Intruder Alarm is a well-known combo enabler. After seeing yet another picture of cards that go infinite with it, I figured there must be enough for an EDH deck with nothing but Intruder Alarm and cards that combo with it.

So I built one.

The commander is nominally Cromat, but it could be any 5-color creature. Other than that, every card is mana fixing, a tutor, or part of an infinite combo with Intruder Alarm. Some are very simple (Godsire + Intruder Alarm), some are very complicated. That's it. If anyone ever makes this deck, the strategy to play it is very simple: tutor up Intruder Alarm and win. By the time you can cast a tutor and cast it, you probably have at least one combo. It's been a while since I threw this list together so I don't remember how all of them work. Some general notes: there are several mana dorks, to combo with all the cards that create tokens but need mana to do so, like Imperious Perfect. There are several manlands and several Animate Land effects, both to combo the previous and with Squirrel Nest effects. March of the Machines and Tezzeret lets Myr Turbine and similar artifacts benefit from the alarm too.

I know there are already several combos I don't have room for here, and more coming every set. I wanted to make the deck more or less plausible, thus a solid mana base and several tutors, but there are plenty more combos like this in the game. Intruder Alarm is just that ridiculous.
