Brewing a degenerate combo deck for my Spike friends. Sleeveing it up in bright orange sleeves to really crank things up to 11.

Combos:

1. Fury Storm + Kalamax, the Stormsire : Perhaps the easiest combo in the whole deck to figure out is Fury Storm or any other Fork spell + Ral, Storm Conduit or Kalamax, the Stormsire. By copying a fork spell with either another fork spell or the copy of one while never letting the original resolve you can cast an infinite number of copies. This lets you deal infinite damage with Ral, Storm Conduit or give infinite power and toughness to Kalamax, the Stormsire.

2. Kalamax, the Stormsire + Soul's Fire : This is a little bit more advanced version of the basic copy shenanigans. You need an untapped Kalamax, the Stormsire to be targeted by Soul's Fire. Then you tap the Kalamax, the Stormsire while the Soul's Fire is still on the stack and then cast Increasing Vengeance or another fork spell. You follow the same steps as above to create an arbitrarily large dino and then break the cycle by copying Soul's Fire again. This results in three copies of Soul's Fire that can deal infinite damage to three different opponents. If you have more than that you can finish them off with trample and attacking or by flashing back Soul's Fire with Snapcaster Mage or Torrential Gearhulk. Remember that Soul's Fire checks the creature's power on resolution, not on cast, which makes this whole combo work!

3. Bounding Krasis + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker : Chord of Calling has a lot of synergy with Kalamax, the Stormsire. By tapping the big dino to pay for the convoke cost he will copy it. Copy an X=5 Chord of Calling lets you go find Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Bounding Krasis to create infinite copies of Bounding Krasis with haste to swing out and kill all of your opponents.

4. Mana Geyser + Reiterate : This is more of a late game finisher. Casting Mana Geyser + Reiterate with buyback while your opponents have a total of seven tapped lands will generate infinite red mana. You can't let the original copy of Mana Geyser resolve but you need to let the copies resolve to then recast Reiterate. You don't need infinite mana if you have a Ral, Storm Conduit or a Kalamax, the Stormsire + Soul's Fire. Either of those while your opponents have six tapped lands let you win off the infinite spells.

5. Mystical Tutor + Seasons Past + Time Warp : The ultimate end of the night shut down combo is Time Warp + Mystical Tutor + Seasons Past. This lets you take infinite turns by casting Time Warp or equivalent and then using Mystical Tutor to go get Seasons Past out of your library. Casting Seasons Past lets you get back the other two pieces to continue the loop. Proceed to win with any other combo, commander damage, or groans and concessions from all of your opponents after getting all of the time in the world.

The deck currently doesn't but you could lean into the Chord of Calling combos by adding a second one and additional ways to tutor up the instant like Merchant's Scroll. A back up creature package could be Dockside Extortionist + Barrin, Master Wizard or Temur Sabertooth to create infinite mana via treasures. The Barrin, Master Wizard is more powerful but dependent on your opponents having a lot of artifacts in play as it is slightly more mana intensive than the Temur Sabertooth route per loop. You get to chord for X=3 and get Eternal Witness to get back the Chord of Calling before going to get Barrin, Master Wizard. This allows you to pull every creature out of your deck with the infinite mana and treasures. However, all of this is far messier than just killing everyone with an infinite number of critters.

Thanks for looking and only cringing a little.
