Awesome job, I instantly thought "infinite combo" when I saw Kiora's Follower but hadn't put enough brainpower into thinking of one. You might consider something like Clone to increase the likelihood of having two out at once. Mercurial Chemister can also do some serious work with the Bracers to draw the cards you need for the combo or kill stuff while you set it up.

Here's my current infinite combo deck: So...Many...Infinite Combos...Wtf

Oh and something like Hammer of Purphoros or Messenger's Speed would be nice so you don't have to wait a turn once you have the combo pieces.

would just like to point out that you do not need 2 followers on the field... the bracers allow you to copy the ability and choose new targets - the follower that cast the ability for example...

..................................................................................................................

unless I've missed something I'm pretty sure that you then only need the three cards ((namely the follower, the bracers and the lobber crew))

..................................................................................................................

apart from that other options could be:

Lightning Volley - BOTG - give an alternative to lobber crew

Retraction Helix - BOTG - nice bounce if your opponent likes their creatures

Oracles insight - BOTG - allows you to find the missing piece

Archtype of endurance - BOTG - protect combo pieces from most removal

thassa, god of the sea - Theros - scry to search for combo pieces

Zhur-Taa druid - Dragons maze - infinite mana and damage at the same time

Simic charm - Gatecrash - hexproof and damage buff if needed

Urban evolution - Gatecrash - card draw and the additional land might come in handy

Izzet staticaster - Return to ravnica - alternative to Lobber crew

..................................................................................................................

Well done on making the deck however it may be worth wile looking into alternative spells to help against the current meta game like mono blue, mono black, GR and GW aggro etc.

@Doorsmasher7: You do need 2 Followers out to make this work since it specifies "another" target permanent, meaning it can't untap itself. However, I believe you would only need one Bracers to make it work as long as you use the one without it to untap the one with it (and the one with it to untap the other one and Lobber crew).

also how is Volcanic Geyser a win con without something like Elvish Mystic ? come one guys infinite mana

January 27, 2014 5:37 p.m.

Hey MangoPunch check out my twist on this combo- A High School Dance (aka Infinite Grinding). Mind Grind is the win con, and Bane Alley Broker can draw the entire deck to dig it up.

Zhur-Taa Druid keep it simple or Rod of Ruin , or Codex Shredder for a insta mill win.

i like that the combo is obtainable in standard play but i am not seeing the win con i would add two copies of wall of frost and splash black for phenax infinite mill

January 29, 2014 11:53 a.m.

MangoPunch says... #11

@adralen: The win con is either infinite mill with Codex Shredder or infinite damage with Razortip Whip .

Wall of Frost could be a good addition and protection against fast aggro - I think at best right now this can get a turn 4 win, but likley will need longer to get all the pieces in place.

@beardie88, Kiora's Follower can untap "another permanent" this includes lands, which means infinite mana.

Shadow_Fury says... #13

this will be rediculus if you can get Retraction Helix

January 29, 2014 1:53 p.m.

adralen says... #14

@Shadow_Fury yeah it would that is a 1 drop overloaded cyclonic rift

January 29, 2014 1:57 p.m.

MangoPunch says... #15

@Shadow_Fury: Awesome call. Adding it now. Great for board control.

+1 for giving me another suggestion and secondary infinite loop in.

Stop it Tim, Ping Ping Ping...

Shadow_Fury says... #17

its really great in this board :p

January 30, 2014 12:35 a.m.

Shadow_Fury says... #18

i belive its. better than a cyclonic rift. it gets rid of lands aswell

January 30, 2014 12:37 a.m.

Shadow_Fury says... #19

one last suggestion would be, Fated Infatuation instead of clone

January 30, 2014 12:58 a.m.

MangoPunch says... #20

Wow, @Shadow_Fury! Great call. The UUU cost is rough, but with one Kiora's Follower out (the only time I would cast it anyway), it isn't nearly as bad.

Shadow_Fury says... #21

just a quick question, why are you playing Fade into Antiquity main board?

January 30, 2014 8:07 a.m.

adralen says... #22

Retraction Helix and Cyclonic Rift are the same text target nonland permanent. i would put in Cyclonic Rift instead of Voyage's End though

January 30, 2014 8:16 a.m.

Shadow_Fury says... #23

yes that is also true. didnt read card proply

January 30, 2014 8:22 a.m.

MangoPunch says... #24

@Shadow_Fury good question. Would you recomend upping the bounce cards instead? My initial thought process was that Detention Sphere is killer (less so now with Cyclonic Rift and Retraction Helix ) and games 2-3 there will almost always be Pithing Needle . Plus there are enough gods and bestow floating around that it shouldn't be useless all that often.

Shadow_Fury says... #25

no u dont need any more bouncing cause u aim to finish the game quick. i think take out the familiars for some ramping cards ( preferably Elvish Mystic ) to get your spells used quicker. i think you should take out fade into aniquity and Inaction Injunction and add 4x Quicken ,mabye even add some 4x Elite Archanist so that you can attach a quicken and do some drawing and go threw your deck to find what you like
