Turn 1 combo, cast a creature with banding. Opponent asks what it does. Read them the entire official rules for banding. Opponent says they don't understand, could you repeat that. Repeat this process until opponent concedes or dies of old age. Or pulls out a sword and slices you in half, which is fair, I guess.

[@shipisleaving]

[@Joshua-ye2eo]

Heck yeah. I'm glad Creature heavy decks are back even if it's largely owing to tribal. Back in the 90's when walls mattered so much more as protection and for some cool effects in over-all strategy, I finally acquired a Marble Priest from Legends which you could use an easy cast, 1/1 artifact creature called battering ram that destroyed all walls. It had "banding", the just banding sort which was the non specific/non variant "with others" . So you band with Marble Priest and attack, then Marble causes the opponent to have to block with every wall they controlled in play and you got the temporary self-confidence pride buff of having created a Wall-whipe combo. The only unfortunate thing in my case, being the days just before websites made buying specific cards as easy as buying and other sealed official products, and I finally got to do all this right as banding and things like walls were being made obsolete by increasingly stronger mechanics and quickly followed up with the death blow of being intentionally pushed into cycle out of print mode. Strategies moved into new areas we all wanted, but it also jusr suddenly exponentially nerfed the effectiveness and competitive value of what we're once Epic games while still being 1 v 1, best of 1 matches. Some, maybe many, went on and on until to show the length of time elapsed since turn one started requiring one, maybe even double digits in a 3rd decimal place, and could rival the time required to play a serious game of Risk until a single player could be declared thee legit victor. 15 us creatures on each side by the time turn levels indicated mana availability was nigh redundant to almost a useless to a sort of right of passage quest goal achieved award where u can literally complain about controlling so many lands now and how you're so mana wealthy you almost wish you could just Armageddon yourself to get them out of your way and feel better focused on tapping order to fighttwee even a nuisance for anyone lacking a clear grasp on spacial awareness and organizational skills. Plus being the 90s u likely had the skill but it was far cooler to act all nonchalant about it as if it's just not worth your cool points score in actual effort to maintain, even though what was REALLY going on was still that it was the 90's and you just didn't admit crap-facts like how we were all just to lazy and privileged to want or choose to maintain order on the board. The first part had the dual effect of keeping those OH Well Whater, Nevermind-backed Cool Points (the grandpa of Crypto) as well as providing the convenient excuse for not mentioning the lazy syndrome we had. We knew we were in the clear, because most people didn't want to be the first to call B.S. and thereby opening themselves up wide be hit with the same crap they just dished out while sharing in the same reality. Oh wait, so anyway these creature battles were more like wars with little random bursts of powerful summonings or small waves of new recruits. At some point all those lands that some how total 3 times over the current turn we were on. Suddenly an intuitively confident percentage to draw a much needed, now or else it will already be too late to use any turn after possible death latet card make a stream of life a life total reset. We had nights we left the boar state like a long distance chess match or when you had to not play any other Nintendo game if u wanted to come back to Zelda and still be where 26 hours of yesterday's play got you. I loved those creature wars days with spell slinging woven throughout.

[@MageSkeleton]

it's a weird thing people forget about but i think i've figured out a way to remember that you can do that; You can only block one creature, but you can block an attacking creature with multiple creatures.

[@DarkEinherjar]

In a similar fashion, we have Narset, Parter of Veils + Teferi's Puzzle Box: your opponents draw their card for the turn, then send their entire hand to the bottom of their libraries, never to be seen again. Unless they draw an instant or a card with flash, they don't get to use it.

[@VVheeli]

If you really want to hate a person, throw in a wheel as well and no one has cards in hand. No cards in hand and the Maralen/Opp Agent on board, you've effectively killed an opponent's chance to play. Love Maralen as a secret commander in Dimir.

