Lorwyn (2007) Featured Combos Page
Part 1 of 3!!!

(2 Infinite Combos, 3 Deck Links)

Brigid is a mean archer machine and even meaner when you have ways to untap her when your opponent is attacking you.  One spiffy way of untapping her as many times as you can afford in one turn is Pemmin's Aura.  For each blue mana you are willing to spend, you can deal and extra two damage to each attacking creature your opponent controls.  Or blocking creatures!  That can be deadly. 

If you want to add some spice to the mix and have a means to destroy most or all of your creatures, add cards that force your opponent to attack you every turn.  Angel's Trumpet, Grand Melee and Fumiko the Lowblood fit that bill.

There are many cards you can combo with Fodder Launch, like the card that Aneximines recommends - Goblin Gardner.  However, Hornet Harasser is a card you can combo with in Limited.  The two cards combined usually equal two lost creatures and five damage to the head. 

Some other Goblin cards that generate effects when they go to the graveyard include Goblin Masons, Akki, Blizzard-Herder , Goblin Marshal, Mogg War Marshal, Mudbutton Torchrunner, Skirk Drill Sergeant and Knucklebone Witch.

INFINITE DAMAGE!  Note this was partially submitted by Aneximines.  Tidewater Minion can tap to untap himself (itself really) as many times as you like.  Ceaseless Searblades get +1/+0 every time an activated ability of an elemental is played.  And thus, the two cards interact to net your Searblades infinite power.  Add Fling to the mix and suddenly you can deal infinite damage to a target.  Sounds like fun to me. 

Note that if Tidewater Minion isn't your cup of tea you could always add Unnatural Selection and substitute the Minion for Seeker of Skybreak or Aphetto Alchemist.  As long as the creature can keep tapping itself to untap itself, you are good to fuel the Searblades.  Obviously, you'll want to make it an elemental with Selection...

There are a whole plethora of cards that combo well with the Evoke creatures of Lorwyn.  Two green cards that work well with Evoke creatures include Wild Pair and Dual Nature.

With Dual Nature, whenever you Evoke a creature, you get a copy of that creature that stays in play and even gets the Comes Into Play ability of the Evoke creature it copied.

With Wild Pair, you get to pull out from your deck another creatures that shares the same total power and toughness as the Evoke creature you just played.

If these two cards don't excite you, try one of the following as recommended by Mad Mat and YWN:  Golgari Germination, Pandemonium, Angelic Chorus, Grave Pact, Savra, Queen of the Golgari, Aura Shards, Auriok Champion, Death Match, Soultether Golem or Lifeline. ...to name a few.

Some might think that just three tokens from the Ranger Giant is too few.  That's when Whitemane Lion comes to save the day! "...and get you three more tokens! And give you the hilarious picture of a lion storming in to save a friggin' giant!"  You'll have to recast the Giant, but five mana for three token creatures in general is a good bargain.  Submitted by YWN

There are some here at Magic Deck Vortex that don't like Forced Fruition and then there are others here that want to write an article about it.  However, one thing is undeniable -- Underworld Dreams is killer with Forced Fruition.  There is no choice in drawing seven cards -- they MUST DRAW THEM.  And with Underworld Dreams, each spell that player plays equates into seven damage.

Aneximines suggests Donate & Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind with Forced Fruition.  I'll let you figure that one out.

YWN submitted this combo and has some interesting comments about it.  To quote him:

Bury an Akroma, a Thornweald Archer, and a... I don't know, Boros Swiftblade? Then swing for the win!

So with Cairn Wanderer in play, cast a Buried Alive to put the best keyworded creatures from your deck into the graveyard which then benefit the Wanderer greatly.

I greatly appreciate your efforts to make these combo pages better.  Every once in a while I have a page chock-full of your submitted combos... although I will admit about 75% of all submitted combos are duplicates. 

This pair works best if you control a bunch of Saprolings and at least one other Treefolk.  Life and Limb turns all of your Saprolings into Forests and all of your Forests into Saprolings.  The important part is the Saprolings into Forests.   Assuming you have a horde of Saprolings, your Dourbark gets an extra boost in power and toughness.  Note: The other Treefolk just gives the Dauntless Dourbark trample.

Now if you remember, there are several Treefolk Legends from the Invasion block that will help out this strategy significantly...

I recently wrote an article about Doran which you have yet to see, but one of the decks in it features Doran and Ensnaring Bridge.  Let me just say that the two cards work very well together -- I'll explain more in my future article.

YWN suggests using Lignify with Doran in play to make one of your 1/1 or smaller creatures a 0/4 which in turn is similar to a 4/4 in combat thanks to Doran. 

Note: YWN suggests replacing Cloak of Mists with Protective Bubble to keep the combo in the Lorwyn Block.

One of the fun abilities on Whitemane Lion is flash, which means you can play it during your opponents turn.  You can also return it to your hand during your opponent's turn and replay it as many times as you can afford in mana.  With Faerie Tauntings in play, 1W basically equates into "1W:  Each opponent loses 1 life," as long as you are playing the Lion during your opponent's turn.  

If you throw in one of the following cards: Thornscape Familiar, Stormscape Familiar, Grand Arbiter Augustin IV or Pearl Medallion... the equation reads "W: Each opponent loses 1 life."

Note: Popovishka suggests replacing Whitemane Lion with Teferi so that all of your creatures can be played during your opponent's turn.

Hostility demands burn spells.  While you could always just stick to Incinerates and Shocks, Hostility demands more.  One card that comes to mind is Flame Rift which deals four damage to all players.  The downside of this card is that you take four too, however, you net at least four 3/1 hasty creature tokens out of the deal.  Sizzle deals three damage to each opponent for one more mana so at least you won't be hurting yourself. If you want something more stable, try Shivan Gorge for at least one token per turn.  Note: Any of these cards work better in a multiplayer game. 

Note: Chandra Nalaar does not work with Hostility as previously states because she is not a spell.  Sorry.  Thanks to Robert Naish for pointing that out.  A suggestion for a replacement would be Arc Blade.. but if you can think of something better, let me know.  ~Streetz~

To the right and left of this text is something called the MDV Deck Link.  You will only find these link buttons on the combo pages.  When you click on the MDV Deck Link it will take you to a deck related to the combo where you found it. 

If the button is to the left of the combo text, this means there is a deck already linked.  If the link is to the right, there is a deck found or that is going to be posted.  Or it is a combo I am currently looking for a deck using it. Mind you, not all decks links are going to center around that particular combo, although most do.
