Those Funny Combos
The Kitchen Table forum

Let me ask you this, fair casual MTG player, would you rather combo off for hours and do the thing that everyone expected, or would you rather kill any creature, at any time, with a rat and a magic stick? Well, here's how.
It's very simple: 1) get out any creature with death touch, my personal favorite being Typhoid Rats because it's hilarious seeing Kozilek, Butcher of Truth die to a rat. 2) Play your Thornbite Staff and equip that sucker to your rat.3) Sit back and relax as every creature falls to the might of diseased rats holding a stick. The fun part is how the staff untaps the creature after it kills something, so you can keep it going depending on how much mana you have. It gets even better once you get Illusionist's Bracers out.
After playing this in my group for a while and laughing like a mad person, I begin to wonder what some of the funniest combos might be. That is my challenge for you. Comment your best knock-your-socks-off combos bellow.

My funniest combo was in an EDH game, i'm playing Mycosynth Lattice. it's out on the field. They have no idea what's about to happen. Goes to my turn. cast Vandalblast overload. they all scooped.. literally.. all their cards went to the grave XD

Goblin Sharpshooter + Basilisk Collar or Gorgon's Head = machine gun

I remember during RTR-Theros Standard, I literally destroyed Mono Black one game when they would tap out to keep making Pack Rat's and I flashed in Izzet Staticaster and equiped Gorgon's Head to it and kill all the Rats. Man that was awesome.

Or the awesome combo of Festering Newt + Bubbling Cauldron + Bogbrew Witch + Gift of Immortality! (i.e. my first paper mtg deck EVER!)

IzzetGod, remember when; When your friend would make hordes of Pack Rat tokens, and you kill them all with a Bile Blight?

the pack rats wouldn't die, since they're all bigger than 3/3's

Atony1400 but Bile Blight only worked early on if there were 3 or less of them. And using an Izzet Staticaster with Deathtouch was way more fun to do.

Yep, only reason I ran them; good times, good times.

Here's how you play some REAL magic. Exile your Goblin Test Pilot with an Oblivion Ring. Then play Worldfire. When the turn comes back to you, activate the test pilot and hope you survive.

Better yet use, Apprentice Sorcerer instead of the Goblin Test Pilot it could kill you.

Did you know that I Like budget bagels? You will too, with this Budget combo. Kiora's Follower+Kiora's Follower+Judge of Currents.
It is very (not) fair combo and It is cheap mana cost turn 4, possible turn 3 if you choose to run Elvish Spirit Guide! You may also want to run Channel for this Budget Combo!If you look at the prices for these cards, (the main combo) it will be less than three dollars, (as of date posted!)
February 25, 2016 1:22 p.m.
Sorry, I meant, Judge of Currents + Kiora's Follower + Kiora's Follower . This way you can see all the cards individually!
February 25, 2016 1:23 p.m.
Melira, Sylvok Outcast + Phyrexian Unlife = You don't lose the game.
February 26, 2016 2:54 p.m.
I don't get how comments 16 and 17 are actually even combos. I mean, Leveler plus Laboratory Maniac is, but the finesse only works if you have an enchantment. 17 doesn't even make sense. The combo is Ashnod's Coupon plus Secret Lair of the R&D.

One Goat Token or equally funny creater, and then placed upon it Infinite Reflection + Indestructibility + Assault Suit
All non-token creatures are now Goats

Kala, R&D's Secret Lair makes it so you don't have to pay for the drink, because it makes you ignore the Errata of Ashnod's Coupon.
February 28, 2016 8:29 p.m.
I get that one, that's the one I was mentioning. The original comment said the combo was Ashnod's Coupon plus Cancel.
February 28, 2016 8:30 p.m.
Oh, sorry, didn't see that.
I do agree with you, Kala. Maybe it's funny because you Canceled having to get someone a drink.
February 28, 2016 8:41 p.m.
Oh lol.
Don't know what I was doing there.
The combo was actually Laboratory Maniac + Leveler + Peek
The peek just gives you that feeling, when you know that they can't counter your spell.
Also, for Aura Finesse, the aura doesn't have to be under your control + if One of th targets are illegal, you don't attach the aura, but you still draw a card.
Did a search on magiccards.info for official card rulings.
February 29, 2016 8:19 a.m.
In fact, I don't think that you actually need to Target an aura at all. The above comment is a more resonable combo, but... It really depends. For example, Aura Finesse + Laboratory Maniac + Leveler + Indestructibility + Phyrexian Walker
February 29, 2016 8:34 a.m.
This is not EXTREMELY unfair, a simple Erase will be a counter.Energy Field + Rest in Peace , AND if you want more protection,
Energy Field + Greater Auramancy + Rest in Peace + Greater Auramancy

or you could play Goblin Test Pilot with Gorgon's Head and laugh at the randomness the game can take :P
