Infinite mana combos
Standard forum

What IMC's are floating around in standard as of right now?
Besides a couple Caryatids and Jeskai Ascendancy, none that I know of. And that deck doesn't have the cantrip support to really make use of that.

You don't need a bunch of cantrips for that combo. You just need a dragon mantle anda retraction helix. That being said the deck still sucks

2x Market Festival, 1x Voyaging Satyr, and 1x Thassa's Ire. Its janky though

7 Devotion + Karametra's Acolyte + Singing Bell Strike works. It's by no means competitive, but it's there...

LIVEFORCHAOS, I guess there's that but I wouldn't exactly call it anything but wonky.

None of the IMCs in standard are competitive. There was an infinite mill deck based around Jeskai Ascendancy inn Standard at one point but I think that has lost popularity.

The Ascendacy Mill combo is Jeskai Ascendancy + Springleaf Drum + Retraction Helix + Altar of the Brood + 2 creatures in play, I think.
Target 1 creature with Helix, tap Drum and 2nd creature for mana, tap 1st creature to return Drum to hand, use floating mana to play Drum, Altar mills the opponent for 1, Ascendancy untaps your creatures, repeat process for unlimited mill.
Janky though, needing 4 spells and 2 creatures on the board too...

Karametra's Acolyte + Temur Ascendancy + Temur Sabertooth . Add 3 more devotion and not only do you have infinite mana, you probably also get unlimited card draw. I Built a deck around this.

Karametra's Acolyte + Singing Bell Strike and at least 7 devotion. Tap the acolyte and generate 7 mana, play bell strike on the actolyte, then pay 6 to untap and repeat

jubale i am not sure I see the infinite part to the combo, would you care to explain it please?

Tap Acolyte for 7+, pay 2 to bounce Acolyte to hand, cast Acolyte for 4, tap Acolyte for 7+ because Temur Ascendancy gives it haste.

GeeksterPlays, can you really call a combo that won a Pro Tour janky? Lee Shi Tian won with it, but several other well-known pros also played it.

No one on earth other than Lee Shi Tian thinks the deck is good. You have to be extremely lucky to do remotely well with it.
