New Infinite Combo For Modern

Modern forum

Posted on Jan. 9, 2016, 1:23 a.m. by dooblydor

So a while back my friend noticed that the new manland from Oath Wandering Fumarole infinitely combos with Ceaseless Searblades. Not sure if anyone has looked at this yet, but it could make for a sweet new deck.

yeah, MtgGoldfish talked about this in his their review of the land.

Not surprised, lol. Everyone figures out the combos faster than us :/

Feels like a thing for commander more than modern but its nice that its modern legal.

Not technically new. Lavaclaw Reaches is capable of something similar. So now with an additional piece, it's more likely to be something playable overall.

I don't want to brag or anything, but I posted that combo in OUR spoiler thread minutes after Wandering Fumarole spoiled. So no, not everyone figures out the combos faster than us, but people here sometimes disregard the forum user's input and rather bring outside sources to talk about because reasons.

So it needs a four mana, flash-less (admittedly Lightning Bolt-proof) creature, one of two specific lands, and three or four open mana to go off...and preferably an Artful Dodge or something (Distortion Strike?) available to deliver the damage. Seems clunky, but I thought the same about that Knight of the Reliquary + Retreat to Coralhelm combo, so...

I think Modern's gold standard for infinite combo is still Splinter Twin, and while this interaction is certainly interesting, it doesn't quite measure up.

Aqueous Form could work well.

People forget the, as mentioned before, the combo has literally existed since original Zendikar in the form of Lavaclaw Reaches. This is seriously old.

sergiodelrio Not many people (including me) have the time to read through all the pages in the spoiler thread, so it's sometimes better to talk about things in their own thread as it's more focused.

rorofat Exactly why I posted this, idk why everyone is getting mad salty about it.

people do that. ignore them.

Awesome combo. I was unaware. thanks for posting! cause this could conveniently fit into one of my decks suprisingly. Obviously not a common draw but it has synergies so it's not in the way.

cool!!!!

Isn't commentator culture fun? Where people just tell you're wrong or say something is incorrect without the proof, or even worse, when they have the proof they degrade the OP or other people in a chat. So fun.....

I know right? I never understood that. just start banning people, or ENTIRELY ignore tham. I just started saying ''ok'' to people and they got nothing left to do. that's what I did and wow! my credibility boosted cause the attacks lessened :D

But then TheDevicer doesn't get to post wonderful memes to make fun of the nonsense.
