Breya, Shaper of the Infinite!

Commander / EDH Artifact Combo Infinite Combo

FilthyKerr


Main Combos:

  1. Breya, Etherium Shaper + Ashnod's Altar or Krark-Clan Ironworks + Nim Deathmantle is the base infinite combo of this deck. It gives you lots of options, depending on how you want to finish off your opponents. You sacrifice Breya, Etherium Shaper, who is a creature, but also an artifact and one of her Thopters to Ashnod's Altar or Krark-Clan Ironworks to generate mana which you can use to return sacrificed Breya, Etherium Shaper from your graveyard to the battlefield with Nim Deathmantle with two Thopters. Every time she comes back you get an additional Thopter token which you can eventually use to gain infinite life, infinite mana or deal infinite damage.

  2. Since the main combo will get you enormous amount of hate from other players, it's good to have something else up your sleeve. This is where Eldrazi Displacer steps in. Breya, Etherium Shaper + Ashnod's Altar or Krark-Clan Ironworks + Eldrazi Displacer works pretty much the same as the combo above. The difference is that you sacrifice two Thopters to generate , blink Breya with Eldrazi Displacer to get two Thopters and . With the infinite mana you start creating infinite Thopters.

Back-up Plans and Additional Combos:

But what if someone removes your infinite mana generation pieces from the game?

  1. Well, let's take a look at the mighty Purphoros, God of the Forge. Without the infinite mana you still can make a mess out of your opponents. All you need to do is blink Breya, Etherium Shaper with Eldrazi Displacer and Purphoros, God of the Forge will deal 6 damage to every opponent. You usually should be able to generate which lets you repeat the process three or even more times. Ouch. No Displacer on the board? Use a tutor to find Myr Battlesphere and hit your opponents with 10 damage instead!

  2. Sharuum the Hegemon + Phyrexian Metamorph duo. Phyrexian Metamorph enters the battlefield as a copy of Sharuum the Hegemon. Legend rule applies, Sharuum the Hegemon goes into graveyard, but wait... It returns right away? Yup, thanks to ETB effect of the copy. Guess what happens when you also have Disciple of the Vault, Zulaport Cutthroat, Marionette Master and/or Purphoros, God of the Forge on the board. Infinite damage? Again!? Or... in case you got bored with getting rid of your opponents that easily and you'd rather see them squirm use Bitter Ordeal, leaving them with cards of your choice like, lets say... only lands.

  3. Mindslaver + Academy Ruins. Mindslaver works best during 1 vs 1 games, because most of the cases you will be able to only use it once. Academy Ruins allows you to put Mindslaver from your graveyard on top of your library, so you can do it multiple times.

  4. Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek. If you're able to generate infinite mana, this card combination lets you generate infinite life. If not then you simply get lots of life and tokens each turn. Just sacrifice Sword of the Meek to Thopter Foundry for , you get one Thopter and one life. Since Thopter is 1/1 Sword of the Meek comes back from the graveyard and you can sacrifice it once again. It works well with our friends Disciple of the Vault, Zulaport Cutthroat, Marionette Master and Purphoros, God of the Forge.

  5. Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek + Ashnod's Altar or Krark-Clan Ironworks. This combo is upgraded version of the combo above with infinite mana. It's not something I go for, because it needs too many combo pieces, but if you are able to gather all those cards on the battlefield you get infinite Thopters/mana/life.

  6. Thopter Assembly + Time Sieve infinite turns. Every upkeep (with no Breya on board) you get 5 artifacts to sacrifice. This combo doesn't give you win, it ends the game in draw, so be sure to find a way to kill your opponents by damage during those turns.

  7. Karn, the Great Creator + Mycosynth Lattice duo. Just completely locks out your Opponents Board. For extra protection just add Padeem, Consul of Innovation and/or Darksteel Forge to protect your board state and various counters.

  8. Destroy all opponent's permanents every turn. Mycosynth Lattice makes everything an artifact, Darksteel Forge makes all of your artifacts indestructible. Nevinyrral's Disk destroys all artifacts except yours because yours are indestructible. Unwinding Clock allows this to happen every untap step.

  9. Play Grand Architect and/or Pili-Pala. Play whichever remains. Activate Grand Architect's first ability, targeting Pili-Pala and turning it blue. Activate Grand Architect's second ability targeting and tapping Pili-Pala, generating . Use the to activate and untap Pili-Pala, generating one mana of any color. Repeat to infinity!

  10. Infinite colorless mana. Infinite creature tokens. Sacrifice Wurmcoil Engine to Krark-Clan Ironworks or Ashnod's Altar. Wurmcoil Engine and Nim Deathmantle trigger. Resolve the Wurmcoil Engine LTB first, creating two Wurm tokens. Resolve the Nim Deathmantle trigger, paying and sacrificing a Wurm token to return Wurmcoil Engine to the battlefield with Nim Deathmantle attached to it. Repeat to infinity!

  11. Infinite creature tokens. Infinite ETB. Infinite LTB. Infinite sacrifice triggers. Infinite life loss. Infinite colorless mana. Infinite death triggers. Sacrifice Marionette Master to Ashnod's Altar, adding . Pay to return Marionette Master to the battlefield with Nim Deathmantle attached to it. Marionette Master triggers, creating three 1/1 creature tokens. Sacrifice two of the tokens to Ashnod's Altar, adding . Marionette Master triggers twice, causing target opponent to lose 1 life each time. Repeat to the Infinite!

Getting the Combo Pieces:

  1. Unwritten MtG rule says that the card you need is most likely to be on the bottom of your library or will be on top of your library right after you die. That's why we need tutors like Enlightened Tutor, Fabricate, Arcum Dagsson, Kuldotha Forgemaster, Whir of Invention, Muddle the Mixture or Inventors' Fair to get the most essential combo pieces Ashnod's Altar or Nim Deathmantle.

  2. Spend to activate Eldrazi Displacer's ability targeting Myr Battlesphere. Myr Battlesphere ETBs, creating 4 Myr tokens. Sacrifice two tokens to Ashnod's Altar or Krark-Clan Ironworks for . Use the mana to activate Eldrazi Displacer's ability, targeting the Battlesphere. Repeat for infinite Myr tokens and colorless mana. Equip Skullclamp to some of your infinite tokens using some of your infinite mana to draw as many cards as you wish.