Nice video ! A nice 2 cards combo you didn't talk about is ; Triskaidekaphobia + tree of perdition - Tree of perdition is a 0/13 defender for 4 mana including 1 black, and it has : Exchange target opponent's life total with Tree of perdition Toughness - Triskaidekaphobia is an enchantment for 4 mana including 1 black and it has : at the beginning of your upkeep each player with exactly 13 life loses the game So triska... in game, you play the tree at your turn, at the end of the opponent's turn, use the tree ability (with tapping it), and boom your opponent get 13 life and here is your upkeep and the triska... do his thing and the opponent dies Fun and with some mana sources in the first or second turn, this combo is ON at the 3rd or 4th I hope it was clear (I'm french...)

Oh the memory of the time I went to a tournament with the Worldgorger Dragon + Animate Dead combo and nobody at the place knew of the combo. Never before had I been through a series of rounds where EVERY OPPONENT needed the judge to come over and verify the combo I was pulling off. Needless to say, next week I went back with an overtweaked version (including 2 Bazaar of Baghdad) and was met with EVERY person having 4 Tormod's Crypts in their sideboard. Never will forget getting pwned every game 2 + 3....and that's before Leyline of the Void was ever printed and a staple 4 of on sideboards of eternal formats.

[@Dalenthas]

One of my favorite achievements in Commander was Max Punishing a player that tried to go off with the Worldgorger Dragon combo. I Swords to Plowshares'd the dragon with the exile trigger on the stack. Stranded all of his permanents in exile and basically paid W to remove target player from the game.

[@danielcoombs9398]

[@michaelbadgett7543]

Helm of the host works best with Godo Bandit Warlord. Godo will fetch helm for you, then you just have to equip. this combo is also more versatile since its easier to splice in just red rather than boros colors. You also dont have to attack with the equipped Godo so you can keep looping combats and getting a new Godo without Godo having to survive swinging.

Squirrels do build their own nests. They're a bit larger than bird's nests. They resemble a beaver lodge(not a dam, but the lodge which beavers use to live in for shelter) in a tree, but they do also kind of resemble bird nests, especially from below. The main difference between most bird nests is they build a roof to it too, which is why they are much larger, in addition to squirrels being quite bigger than most songbirds. Squirrels are easily the size of a crow in terms of weight. Imo for flavor win it should have been enchant forest.

Worldgorger Dragon combo is amazing with Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger. I would either make so much mana I could cast Kroxa from the command zone enough times to wipe people out, or flicker Kroxa a million times. And I would get the two card combo with final parting. So good.

[@lordkardok666]

You can't actually flicker kroxa infinitely. It has to escape so you can actually only do that once before it's back in the command zone or graveyard. "When Kroxa enters the battlefield sacrifice it unless it escaped."

Another two card combo that affects all your opponents and instawins is the OG card Lich + Repay In Kind. Every player's life becomes 0, but the Lich will keep you from dying. It is expensive for 11 mana, but it's an instant win, nonetheless.

[@bobfrank9267]

Another infinite squirrel combo here. Scurry Oak plus Necrosynthesis. You'll need a sac outlet and a spare creature. When you sac that creature, Necrosynthesis will put a +1/+1 counter on Scurry Oak. Whenever a +1/+1 counter is put on Scurry Oak you make a squirrel. Then you just keep sacrificing your squirrels until you have infinite power, death triggers, mana, or whatever depending on the outlet and what else is on your field.

Yeah but you can also do it woth Cathars crusade and when u play oak it kicks off the combo and you have infinite power toughness scurry oak and infinite amount of infite power toughness squirrels

[@PureEvil3D]

Worldgorger Dragon was really strong for a long time. Usually the mana was spent on either Stroke of Genius targeting your opponent for 70+, or Ghitu Fire or some other instant damage-dealing X spell to win the game mid-loop.

