PDH Combos: Presence of Gond

Pauper EDH* Combo Infinite Combo Pauper Primer

Ruffigan


This is a list of combos that can be used in Pauper EDH utilizing the card Presence of Gond. As you may have guessed these combos will all produce an unlimited number of Elf creature tokens. This is accomplished by enchanting a creature that can untap itself when the elves are created. The simplest version of this is enchanting Midnight Guard, who will untap himself whenever he creates an elf, but every other version of the combo requires an additional card to untap. An example of this is enchanting Devoted Druid, who can only untap herself once without the help of Ivy Lane Denizen.

To make it easier to remember while playing, keep this formula in mind: P (Presence of Gond) + U (untapper) + H (helper) = Unlimited creatures. You can add W (cards that exploit the elves, such as Impact Tremors) if you can't wait until your next turn to attack.

(P + U + H) + W = Elves, Maybe More!

White is definitely a necessity since it gives you the ability to recur enchantments and two creatures that can tutor for auras: Heliod's Pilgrim and Totem-Guide Hartebeest.

Side note: I have included combos that can generate unlimited life but these will not win you the game. Unless you are looking to make your opponent scoop from boredom I wouldn't include them.

There are a dozen commanders that can directly benefit from the Presence of Gond combo, all of which fit into two categories: ETB and LTB. Personally I think they are all worth giving a go except for the mono-green generals.

This combo has some great support options and you will probably want to pick a color combination that includes White. White gives you access to Heliod's Pilgrim and Totem-Guide Hartebeest to tutor for Presence as well as myriad recovery options for enchantments. Blue and Black both give you access to Transmute cards to tutor for Presence abut lack recovery options. Blue also grants access to wheel cards to dig for combo pieces. Red cannot help support the combo.
