I would put this to every deck of mine that's not graveyard centric itself or black for bojuka bog. It's so easy to include. For graveyard decks it's soulguide lantern. Voila, every deck has grave covered by at least a card! Ghost also quarter goes to every deck except 4/5 color that needs all the colors and has chaos warp and beast within/generous gift anyway to kill that problem land.

thoracle consult can also be stopped by instant speed forced card draw and after their library is empty, or if their graveyard is bigger than their devotion to blue, endurance their graveyard into their library after consultation resolves too. both are super specific and not as open ended as countering the spell, but it's something you can do outside of blue

FYI it's not uncommon for cEDH games to end in a finite combat step these days. Stax is *very* common/popular in the current meta. It's not rare to see groups of derpy hate bears end the game since others are unable to perform their combos due to the myriad of stax pieces.

Cedh decks that win with combat damage. Some better than others. 1. Winota, Joiner of Forces 2. Pako/Haldan Partners 3. Tymna/Kamahl stax bears 4. Ishai/Jeska Partners 5. maybe krenko (never played against him) That’s pretty much it. There’s lots of Cedh decks that attack/ do combat damage to get a high upside. But the decks listed above use combat damage as their main strategy.

I would argue that pako/haldan fits with Narset(in casually powerful decks), it's infinite turns/combats by flipping from the top. In cedh, it gains better counters and ramp off the opponents and itself. I wouldn't say it's *main* wincon is combat. I'd say it's infinite combats. Like Godo.

Oh man, I haven't watched the video yet but as someone who has played artifacts, combos and esper religiously have I such glorious things to tell you. Thassa's and consultation blah blah blah. Let's skip to the good stuff, Rest in Peace/Dauthi Voidwalker/Leyline of the Void and Energy field or Helm of Obedience makes it so you can't take damage from opponents or helm mills everyone out since things can never hit the graveyard. Smothering tithe, windfall, and revel and riches sets you up for a win and access to a lot of mana. If you're in a good position you're in the best colors for removal with wrath effects so you don't NEED smothering tithe. Urza, I don't need to say anything about. Emry, Lurker of the lock is an amazing commander I overlooked until I built it for a friend. It is just simply good recursion but it also combos with intruder alarm, an artifact creature and blasting station, it also goes infinite with Mirran spy, lotus petal, urza's/mishra's bauble and lab man or something along those lines. She also combos with aetherflux and while you're at it throw in dramatic isochron and what the heck throw narset's reversal in your deck and any extra turn spell. Narset's imprinted under isochron to return an extra turn spell to your hand each turn and get a copy of it means you basically have infinite turns.

you can also do the demonic consultation combo in mono blue, but it's sorcery speed. Paradigm shift is a sorcery for 1U (2 mana) that says "Exile all cards from your library. Then shuffle your graveyard into your library." if you do this on turn 2 or 3 you only have paradigm shift in there, meaning the devotion to blue is higher = you win.

One of my favourites that goes infinite at the drop of a hat is Necrotic Ooze. Necrotic Ooze on the field with Triskelion/Walking Ballista in the grave with Phyrexian Devourer is a non-infinite combo that often kills. Necrotic Ooze with Pili-Pala and Palladium Myr in the grave also goes infinite, Walking Ballista could be in grave or hand, as long as Ooze doesn't have summoning sickness. Sub out the Necrotic Ooze in either of these combos with Trazyn the Infinite, or with Myr Welder and some extra mana to start up activations, and you've got the game. That's a good 8 cards that go infinite in some combination, that are easy to splash into a deck that cares about the graveyard/artifacts and has access to black (6 cards if you're just colourless - cut the Ooze and Trazyn).

Just in case anyone didn't know, Bolas's Citadel + Aetherflux Reservoir + Necropotence also works because you can just use necropotence to exile lands from the top of your library when they get in the way and you'll very quickly be gaining so much life per spell that you can just play your entire deck and win either with aetherflux reservoir or any other combo in your deck

Karmic guide can be sacrificed to a black permanent. Protection-can't be damaged or *Targetted* by a black permanent. Most sacrifice(I hesitate to say *all* with mtg. XD), doesn't say 'target'. Just says 'sacrifice a creature'. Since it doesn't target, Karmic is good to be sacrificed. Protection is weird. It's why most people get confused by Progenitus dying to Wrath of God.