[@banaman7746]

great list, but I have some problems with it: an important note that should be mentioned, in MTG, if an infinite combo is unable to be stopped, the game immediately ends in a tie. this means you have an infinite combo going where you have no "if" condition, or choice, to do something that would exit the loop. there are some comboes in here that this could easily happen: Stuffy Doll + Guilty Conscience: this loop has no end. as soon as you use it, it is possible the game would be forced into a tie if they are unable to lose the game for any reason (there are some cards that do this, such as platinum angel) worldgorger dragon + animate dead: if animate dead only has 1 valid target in the graveyard, each one is going to keep happening infinitely, forcing the game into a tie as there is no end to it. before any effects can trigger, the combo would keep going, not allowing any effects to trigger until the combo ends... which it never would. side note: I would win with staff of domination with all that mana. a card that is just made for infinite mana. also, fireball+channel was not a 2 card combo for the one turn kill. it was black lotus+fireball+channel. (and technically a mountain) mountain land makes 1 red mana, play black lotus (or anything that generates 3 green mana) play channel, pay 19 life, you now have 19 more blue (can be any color, just using other color to show where each is coming from... anyway that is 3 green minus 2 to cast cast, plus 19) for a total of 1 green mana, 1 red mana and 19 blue mana. cast fireball for 1 red + 1 green + 19 blue = 20 damage, you win. using it without black lotus means you would need 2 green, 1 red and 1 more mana of any color to fireball for the 20... also, this wasn't an infinite combo to begin with? but no worries, I have a substitute infinite mana combo for you: Mana Reflection + Basalt Monolith Basalt Monolith is 3 colorless mana, and can tap to generate 3 colorless mana, or untap it for 3 colorless mana, and does not untap during your untap step. Mana reflect, a green enchantment for 2 green 4 colorless makes it so anytime you tap a permanent for mana, it produces twice as much of that mana instead. So now, Basalt monolith will tap for 6 colorless mana, but untap for only 3 colorless mana, giving you infinite colorless mana. bonus infinite combo: trip alarm, and literally any card that taps to generate a token. any at all. trip alarm untaps everything anytime a creature hits the battlefield. so the other card taps, makes a creature, trip alarm untaps it. tap to make another creature, creature comes out, trip alarm untaps again. infinite creatures.

[@jaredflores9601]

With world gorger dragon and reanimate dead couldn't you add sun scorch desert to it to ping 1 dmg Everytime that land enters the battlefield

The thing is that GREEN really doesn't need any more help having infinite mana combo's. And by "Trip alarm" i'm assuming you mean Intruder Alarm which combo's with creatures like Krenko, Mob Boss. Though that's an EXTREME example.

[@banaman7746]

@@MageSkeleton heh, defenitely not arguing that... Green has always had a focus on generating mana, but the video was about infinite mana combos. The thing with basalt monolith though is it works with anything that increases tap for mana by 1 mana, I just used mana reflection because that is what I originally found. And ya, sorry, intruder alarm. For some reason I keep thinking it's called trip alarm (probably because of the picture of a foot going through the alarm)

Enduring Renewal + Alluren. Enduring Renewal is a WW2 Enchantment that forces you to play with your hands revealed, and forces you to discard all creatures you draw at that point. Whenever a creature you control dies, return it to your hand Alluren is a GG2 Enchantment where any player can play any creature with mana cost 3 or less as an instant and without paying its mana cost. Stuff your deck with 3 mana or less creatures that dies to do something... like Mogg Fanatic (sacrifice to do 1 damage). Creature gets sacrificed, does something, return to hand, play it again, sacrifice it, does something, lather, rinse repeat until your opponent is dead or he got disqualified bec he hit you with the chair

[@DarkestFiction]

Worldgorger Dragon is now using Desert Lands from Amonkhet that deal one damage to a player when they etb. I know some decks were using stuff like Fall of the Titans to kill, or they would use something like Walking Ballista, and you would essentially make sure you had another creature in the graveyard to animate to break the loop, and then use the mana for the WB. I prefer the Desert plan now, and it's something of a Tier 2.5 Legacy deck. It's not consistent enough and it's slow enough that it's not a great plan, but when it happens, it's fun to watch. As something of non-infinite combos, but that locks a player out of the game, when we had Opal in Modern, I was playing Whir Prison. In that deck I had loops of things like Bauble to look at the deck and drawing an extra card, to Crucible of Worlds and Ghost Quarter, Tec Edge, or Ipnu Rivulet meaning I could Wasteland them from the game or Mill them for 4 each turn, Ensnaring Bridge and Bottled Cloister to ensure I was never being attacked that game, while still having a hand to play on my turn, and the best was Narset, Parter of Veils and Teferi's Puzzle Box. Essentially, all you would do is play Narset, then Whir for the Box. They get to draw exactly ONE card, and then she ships their whole hand to the bottom. It was a chore for them to break, but it made it so the only thing they could do was to have an instant at that moment that could interact, otherwise they had no options. I won many a game by explaining to my opponent the way that worked, and they would concede.

