Combos in the deck (1)

Detected from the decklist (Commander Spellbook): theoretically possible, see Spellbook for requirements. Whether a combo actually came together in games is shown above under “What the games show”.

  • Helm of the Host + … → Infinite combat phases, Infinite creature ETB, Infinite creature tokens with haste
    3 versions, each with one of: Aurelia, the Warleader · Combat Celebrant · Godo, Bandit Warlord

Commander Spellbook lists 3 entries because every version counts separately (for example with a different sacrifice outlet). Here each combo counts once.

  • Combat Celebrant + Helm of the Host → Infinite combat phases, Infinite creature ETB, Infinite mana creatures you control can produce
  • Godo, Bandit Warlord + Helm of the Host → Infinite combat phases, Infinite death triggers, Infinite creature ETB

What the program has learned

Each tournament the deck tests one card. A verdict needs at least 40 games with and without the card. Since the deck is rebuilt every tournament with current prices and data, tested cards can drop out again later.