Turn 2: drop land and play Jeska from commandzone and tripple the DMG on Ishai than play Kediss from your hand and attack. GG :)

My favorite way to interact with Thoracle is to make them draw a card while their deck is empty and orcle's ability is on the stack. Mikokoro and Geier reach sanitarium are amazing for this as they need to be stifled and people often forget they're on the board. And Thoracle doesn't have a clause to win with a draw on an empty deck like lab maniac. But consultation always completely empties the deck.

Personal favorite, infinite mana with silver and pladium myr, myr galvanizer and a clone. Add memnarch and steal everything. Takes five cards but it’s so worth it. Tap pladium and silver to make three mana, two colorless and a blue. Tap one of your myr galvanizer for one and untap you other myr and do it again, gaining a blue and a colorless each time. Once you have infinite you can pay your memnarch activation and first turn everything into artifacts and then activate the second ability and steal everyone’s permanents. It’s a little bit janky but always my favorite to pull of, especially if your opponent has never seen it.

A good time to deal with Isochron Scepter is with the Imprint ability on the stack. If you can destroy it then they lose the scepter. Or, if you can afford to give them 1 untap, do it with the untap ability on the stack. Then, even if they can get the Scepter back the Imprinted card is exiled forever.

The game ending thing is true but there have been plenty of times that I simply wanted to find combos that will simply let me get ahead in the game so that I can build a more optimized frack that can handle more situations but all that is out there is the narrow definition “infinite combos” whenever I try to find stuff in the internet and it’s annoying. Honestly infinity is kind of easy. If you build a 7-10 deck small combos pop up wherever if you play cards in the right order. The smallest of which is a playing a spell that is triggered by the next spell you would play and that next spell is triggered by what the original did. That way you simply get more value out of the cards as opposed to the opposite order which would do nothing. Maybe I just wanna go 3 to 10 lands in a turn. I once made an infinite combo with Aetherworks marvel that let me cast every black spell in my deck if I wanted to. I took it out of the deck because it made playing the deck less fun.

So to clarify, Teysa Karlov with a board wipe and cruel celebrant with a decent board is a "critical mass combo"?

I'd just like to mention words of wind. It goes infinite with sol ring and mana Crypt, but it can go infinite with any 2 mana rocks that can produce at least 3 mana more than what they cost to cast (like with cost reducing effects)

Outside of blue, Noxious Revival can beat a Thoracle combo, but you have to also get them down to zero devotion to blue (which means kill the Oracle) in order for it to work, so you literally need multiple answers.

Umbral mantle needs to be countered or stopped before being equipped. Untapping the creature is part of the cost of the activated ability of umbral mantle. If you use a mana producing creature (priest of Titania, selvala explorer returned, etc), you can retain priority and continue stacking umbral mantle triggers while repeatedly gaining mana from the creature. Your opponents will not be able to respond until you decide to pass priority for the umbral triggers (equipped creature gains +2/+2 until end of turn) to resolve.

My favorite current combo is with command the dread horde. First I need at least 3 creatures in my gy that have "when a creature enters the battlefield you gain 1 life" and 3 creatures with "when you gain life, opponent lose 1 life". If I dreadhorde just those 6 creatures, that is 54 damage. I'm sure my opponents will have creatures in their graves so with just a few more creatures targeted, I blow away the table.

mabye late to the party but: Thassa//consultation is the reason our playgroup started playing a wonderful card called trickbind. Let'em resolve consultation counter thassas trigger and boom...one player down so i guess you trade 1 for 99 :D Other things include crop rotation into cephalid coliseum, mikokoro, geist reach sanitarium basically any land that draws them a card; blue zenith (and similar), and a funny one is blessed respite :D Probably there are better ones but these seem to work in like 75% of the times.

I play sharuum and try not to base my entire deck around the combo. only have sculpting steel with disciple of the vault and leonin elder. If i get the combo in my hand or draw it, ill do it, but it doesn't happen too often.

Isn’t tymna Kamal a beats deck in cedh? I know winota can combo but doesn’t need to, jeska ishai can also combo but doesn’t need to. There’s like maybe 5-6 combat based decks or nonsense kills like yuriko in cedh that can just leverage the card adv and the big dmg to kill.

How did y'all determine which combos you wanted to pick for the video? Just browsing through EDHREC's combo page, y'all missed A LOT of common combos and I'm just wondering why things didn't make the cut? And most of these combos are cEDH so what happened to the power level of 6 - 8 that is showcased on this channel? Y'all can take this how y'all want but I'm just asking for consistency.
