Seraph of the Masses/Eidolon of Countless Battles + Dragon Throne of Tarkir
All your creatures gain +x/+x and trample, where x is the number of creatures you control. That's something i would say.

Well way to be a buzz kill, this would be late game win con, not something to build your deck around. One dragon throne would be fine in the deck, and i would personally run the eidolons over the seraph.

GZ_Kavle: You're right, that is something. It is called Overwhelming Stampede.

It requires you build your deck around it, the token decks aren't good in the late game so getting there is a no no.
Kitchen Table magic sure, But not competively viable by any stretch of the imagination.

Assuming that you have resolved one untouched Hordeling Outburst, you cast your angel for 4, get a 4/4, cast the dragon throne for 3, equip it for two, and swing for 16. It might just be me, but there's much, much better uses for 9 mana in any colors in this format.

It's alright synergy. Not a combo, or anything that utilizes resources in a manner more effective than some of the current meta's accepted synergies. Just alright.

here is the thing: Dragon throne is not good. no question about it. Seraph of the Masses is also a not good card. so half the "combo" is just a couple bad cards. wouldn't the deck be better if you just played good cards in their place? like Brutal Hordechief or something like that. even Dictate of Heliod is better, in my opinion. Anyway, that's just my 2 cents. my philosophy is that if you have to play a bad card to make another bad card better, then you should just cut the bad cards and play good ones instead.

Commander, what about the affinity decks, thats a bunch of bad cards that work well together, this combo plus Mardu Ascendancy for example is extremely powerful (have 4 creatures, attack with 3 get 3 tokens, tap Eidolon of Countless Battles now they all get +7/+7,), granted i'd run Eidolon of Countless Battles over Seraph of the Masses though.

Affinity is now a bunch of bad cards played together? In the recent words of Epochalyptik: Welp.

Ornithopter, Memnite, Vault Skirge, Springleaf Drum, Signal Pest among other are not good cards but the sinergy they create is extremely powerful

As someone who plays two pretty ratchet cards n Standard together right now (that be Phytotitan and Life's Legacy), I am all for trying out combinations out of bad cards. Your one GZ_Kavle is a bit tricker to pull off though just due to the cost of the cards involved (especially the Dragon Throne/Bone Throne/Comfy Chair) and also because it wants loads of tokens around to make it work too. But keep trying!