[@destructorv2]

i love the best part of Channel and Fireball combo is that in the Exodus set, they created one for black named Hatred, that works almost the same as Channel Fireball, except its for creatures +X/+0. this became a turn 1 win if the guy is lucky to find a Raging Goblin, some lotus petals, Dark Ritual and Hatred.

I got one. It's old. Vintage for sure, but it's a deck you should definitely know about: Auriok Salvagers and Black Lotus. Honestly, just one example of why black lotus is the status it is. Here's how it works. Salvagers down and lives. It says "pay 1W return artifact with cmc 1 or less from grave to hand. Enter lotus. I sac to float 3 white. I pay 2 to get it back. I play and sac again for 3 more white (4 total). I pay 2 to return again. Keep going and going. Scaling up your white. Got enough? Now blue. Now red. Now green. Now everything. How do I win? Baubles. The whole set that had those dumb artifacts. They are retrievable by Salvagers and draw you cards. So you draw your whole deck. Then pyrite spellbomb sacs on same mechanic to shock over and over.

[@TJGillam]

I personally run a combination of Turntimber Ranger and Arcane Adaptation. Play Adaptation first, it makes everything you have on the field, in your deck, and out of play the same creature type. Pick Allies. When Ranger or another Ally enters, it makes a wolf and gets a +1/+1. Now, because of Adaptation, the wolves enter as Wolf Ally tokens, which triggers Ranger, adding another wolf, which triggers Ranger again and so on. The trigger says "may" so you can end it once you have a few hundred wolves in play. Combine this with a decent Allies deck, which has a bunch of ETB triggers that the wolves will trigger and its an instant win.

Another way of emptying your library for Thassa's Oracle is Inverter of Truth - 2BB for a 6/6 flying eldrazi; ETB exile library and shuffle graveyard to library.

[@kOfTheQ]

I used 3 changeling berserker with an enchantment(Forget the name power 5 or greater enters battlefield, deal5 damage to target) to deal infinite damage. Extra points for using the berserkers with flamekin harbingers to recursively search for the berserkers when they died.

[@miaouew]

lol that emrakul pic @1:01 is great

[@wharghoul5012]

I discovered an infinite combo on accident in my blue/black zombie mill deck. Takes a while to build up, but you get Rooftop Storm onto the field, play Grimgrin and a Gravecrawler, sac Gravecrawler, play Gravecrawler for free from the graveyard, rinse repeat, and voila, infinite counters on Grimgrin. Not really an ultimate game-winning combo, but it was a fun one that I just happened to discover without even realizing I had built it into the deck.

[@NikachuMTG]

I love it!

[@dathore]

A good way to win with worldgorger dragon is to either A). use Banefire, that can't be countered or prevented if you spend more than 5 mana on it, or B). use impact tremors, an enchantment that deals 1 damage to all enemies each time a creature enters the battlefield under your control, it triggers each time Animate dead brings back the WGD.

[@zmann9978-u7z]

Me: Wait, it's all green? Nikachu: Always has been

[@Trueflights]

Worldgorger Dragon can also trigger infinite ETB effects that could also end games depending on what other permanents are being bounced with him.

[@RetirededKat]

Technically it's a 3-card combo but I had a lot of fun during Mirrodin block with Krark-Clan Ironworks + Myr Retriever x2, in unlimited it was ridiculous with tutors and Dross Harvester

[@avavii]

Heya Nikachu. I’m really enjoying your videos. Thank you for the infos. One thing I would like to recommend: it might be a good choice to not use licensed music from third parties during your videos, like Grant Kirkhope‘s Banjo & Kazooie tracks in this one. There are many options for content creators these days you can use instead. Keep it up. Looking forward to your future videos.

