Discuss this combo page in the forums! [Read the rules of the thread first, please].

Wild Pair... there are so many possibilities.  The first of which is with Opalescence.  With Opalescence already in play, casting Wild Pair, thanks to it's own ability, will fetch you another creature with a total power/toughness of 12.  I can think of a hoard of powerful 6/6 creatures to fetch, can you? Think Legendary Dragons... 

Whitemane Lion and other Gating creatures like Horned Kavu are also an excellent combo with Wild Pair.  Since the Gating creature can target itself upon entering play, you can keep bouncing and playing the same creature.  Each time you do this, Wild Pair will trigger.  It's a great way to pull out every creature in your deck. 

Ahhh.. Timeshifted goodness.  Mesa Enchantress has a legacy of combos before her in her green counterpart Verduran Enchantress.  While there are many combo possibilities, Flickering Ward was one of the best.

With the Enchantress in white, Flickering Ward is a mono white combo.  How does it work?  Play Flickering Ward, draw a card.  Bounce the Ward back to your hand with it's own ability and play it again.  Basically, "WW: Draw a card.". 

YWN suggests using Auratog and Spirit Loop instead of boring 'ol Flickering Ward...

Remember every other Wrath of God or WoG variant combos I've ever posted on Magic Deck Vortex?  This is no different.

YWN advised using the artifact Phyrexian Totem with Damnation.  Not only does it give you a hefty 5/5 to attack with after the dust settles, but it's mono-black.  Thanks, YWN.

As mentioned previously on combos pages, Wrath of God variants (or Timeshifted cards) will work with any 'chimeric-like' enchantment or artifact card as they won't be affected by the destructive effects of the WoG variant (while un-animated).

This is a tricky combo that started off as just a Jedit - Yavimaya card interaction submitted by Niv-Mizzet_Rulez!  Then uber_panda suggested adding Breath of Fury for infinite damage.  Then YWN quickly advised you needed to give the tokens haste for the combo to work.  Phew.

In the end, here's what happens: Have Jedit, a 2/2 green Cat Warrior token and Mass Hysteria in play. Note: Yavimaya is the card that enables all of your cats to be unblockable (via forestwalk) since she gives your opponent a forest.  Otherwise, she doesn't matter to the sequence of this combo.  The token needs to be enchanted with Breath of Fury.  Attack with Jedit and token.  Jedit generates another token.  Jedit and the original token are unblockable and thus they deal damage.  Sacrifice Breath of Fury and attach it to the new token.  Untap Jedit.  Now attack with the new token, which has haste thanks to Mass Hysteria and Jedit.  Repeat to inflict potentially infinite damage.

Stuffy Doll and Shivan Meteor... I bet no one saw this combo coming.  I mean, it's the most under-talked-about card combination on the net.  In all seriousness, just target your own Stuffy Doll with the Meteor and watch your opponent lose 13 life.  And mind you that's just for five mana! 

Volcano Hellion works the same way... just target the Doll with the Hellion's comes into play ability and watch your opponent lose the game.  In most scenarios, that is...

With Mantle of Leadership, the prime candidate to be enchanted is one with evasion.  Preferably unblockability or next up Shadow.

With cards like Firecat Blitz that have the potential to create a LOT of creatures really fast, suddenly a Mantled evasion creature becomes your win condition. [DECK] 

With Future Sight (the card) in play, play Shivan Wumpus.  Your opponent will most likely sacrifice a land to put Shivan Wumpus back on top of your library.  With Future Sight, just play the Shivan Wumpus again.  The question is -- will they sacrifice another land?  I guess that depends on how your persuade them? 

I would use a card like Pyrohemia to convince them to put Shivan Wumpus back on top of your library...

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth has lots of combo potential.  The most notorious card of combo potential is Karma.  With all lands in play being swamps thanks to your legendary land from Planar Chaos, Karma will hit big.  However, it will hit you big too.  Unless, of course, you bounce it back to your hand before the end of your opponent's turn.  Or, you could animate the enchantment and add Spirit Loop to it.  There are many ways around the drawback of Karma... 

Your could always use Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth with plain 'ol swampwalking creature unless, of course, you want something more exciting. Something like Kormus Bell and Wail of the Nim. I'll let you figure that one out.

Mad Mat notes that Urborg's Tomb also likes Cabal Coffers, Consume Spirit, Mutilate, Spreading Algae and Bubbling Muck.  Oh, the fun!

