enchant any creature with Infectious Rage, triggering Ajani's Chosen and creating a 2/2 Cat token.
  3. As per Ajani's Chosen's last clause, move Infectious Rage onto the created token.
  4. Enchant the created token with a second Infectious Rage, creating a second 2/2 Cat token - the first will now die, as it has +4/-2.
  5. Both Infectious Rages trigger, returning to the battlefield on random creatures, and creating two 2/2 Cat tokens.
  6. Move both Infectious Rages onto a Cat, killing it.
  7. Repeat steps 5-6 ad nauseam.

There are some frankly wonderful elements of this combo:

  1. Can win on turn 4.
  2. The combo still works if Infectious Rage enchants an opponent's creature, as it still technically enters the battlefield under your control.
  3. Given that it's an infinite combo, you're guaranteed to kill all opponents' creatures with 2 or less health, as the Rages can randomly land on any of them.
  4. The combo has so many facets to trigger off from that these 8 cards alone can be slotted into many decks, and make an easy sideboard.
