R/U/G Infinite Combo help.
Deck Help forum

I'm making an Infinite Combo deck and I plan on going to the Chicago Grand Prix in June with this deck, so any help for sideboard or mainboard cards against the more popular decks and such would be nice. This deck is all over the place at the moment, so I need help making it better.
Oops, forgot a deck list.

I'm assuming you're talking about the Elite Arcanist - Zhur-Taa Druid - Triton Tactics combo.
Honestly, I have a hard time believing that any deck like that will fare well at a Grand Prix, but your best bet is probably to load up on cards like Fog , bounces (Simic Charm is really good since it can do that while protecting combo pieces, and Cyclonic Rift if you ramp enough), burn spells (Magma Jet is good for the Scry and you'll want Anger of the Gods on the side if not main), and draw power so you can dig up your combo pieces (Thoughtflare is good bang-for-the-cmc for a combo deck).
You might consider having an alternate win con in the form of Guttersnipe since you'll need lots of instants and sorceries, and if you have another mana dork out besides the Druid (like Sylvan Caryatid ), the same combo can still work with Guttersnipe. Finally, Prophet of Kruphix could also help you Flash in your combo pieces during the end step so your opponent won't have a turn to react, since anyone playing at a GP will probably know what you're up to.
