Force players to play Heads Up to draw their draw phase card (requires Unset)

Thumbnail
gallery
37 Upvotes

Steps

Ideally this is after a mass board wipe that keeps player's lands. (Cyclonic Rift, Farewell)

Play all the cards in the gallery prior to playing Fractured Identity

Play Fractured Identity with a Storm Count greater or equal to 3. (resulting in the original being cast and 3+ copies)

With the Fractured Identity spells, Target Witchbane Orb, Necrodominance, Frankie Peanuts, and Vexing Acanix. You can target Psychic Network if need be. *Do not target Karn's Sylex*. Target your other nonland permanents if you have to. (this is the price for comedy). Note: You can replace Karn's Sylex with one of the creatures that prevents you from paying life.

Result:
Necropotence says they can't draw cards unless they pay life. Karn's Sylex says you can't pay life. They can instead draw their draw step card with their own Vexing Arcanix. They can get information about the card on their head with Frankie Peanuts. Players can't target other players with their Vexing Arcanix because they have hexproof.

Make Five Eldrazi Spawn for 3UUG (and 2 Life)

Thumbnail

29 Upvotes
  1. Cast Kasmina, Enigma Sage.
  2. Cast Jace's Machinations.
  3. Ult the Jace Token using Kasmina's Ult, killing it.
  4. Grab Mnemonic Deluge and cast it for free, targeting Jace's Machinations, thus making one big 24 Loyalty Jace Token.
  5. -X Kasmina, where X=1, for a 1/1 Fractal Token.
  6. Ult the new Jace Token using Kasmina's Ult, reducing it to 16 Loyalty.
  7. Grab Emergent Ultimatum and cast it for free, choosing Beseech The Mirror, Buried Alive, and Victimize.
  8. Cast Buried Alive, searching for Razaketh, The Foul-Blooded, and Academy Rector, then use Victimize, sacrificing the Fractal Token to return Razaketh and Academy Rector to play.

8a. If either Buried Alive or Victimize were chosen to return to the deck instead of Beseech The Mirror, do as you would in point 8, but instead of casting the missing spell directly, cast Beseech The Mirror, sacrificing the Jace Token, in order to search for and cast the missing spell.

  1. Pay 2 Life, sacrificing the Academy Rector to Razaketh, and exile it as it hits the grave to search for Omniscience and put it into play.

  2. Resolve Razaketh's ability, searching Skittering Invasion.

  3. Cast Skittering Invasion.

  4. Complete! You now have five (!!!) Eldrazi Spawn.

EDIT: It's been brought to my attention that this doesn't work due to how targeting is timed with Emergent Ultimatum. To resolve this, choose [[Return To The Light Realms]] with Emergent Ultimatum instead of Victimize. If Return To The Light Realms gets put back, proceed as you would, choosing Victimize from the library. If Buried Alive is sent back, play Beseech The Mirror first to grab it, then Return To The Light Realms. And if Beseech The Mirror is chosen, simply play Buried Alive and then Return To The Light Realms. Means you need an extra specific card in the library, but with this extension the combo should work to get you those Eldrazi Spawns.

You can now use mana to cast Hogaak

Thumbnail
gallery
123 Upvotes

As we all know Hogaak is an extremely extremely difficult to cast card due to his restriction of not letting you spend mana to cast him. Luckily there is now a way to cast this perfectly balanced card, and all you need is a little help from your friends.

Assist has the assisting player be the one who spends their mana on your spell. As Hogaak only restricts you from spending mana on him, other players are free to spend as much mana as they want.

Unfortunately they can only pay for the generic portion so you'll have to find some other way to pay for the hybrid mana costs.

Gain infinite life (and mana) by punching yourself in the face while making some hungry paladins dance on the spot

Thumbnail

Pre-requisites: land for turn, 20 life,

Step 1: Cast bloomsage
Step 2: play skycoach waypoint as land for turn and activate it to prepare bloomsage
Step 3: cast channel
Step 4: cast chromatic orrery for 7 life (13 life)
Step 5: Cast Famished paladin and mirror image with Chromatic orrery, having mirror image copy Paladin.
Step 6: Cast Aladdin's ring for 8 life going down to 5.
Step 7*: Pay 1 life for Children of korlis and sacrifice it to heal back up to 20 (skip this step if you are playing c*mmander).
Step 8: Cast clock of omens for 4 life, then Transcendence for 6, going down to 10 life.
Now the fun begins.
Step 9: Activate the ring targeting yourself, paying 8 life (life total at 2 now). Transcendence triggers, healing you up to 18. The paladins trigger to untap, so in response tap them with clock to untap the ring. let the ring resolve, punching yourself in the face for 4, taking you down to 14. Transcendence triggers, healing you 8 life, bringing you to 22. Now transcendence will have a state-trigger to make you lose the game. Before this resolves, activate the ring targeting your self again, losing 8 life (14 life) Again, Transcendence will trigger to heal you 16, bringing you up to 30. This time however, it won't put another trigger to lose the game (603.8 "...A state-triggered ability doesn't trigger again until the ability has resolved, has been countered, or has otherwise left the stack."). The paladins will attempt to untap again, so tap them to untap the ring. Punch yourself for 4 damage, and gain 8 life with transcendence again. You can now start the loop as follows:
- untapped Paladins have an untap trigger after you gain life from being punched
- Tap them before the trigger to untap the ring
- Activate the ring to punch your face by paying 8 life
- Heal for 16 with transcendence, untap the paladins
- Punch yourself in the face for 4
- heal 8 with transcendence.
- Paladins attempt to untap (go back to step 1)

Rinse and repeat until you have infinite life and a few untap triggers of the paladins buried on the stack. end the combo by now using those triggers to untap the ring again and slap your opponents to death.
