Under the Radar Two Card Combos
Modern forum
Posted on April 22, 2015, 9:02 p.m. by nashbridges52
I'm looking to make a new modern deck based around a two card combo that's new and different. So, what's your favorite two-card combo in modern that doesn't see much play?

Honestly, I was just hoping to get a huge list and see what catches my eye. I guess I'd be most interested in infinite combos that can win on the spot. This entire quest started because I wanted to play UR Twin but I didn't want to netdeck or shell out $1000 for a deck.

Quillspike and Devoted Druid make an arbitrarily large Quillspike
Duskmantle Guildmage and Mindcrank chain off one another
Alternatively activate the guildmage's ability twice and
Jace, Memory Adept to deal 20 damageGrand Architect and Pili-Pala make infinite mana
Exquisite Blood and Vizkopa Guildmage/Sanguine Bond chain off one another
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Archangel of Thune + Spike Feeder = infinite life + infinite power/toughness creatures

Under the radar 2 card win combos tend not to stay under the radar for very long...

It might not be amazing, but Alchemist's Apprentice + Gift of Immortality
OR
Gift of Immortality + Sakura-Tribe Elder
Gain additional card draw and/or mana ramp on every turn, including on your opponent's turn for free sac'ing.
Also goes completely bonkers in multiplayer and the combo can easily be achieved by turn 3.

The only really good 2 card combo is Deceiver Exarch + Splinter Twin and the plethora of Exarch clones that are in modern. There's like, 5. Course you could also use Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and other things like Restoration Angel and Zealous Conscripts. Those are the only real 2 card infinite combos that are viable in modern.
For synergies, I quite like Eternal Witness + Ghostly Flicker. It works best with another ETB creature on the field, like Restoration Angel to get back anything in your grave or Mystic Snake to counter any spell or Mangara of Corondor to exile any permanent. Or even Mulldrifter to draw draw draw!

I really like Grand Architect + Pili-Pala for infinite mana.

Lightning Bolt + Snapcaster Mage is not an infinite combo, nor is it under the radar, but damn, it's great.

Are you looking for a mana combo that fuels another win-con? A game ending combo (arbitrarily large damage, opponent loss of life, hasty attackers, mill, x wins or x loses the game)? Are attrition/advantage engines acceptable? Combos that don't win but make it hard to lose (locks, arbitrarily large life gain etc.)?
I'm curious what you mean before I start dredging up stuff.
