Saw Creative Combos propose an infinite combo of Ghired, Mirror of the Wilds and a token copy of Airtight Alibi made by Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief. All in pre-Duskmourn standard. Wanted to tinker with it.
If you have Ghired and Ivy in play, and cast Alibi on Ghired, Ivy makes a token copy of it on Ivy. Then Ghired lets you tap a creature to copy the Alibi which then untaps the creature. You can then put infinite Alibis on that creature and attack with infinite buffed power/toughness.
Obviously the combo needs too many cards to be consistent. But Etali's Favor really narrows things down, especially if Ivy makes a token copy of it that Ghired can multiply. All the combo pieces can be dug up with Favor. Ivy likes how discover casts the new spell.
Kellan, the Fae-Blooded can fetch the Favor to start the discover chain or fetch the Alibi to finish off the combo, and is decent as a double-strike board presence that pumps the rest of your creatures.
Scrollshift helps the Favor's discover, since you can target the Favor to restart a new discover. Or if you target a creature with Ivy in play, you can blink them both and then draw two cards. Zoyowa's Justice is another discover chain enabler, even if it's a bit awkward in general.
I'm finding the mana requirements pretty harsh, so I feel like Generous Plunderer is a must play. Making a treasure on upkeep lets Ghired unlock some turbo ramping.
I'm trying out Caparocti Sunborn as another discover enabler. It wouldn't be feasible but Plunderer can be reliable in getting out two artifacts to discover with. Without the Plunderer this spot might have to be Geological Appraiser that really underwhelms after the initial discover trigger. Things like the Scrollshift or Justice or Favor or Alibi on the discover trigger can help assist the Sunborn attacking into tough blockers.
I'm also trying some one ofs like Smuggler's Surprise and Leyline Immersion and Vesuvan Duplimancy and Capricious Hellraiser and Quintorius Kand. Surprise is a way to dig for some combo pieces or land and has some flexibility later either for the hexproof/indestructable or for the put into play abilities later in the game. Immersion is another Ivy-friendly aura. Quintorius Kand mainly for the lifegain with all the discover chain things. Duplimancy to see what value I get from copying all the creatures I'm enchanting. And Hellraiser as another way to make some enchantment token copies.
