Maybeboard


a few words before we get to the actual list

the maybe board are cards that are either banned in my playgroup or I haven't acquired because of their price/availability most of the "expensive" cards on this list I've acquired at a time they were cheap (or at least cheaper) but I felt like I might as well type out the cards I'd add to the deck if I had no constraints what so ever.

Infinite Combos

Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal + any manarock - Infinite mana if rock produces 3 i.e. Thran Dynamo / Gilded Lotus , even if it's just Sol Ring you can still untap all of your non-land permanents infinity, usually leads to a game win if Azami, Lady of Scrolls is in play and you can manage to produce 3 mana for Laboratory Maniac

Captain of the Mists + Illusionist's Bracers + Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx / Gilded Lotus - infinite pretty much everything, gaining infinite untap gives infinite mana, gives you ability to play azami no matter her current cost, which leads to infinite card draw. also in desperate times with Springjack Pasture for infinite goats/life, for those pesky players that play Iona, Shield of Emeria.

Walk the Aeons + Archaeomancer + Crystal Shard - infinite turns, yes there are cheaper alternatives, the only reason I'm not playing more non-self-exiling time warps is because of my playgroup, if you're going to build you own version I strongly suggest replacing some of the time warps with the more traditional choices like Time Warp or Time Stretch, honestly the more the merrier.

Omniscience + Enter the Infinite pretty self-explanatory, drop Omniscience play entire deck for free, pick your wincon.

Mind Over Matter + Azami, Lady of Scrolls this is probably the easiest combo to pull off, just infinitely tap to draw, discard to untap, find Laboratory Maniac play him, keep drawing/discarding until you win.

Noteworthy interactions/plays

Captain of the Mists untaps when Azami, Lady of Scrolls or any other human enters play, you can usually tap him for a card or to float some Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx / Gilded Lotus mana in response to the untap trigger, still good even without the infinite combo.

Trinket Mage & Tezzeret the Seeker can both fetch Seat of the Synod this is just often overlooked, and sometimes you just need that one additional blue mana, just remember that this is an option.

Dreamscape Artist + Illusionist's Bracers - out-ramp the green player, remember, if you're not actively trying to save your own ass or win, the best strategy is to chill and ramp, prepare, more mana = easier to win you don't necessary want to drop all the threats onto the battlefield just because you can, this deck gathers most combo pieces in hand, you don't want to become the target early.

Rite of Replication kicked, on Captain of the Mists will give them all 5 untap triggers each, lets you draw a whole lot of cards with Azami, Lady of Scrolls.
