Kinda of a joke thread where people can put down stupid(not stupidly good) combos they have seen/heard and share? There's one guy i heard saying that he wished Stifle would come back so he can put it in his Bant deck and use it on his Novablast wurms. His rationale was after he novablasted the field with 1 novablast wurm, he can deal 14 damage the turn after by stifling both of his wurms..... sure it could work but it just seems silly..

there's this 5 yr old kitchen countertop casual combo going around the t2 circuit.. I hear it's sovereigns of lost alara + conscription in the deck + an attacker.© __________________ Since it is obviously inconceivable that all religions can be right, the most reasonable conclusion is that they are all wrong. -Christopher HitchensReligion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. -Seneca the Younger

False Cure: "until end of turn, whenever a player gains life, that player loses 2 life for each 1 life he or she gained."False Cure combined with alot of cards that allows you to play it for free at the cost of giving your opponent life. I've never seen this actually pulled off, I'd say the chances of this going off are very slim. You would never get away with it unless it was a casual game either. Who knows, maybe someday it will be possible? But I somehow doubt it.

I used Emrakul + Jace TMS in EDH. It was the best thing ever....play Emrakul, take extra turn, annihilate for 6, remove counter from Jace to bounce Emrakul.... repeat! 5 counters on jace. People scooped when they saw the second attack and realized the number of counters left. Good times. __________________

You clearly haven't heard of the Dream Halls deck in legacy. This is a real deck, although by no means tier 1.

Playing type 4 four I had a similar opener. I was on the play and I had a hand of 3 cards I don't care about, emrakul, karakas. What a funny draw.

A stupid combo I used to use in multiplayer was nevinyrral's disk + false cure. The reason it hurt people was because everyone I played with always played with congregate and they always saved it for wrath-type effects that killed everyone's creatures. So after they all finished announcing that they casted congregate in response to the disk I'd respond by casting false cure. It was an idiotic combo but it was effective in my group.__________________ |My Angels~My P9 l""|"\__, |~~My #1 Angel~~l'_|'_|_|) |(@)(@)""***|(@)(@)**|(@)

Actually, yes I have. But what does this have to do with anything?

You can't really call it a "cawful combo" if it's good enough for a real deck in a real format.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, as they're more downright weird than awful, but I've played every one of these (mostly in mulitplayer) just for the strange looks I get.Ivory Mask --> Hive Mind --> Neverending Torment Rites of Flourishing, Howling Mine, any infinite life combo, Arbiter of Knollridge. Games are sooo much more fun when everyone has 10 million life... and you have a mill deck.

I have a junk deck called "Plunk".(skip decklist to COMBO if you like) 4x Lotus Cobra 4x Knight of the Reliquary 3x Birds of Paradise 4x Elvish Piper 2x Master of the Wild Hunt 3x Platinum Angel 1x Baneslayer Angel 1x Kozilek, Butcher of Truth 1x Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre 1x Emrakul, the Aeons Torn 1x Garruk 3x Path to Exile 2x Maestrom Pulse 1x Vines of the Vastwood 1x Emerge Unscathed 1x Summoning Trap 1x Ad Nauseam 1x Repay in Kind 3x Sejiri Steppe 3x Marsh Flats 4x Verdant Catacombs 1x Tectonic Edge 3x Stirring Wildwood 2x Plains 2x Swamp 6x Forest 1x Eye of Ugin Although the combo is not the main objective of the deck, it can happen in as many as 1 in 10 games. So here it is: (COMBO) With a platinum angel in play. If your opponent casts a targeting removal spell on platinum angel, cast Ad Nauseam in response. Otherwise do it at the end of their turn. If there is no response to your casting Ad Nauseam, it cannot be interrupted as you continue to draw cards. (If there is another removal spell in response, hopefully you can use Knight of Rel.'s ability to pull a Sejiri Steppe into play and get through it. Otherwise only draw 1 card and hope it's not Emrakul). So Ad Nauseam happens and you draw cards, going to negative life, until you have the following cards in your hand: Repay in Kind Vines of the Vastwood AND/OR Emerge Unscathed At the beginning of your next turn cast Repay in Kind to bring your opponent to whatever your life total is (should be around negative 80). This is especially fun in games with more than 2 players, but the deck is competitive in serious play. And BTW, if anyone uses this deck idea I hope they'll remember to call it "Plunk" (or "Plunk, by Dan Loeb" if you're not into the whole brevity thing). (Named for being a PLatinum angel deck with jUNK colors -- PLUNK. Also, that's what happens to everyone's life totals when its combo goes off.)

Dream Halls actually won tournaments. I don't think anyone in their right mind would play Cure in the legacy format. Also, just because it came off of Salvation doesn't make it a viable deck.

The False Cure combo is IN the dream halls deck. It's the same concept, except a more streamlined way to win that uses 3-5 less cards which means 3-5 more slots you have for control magic or tutors. With the False Cure win instead of the Ultimatum-Hellkite win, it's a better, more compact combo. So again, it's a viable deck (False Cure Dream Halls) that has already won niche tournaments and therefore doesn't belong here.

personally, i HATE the hive mind, any pact spell crap. Nothing quite like first turn vampiric tutor, second turn dark ritual dark ritual, hive mind, PAAAAAAAAAAAAAACTS.... gg...I love using false cure with swords to plowshares... especially with all the big creatures lately. ULAMOG = lose 11 life...

Oh ok, I did some research and I see what you are referring to now. I suppose the context I was using it in was slightly different than the Dream Halls + False Cure + Beacon of Immortality combo that you pointed out. Not too many people seem to be running False Cure, maybe that's why I never heard of it?

I remember a guy playing lure + venom + regeneration on a creature. His deck was built around it. We'd usually leave him be until turn 12 or so when he finally was able to get all 3 enchantments on a creature...that's when one of us would StP it. I remember another guy playing forcefield + urza's armor and then 'graciously' offered the rest of us the opportunity to concede since he felt those two cards together rendered him virtually unkillable...lol. I made a deck with hell's caretaker + intruder alarm and I thought it was awesome at the time. __________________ |My Angels~My P9 l""|"\__, |~~My #1 Angel~~l'_|'_|_|) |(@)(@)""***|(@)(@)**|(@)

If you can get these cards out (and at the time, I usually did).This was back in the days when oath of druids was T2 or thereabouts, dont quite remember. my combo was: play oath, play altat of dementia then rector the angelic chorus to play. then play serra avatar gain 20 life and then sack to altar and mill my opponent of 40 cards! lol It was so fun Most of the time, I didnt even need the chorus as there were so many other cards that made you gain life. =) BL __________________ Be sure to send me your wishlists! =)
