Chromanticore and Civic Saber
Standard forum

I'm surprised no one has thought of how Chromanticore and Civic Saber work together, I've looked through Chromanticore decks and none of them have Civic Saber in them.
But what are some other cool/good new combos or synergies that have come with Born of the Gods (in Standard)?
The thing about Chromanticore is that if at any point in a game of magic you have access to all 5 colors of mana, then your next move after dropping Chromanticore could literally be any spell considering you have access to all 5 colors of mana.
Personally I don't immediately think about artifacts when I'm staring at rainbow lands, but then again, the one downside to Chromanticore is the lack of built in Hexproof, without which, he's just as easy to remove as any 4/4 flyer.
In other words, I see the inherent combo of Civic Saber on a Chromanticore but when you have the ability to play literally any spell, artifacts just aren't the first thing I'd want to be casting, or at least, not Civic Saber .

in other words, Chromanticore is a tall order to land on the field to begin with, and adding the saber is just win-more, and considering he isn't hexproof, or a more immediate threat, I'd say he's more of a theme/gimmick card and shouldn't even be taken seriously outside of theme/gimmick casual builds, he's reminiscent of Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer seems cool but isnt really that great.

There is an infinite combo with 2x Kiora's Follower and Illusionist's Bracers .
Most Chromanticore decks are already pushing out a lot to be 5-color. I doubt they have room for a Civic Saber.
Prophet of Kruphix and Phenax, God of Deception synergize decently.