[@NikachuMTG]

Thanks for liking my videos! I'm actually very careful what music I use. After analyzing a lot of other big KZbinrs, I discovered we can get away with this music. For one reason or another, Nintendo doesn't go after (or maybe it's Grant Kirkhope doesn't go after) anyone for this really old stuff. Some music gets triggered by copyright protection and some doesn't

[@jedstanaland2897]

If you combine persist and undieing you can easily make an infinite loop that can do anything you may want to do. For example anything with persist and mekus is an instant infinite loop and if you do it slightly differently with cauldron of Souls and mekus or something that simply enters play with atleast one +1/+1 counter you will get a loop that might not be infinite by itself but if you add dross scorpions you will potentially have infinite mana. You can also do what is known as the infinite enchantment loop all you need is three Enchantments that are fundamental the same as oblivion ring and you can start a loop that unless you have something else to target or a ETB for Enchantments you will lock up the game. The last thing involves some creative work to make it go. First off you will need any one or two mana creature that will bounce back to your hand or another one of your creatures to your hand. Next you need something with landfall to make your kill and lastly you will need ahyasa or something that has a similar effect and you can now play an infinite number of lands on your turn. If your particularly fond of infinite loops pair one of the permanents that make all of your creatures elves in some way and the cards that make all of your elves forest and scute swarm. You can easily pull this one off in commander on turn three or four maybe even faster with just a little bit of acceleration and you will see that the infinite swarm of infinite swarms grows into an infinite loop of infinite loops of infinite loops and if you want to do it at instant speed just add aluren.

[@MageSkeleton]

i recommend checking out Korvold, Fae cursed king. He has a build that runs things like Rythm of the Wild and some of the Persist creatures. Just don't forget the legendary green creatures, both of them.

[@jedstanaland2897]

@@MageSkeleton for world gorger Dragon my favorite part of the combo to use to keep the opponents was highway robber. With stuffy doll you could also couple it with pariah's shield and earthquake to have a minimum of 3 to 1 damage ratio that was almost a sure win.

[@rajamicitrenti1374]

My favorite is still one with two generally not good cards that create a complete lockdown of your opponent: Knowledge Pool + Curse of Exhaustion.

[@MageSkeleton]

in commander, Knowledge Pool can be paired with one of two or five cards to accomplish the "lockdown" including Dovescape.

[@Kornerupine888]

a personal favorite that is called Crab rave you have horseshoe crab, cryptolith rite, and wake thrasher. you tap horseshoe for a blue and then pay a blue to untap horseshoe. everytime you untap wake thrasher it gets a +1/+1 until end of turn. but you see there won't be another turn because you swing for lethal and maybe you throw a spicy trample on that wake thrasher or maybe you want mana from this too slap nyxbloom ancient on there too

[@JackOfOneTrade]

In Vintage, you would get your Worldgorger into the graveyard with a Bazaar of Baghdad. So while making infinite mana, you're also dumping your whole library into the yard. Then you Animate Oona and exile your opponent's library. Or get back a Thassa's Oracle, for that matter.

[@donwilliams3464]

Rosie Cotton of South Lane (2 and a white mana)/ Scurry Oak (2 and a green mana). When Rosie Cotton comes out she creates a food token. When a token enters the battlefield, you get to put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. Target Scurry Oak. When a +1/+1 counter is put on Scurry Oak you get to create a 1/1 squirrel creature token. When a token enters the battlefield it triggers Rosie Cotton. Infinite 1/1 squirrel creature tokens, infinite +1/+1 counters on Scurry Oak.

[@EvenirX]

If you're in white black instead of red black, you can do a similar combo with Leonin Relic-Warder and Animate dead, which is now way cheaper mana cost and doesn't exile everything. Then you can pair it with Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat.

[@jeremywurm8957]

Used to run a turn 1-2 worldgorger combo at my lgs 15 years ago when type 1 was the big game. Needed power to do it but it was an easy win. Illusions of grandeur + donate was the easies win mechanic. Academy rector and everything else to dig... first combo I saw that broke everything.