These two cards are a great way to break through any stalemate.  First cast Timbermare and tap all other creatures.  Then cast Exhaustion and make sure your opponent's don't untap those creatures (and lands) come their next turn.   

Captain Jack Sparrow suggests using To Arms! with Timbermare as well.  You can untap all of your creatures the same turn Timbermare comes into play and attack with everything.  Thanks for the input, CJS!

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 85% of all submitted combos are duplicates. 

Pyrohemia, the Timeshifted Pestilence, is a powerhouse.  However, as mentioned earlier with the Circle of Affliction-Pestilence combo, Pyrohemia only stays in play as long as there is at least one creature in play.  Light of Sanction to the rescue!  With this card, all damage dealt to your creatures by Pyrohemia is prevented. 

Just be careful of your own life total.

Using Serendib Sorcerer, you can ensure it's one of your opponents creatures that dies to white's version of Drop of Honey a.k.a. Porphyry Nodes. You see, the Nodes looks for the creature with the lowest power.  I don't think you can go any lower than zero.

If that's not to your liking, here's a different same color combo:  With the Serendib Sorcerer and Merfolk Thaumaturgist, you can kill any creature.  One tap makes an opponent's creature 0/2.  Another tap makes that creature 2/0, killing it thanks to state-based effects.  Partially submitted by planeswalker.

Let me make this combo as simple as possible for you.  Suspend Dichotomancy (unless, of course, you want to hard cast it...)  Before it resolves out of suspension, use Gigadrowse to tap all of your opponent's nonland permanents.  You get a copy of every nonland card your opponent has in play (assuming he or she has copies of them in his or her library) and then they all die because of Leyline of Singularity.

Wow - blue gets a lot of removal in Planar Chaos.  Mind you, via combos and synergies, but still.  This is crazy.

Having troubles dealing with your opponent's creature hordes?  Try this combo out for size. 

With Dormant Sliver in play and Hivestone set to Sliver, Donate Hivestone to your opponent.  Now, all of your opponent's creatures are Slivers and are subject to the ability of your Dormant Sliver.  Thus, they now all have defender.  From there, what you do to win the game is your own choice. 

Wall of Shards may not have combo'd with Rain of Gore, but it sure combos with Kavu Predator.  With both the Wall of Shards and Predator in play, during each of your upkeeps your opponent will gain life and your Kavu will get that much bigger.  Don't forget the Kavu Predator has trample.

If you want something a little less obvious and obnoxious, you could use Skyshroud Cutter. Playing the Cutter for free may gain your opponent five life, but it will also give the Predator five +1/+1 counters making it a 7/7 trampler.  Yikes. 

When you look at these three cards, do you think of denying your opponent a draw step for the rest of the game and creatureless to boot!?  I didn't either. 

Here's how it works.  With the two enchantments in play, play Molten Firebird.  Because of Confusion in the ranks you and your opponent will switch control of permanents.  The end result, your opponent will now have Molten Firebird.  Use Blood Rites to sacrifice the creature you took from your opponent to deal two damage to the Firebird.  The Firebird dies and causes your opponent to skip their next draw step -- then at end of turn it comes back under your control.. starting the cycle over again.  Note: You can use Aether Flash instead of Blood Rites for similar combo. [DECK]

Remember Kismet?  Remember the Kismet - Royal Assassin combo of old?  This combo is no different -- it's just in blue-black now -- that's all.  

Note: With your opponents' creatures coming into play tapped, Royal Assassin will have ripe pickings of killing them off one by one as they come into play.  One per turn, of course.  Unless, of course, you have a Pemmin's Aura on the assassin.

With a Magus of the Tabernacle in play, cast Nature's Revolt.  Now all lands are creatures -- which make them subject to the Magus's ability.  That is, for each land they have (which are now creatures) and each creature they have besides, they will have to pay 1 for or sacrifice it.  One round of that, and you should see your opponent's forces diminishing quickly.  Use Vedalken Mastermind to bounce the Magus back to your hand at the end of your opponent's turn.  This way, you won't suffer similar effects from this combo.   Just recast Magus a few turns in a row doing the above and your opponent should either lose due to lack of permanents, or concede. 

YWN suggests throwing a Paradox Haze on your opponent in addition to the above for further pain and suffering on their part.

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 a 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. 

Remember, I strongly encourage you to not copy any deck on MDV, but to use it as a reference or inspiration for your own.  Enjoy the combo pages! ~John Streetz~
