Any milling + Profane Memento = Huge Lifegain

Halimar Wavewatch = Level up once, you have a creature to tap for six mill with Phenax.

Eater of the Dead + Phenax, God of Deception = Tap Eater to mill for 4, use his ability to exile an opponent's creature from his graveyard, therefore untapping Eater. Repeat to infinity. Note that you must exile a creature to untap.

Lord of Atlantis + Stormtide Leviathan / Master of the Pearl Trident + Stormtide Leviathan = Islandwalk all day, every day. A few others to help out: Reef Shaman, Spreading Seas, Sea's Claim. Note: the last three can actually mana-screw the opponent by getting rid of a helpful land. Also Stormtide will lock down most creatures.