[@MageSkeleton]

Illusions of grandeur is normally ONLY and exslusively used in Zedruu the greathearted. if we're talking about commander. If you mean standard which i assume you are then yea that's a surprise way to win unless your opponent somehow gained life or was able to pay the cumulative upkeep and take you out still.... which i'm assuming going from 20 life to 40 life never happened.

[@hemjold]

Infinite colored mana: Grand Architect + Pili Pala (i believe you discussed this in another vid) Composite Golem + Nim Deathmantle (infinite mana, infinite die trigs (Blood Artist), infinite ETB trigs (Impact Tremors, Purphoros, Warstorm Surge, Pandemonium)

[@Leftists_are_Losers]

I wonder if anyone else is considering making a commander deck with all these infinite combos buried in the deck … is that even possible ? Would it work ?

[@dbflush]

at 13:06 i throught that u would say Black Leyline, cause this enchantment says your Opponent has no grave and all Card that would put into grave would be exiled instead, but RIP i didnt know anything about that card . Also in a Black Deck with the Leyline this combo could be start going infinite with Dark Ritual and Lotus Paddle turn 2 in case u put the leyline in play that the start of the game

[@kordiggity420]

I absolutely love when i have chatterfang out and pitiless plunderer. makes for a easy board wipe. not to mention if an aristocrat is out as well. i win the game. always love winning at turn 3 :D

[@MageSkeleton]

Chatterfang and Pitiless Plunderer i feel should had been in this video, though as you mentioned it just accomplishes board wiping the opponents creatures but at least that's something.

[@vincenzoditrolio6985]

11:17 i have a izzet burn deck with a couple x spells that could benefit from world gorger dragon infinte mana

[@Mendozer7502]

Old favorite is Palinchron and Dead-eye Navigator for infinite mama plus Capsize cast for 3 and has 3 for buyback. To bounce every permanent you want. Or Blind obedience. You can float manan then re hard cast Palinchron with extort to ping all enemies for one. Bounce Palinchron to your hand for 4 with its own ability then re cast with extort repeat to kill everyone.

[@waaurufu]

As soon as I saw Heliod I knew Walking Ballista wouldn't be too far behind. As for my combo, I recently browsed EDHREC for interesting combo ideas and came across something really simple but silly. Sorin Markov's -3 ability turns someone's life total to 10. Hidetsugu's Second Rite deals ten damage to someone, but only if their life total is exactly ten. Badda bing, badda boom! Another really fun Rakdos combo is Ceaseless Searblades and Lavaclaw Reaches. Ceaseless Searblades gains +1 attack any time the ability of an elemental is activated. Lavaclaw Reaches can become an elemental with an X ability to gain +X attack. You can choose zero for X, and Ceaseless Searblade will still get +1 attack for that choice. Activate Lavaclaw a million times with x equalling zero, and get +1 million attack on the Searblades to swing in for infinite damage!

[@NikachuMTG]

The Second Rite combo is hilarious.

[@markdd4281]

4 card combo Ao Dawn Sky, intruder alarm; run wild and intrepid hero. This lets you play your entire deck on 1 turn. Adding some of these infinite def intriguing

[@adambandurak8913]

Herd Baloth + Cathars' Crusade or Ivy Lane Denizen + (Impact Tremors or Warstorm Surge or Purphoros or Goblin Bombardment) = Infinite Damage, add in Trostani and either Archangel of Thune or Heliod for Infinite Life as well as creatures. Intruder Alarm + Krenko gives Infinite goblins. Earthcraft + Horseshoe Crab and an Island enchanted with Fertile Ground gives Infinite Mana.

[@MageSkeleton]

i would qualify Herd Baloth and Ivy Lane Denizen as a 2 card combo (though haste would need to be established unless able to cast at instant speed) that's amazing.

