If I may, could you organize the different categories in the description in accordion or spoiler blocks? It would be much easier to read.

Doubling Season makes Jace, Cunning Castaway enter with 6 loyalty (doubled from 3). This lets Jace ultimate immediately making two non-legendary Jaces that come in with 6 loyalty, which each ultimate to make 2 Jaces each for a total of 4. After making infinite Jace tokens, you can then start activating the -2 ability instead of the ultimates and create 2/2 creature tokens that don't have haste.

x12721, great idea! I just finished editing the description to do just that :) Thanks!

Flooremoji, the explanation of JustAn0ther is perfect for the Doubling Season combo. The gaining life combo was supposed to be with Bringer of the Black Dawn, but I mistakenly put Beacon of Tomorrows in its place (you can find that combo in the 1-card combos section). I was thinking that maybe there was something that could combo with Walk the Aeons the way you were saying, but the closest thing I could find was Sacred Ground which doesn't work unfortunately.

griffstick... You're welcome/sorry. ;D

Aphetto Alchemist + Illusionist's Bracers + any beneficiary tap ability on an artifact or creature

One of the infinite turns components is wrong, Capsize + Sage of Hours doesnt work the way you want to, because the sage would bounce and lose all its counters.

Hellkite Charger doesn't actually work with most of the things listed (though Aggravated Assault does) because it only untaps attacking creatures and a lot of them have to tap to generate the mana. Might be worth splitting that entry in two to avoid confusion.

Other than that, great list! Some very fun stuff in here.

Elemental Mastery also works with Altar Golem.

OH here's a really esoteric one: Life and Limb + Sporemound , and I previously mentioned Illusionist's Bracers + Tidewater Minion on the forum page also, as mentioned above Aphetto Alchemist also works in that.

Dorotheus says... #13

Done correctly, (Ceaseless Searblades/Crackdown Construct) should work with Mirror Entity too.

Dorotheus says... #14

It's hard to think of all JUST the two card INFINITE combos, I keep thinking about the things that Solemnity does.

For The Locust God, Beck and Dire Undercurrents are both "may" effects that do the same thing you want as Kindred Discovery.

MagicBlues, unfortunately, that would count as a 3-card combo. Thanks though!

IAmTheWraith, you're right, it doesn't get returned to the hand until it resolves. Thanks! It's been removed.

ellie-is, thank you so much for catching that! I've redone that section to better reflect what combos with what. How does it look now?

Dorotheus, oooh Altar Golem's a sneaky one! Thanks!

The Sporemound combo needs a third piece to stop the combo to prevent it from drawing the game. Thanks anyways though!

Using that combo with Aphetto Alchemist can provide infinite untaps for artifacts and creatures, which means that a third piece is also necessary to take advantage of that combo. Sorry if it sounds like I'm just disregarding combos randomly, but I don't want to include combos if a specific type of card is required on the field/graveyard/etc. for it to have an effect. Thanks for the suggestions though, keep them coming!

Wouldn't activating Mirror Entity for 0 cause it to die though?

I could see a Solemnity infinite combo hiding out there with just one other card... The search continues lol

Kishe, great suggestion! They're now added. Thanks!

Looks great!

On Mirror Entity: I'd say that it only works if something else is boosting Ceaseless Searblades's toughness, making it a three card combo.

SupremeSnowSpork42, wouldn't a third piece to the combo be needed to give them all haste?

March 2, 2018 2:01 a.m.

Dorotheus says... #20

For Mirror Entity, it works better with Crackdown Construct as it will get that buffs from activating Entity so even as a 0/0 it'll always have power and toughness that goes over that.
For Ceaseless Searblades it works better if you have a way to stop the ability on the stack or something else besides attacking to do with the Searblades even activating Entity for 1 will keep it a 1/1 with +2,000,000/+0 until with next you activated for 0, resolves, but it's still a way to make a creature with functionally infinite power.

My understanding is that they are infinite 2-card combos and that's the important part, it's up to the deckbuilder or player to decide how to abuse that infinite. Same goes for sporemound sure it doesn't end, but it's still an infinite combo.

MagicalHacker says... #21

You've sold me on the Construct one for sure!

While it is important for this list to have 2-card combos, an equally important aspect is the result of said combos. Deadeye Navigator with Cloud of Faeries is infinite ETB, but it doesn't fit any of the categories so it doesn't get included. Similarly, since the point of the infinite tokens/power categories is to deal infinite combat damage, the Sporemound combo and that other Mirror Entity combo don't get included.

I see you already have Sliver Queen and Mana Echoes, but I don't see them listed under "Infinite Nonhasty Tokens" category.

To the people commenting in the future, no they were not there at the time of this post...

Prossh, Skyraider of Kher + Food Chain this makes an infinite amount of tokens which then can turn into large source of mana

MagicalHacker says... #24

Dreno33, great catch! I'll add it to the other category as well. I appreciate it!

However, I do not appreciate you implying that I would add a combo someone suggests and then tell someone that "it's already there". I have absolutely no problem admitting that I made a mistake and thanking someone for suggesting a change to this list that makes perfect sense, such as here, here, and here. That said, I also won't tell someone they did a good job suggesting a combo that I already have on the list. Luckily, I have made the list a lot more organized now so it's easier to check on combos anyone wants to suggest.

To the people commenting in the future, I respect others on the internet.

brettpardue, that combo is specific to commander, but still worth adding in my opinion. Thanks!

Animar, Soul of Elements and Ancestral Statue after Animar has 3+ counters allows you to put infinite counters on Animar.