[@phaylnx]

Most players I played against used the Animate Dragon combo to produce infinite mana to either drain life or to cast buried alive and put a mill creature into your graveyard and animate that creature once you had enough mana to mill your opponents deck away. One guy I played with actually used it in a tournament and bragged he was gonna continue to use it as long as it kept winning, so everyone else that were regulars at the store's tournaments conspired to build desk that all they were mean to do was counter the turn one kill from Animate Dragon. some of the combos that other players came up with were funny. My strategy, which also stopped the other players combos they were using, was just to cast Misdirection for free by pitching a blue card if I needed to and changing the target of whatever spell was the kill condition. As a bonus, for late game I had Grip of Chaos to annoy my opponents into quitting the game, as now all spell would target at random and all my spells could only target opponents.

[@NikachuMTG]

Misdirection is one of my favorite cards!

[@phaylnx]

@@NikachuMTG it's one of the few monoblue cards I like. Not a fan of that color.

[@TheAdarkerglow]

Day of the Dragon and Opalescence. Enchantments are Creatures. Exile all creatures. Both leave play, return to play. Either you have an 'enters the battlefield' trigger, or you've locked the game.

[@samevans4834]

Truly beautiful. These combos are the spirit of MTG

[@siriusghosttv]

I actually ran a version of modern tron with the mindslaver combo. Worked surprisingly well.

[@noolcool4058]

Chandra's Incinerator + Chandra's Incinerator has an on demand board wipe where your cards are safe whenever a source you control deals noncombat damage.

[@sybriusart6137]

back when i played tabletop most ppl would only run basic lands and my cousin came up with a combo to remove all lands from a deck it was a golgari deck and combo was animate land and eradicate, first animate 1 of their lands then use eradicate on it and eradicate would remove that land and all other cards in their lib with the same name as the targeted land. rest of the deck was ways to animate lands and creature kill spells just to get rid of the lands that were already in play, the win con was OP surrender or let them run out of cards or kill them with your animated lands

[@grimmonolith]

I always used Ambassador Laquatus in my Worldgorger Dragon Deck. Animating him stops the loop and then you deck your opponent with the Mana generated.

[@MageSkeleton]

honestly, if you have access to blue you have better options to win with infinite mana. Though you may be talking about Standard in which case really cool pointing that out.

[@grimmonolith]

@@MageSkeleton you wouldn't even need blue because you reanimate Laquatus anyway; but I played it with blue in Vintage.

[@geisen713]

I used to run a mono white control deck with Bringer of the White dawn and mindslaver in it, as well as Eternal Dragon, Pulse the Fields, decree of justice, exaulted angel, oblivion stone etc. Way better then having to cast it again each turn.

[@locodez]

I’m old school. Don’t play anymore, but Channelball was my ish back in the day.

[@leodalkey651]

Painter's servant may be a good combo for my izzet creatures deck featuring river mimics ( 2 cmc red or blue, 2/1, whenever you cast a spell that both red and blue river mimic becomes 3/3 and is unblockable until end of turn). Yet another card that is utterly broken with a Clout of Dominus ( 1 cmc red or blue, enchant creature, +1/+1 haste if red, +1+1 shroud if its blue.) 3 mana for a 5/5 unblockable + shroud... Also Shrewd Hatchling. That deck is already pretty fastand is a good budget deck, but so many appropriate combo cards just don't meet that red and blue requirement. I don't know if it's worth it but the concept of being able to cast any card with blue in the casting cost and get the blue/red bonus is hard to ignore.

[@nicolasboissy4563]

For worldgorger dragon, the most obvious combo would be any activated ability that deals 1+ damage either by tapping (since you infinite enter the battlefield) or paying mana (since you have infinite mana).

[@benderscollections7763]

I just use Oona to mill the opponent in my Legacy Doomsday list with Worldgorger combo

[@Squee_666_9]

For worldgorger dragon combo I use sunscorched desert or caldron familiar to deal infinite damage on etb without breaking the loop or to break the loop make sure that there is at least one other creature in a graveyard so I can target it instead after going infinite mana. In order to get a creature in the graveyard my commander is Kroxa so I try to get people to discard one or I run spot removal and board wipes. Once the loop is broken I cast kroxa from the command zone until everyone is dead. I also run defense grid, imp's mischief, Deflecting swat and ricochet trap to protect the combo.
