Combos in the deck (3)
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”.
- Seething Song + Reiterate + … → Infinite magecraft triggers, Infinite storm count, Infinite artifact ETB
3 versions, each with one of: Storm-Kiln Artist · Birgi, God of Storytelling // Harnfel, Horn of Bounty · Ruby Medallion - Reiterate + … → Infinite magecraft triggers, Infinite red mana, Infinite storm count
2 versions, each with one of: Jeska's Will · Mana Geyser - Dualcaster Mage + Saw in Half → Infinite creature tokens, Infinite creature ETB, Infinite magecraft triggers
Commander Spellbook lists 6 entries because every version counts separately (for example with a different sacrifice outlet). Here each combo counts once.

Adjusted for the Forge AI
The list above is the best tested version, the way you would play it in real games. The Forge AI can't play a few cards – they were replaced in the tournament (the deck builder also rearranges other slots within the budget). The win rate comes from games with these replacements; the original cards themselves were not tested by the AI.
- Dualcaster Mage: AI can't play it
- Faithless Looting: AI can't play it
- Graven Cairns: AI can't play it
- Mizzix's Mastery: AI can't play it
- Rakdos Charm: AI can't play it
- Rakdos Signet: AI can't play it
- Saw in Half: adjusted to make room for another replacement
- Tomik, Izzet Sparkmage: not in Forge
- Fire Magic: replacement
- Firebrand Archer: replacement
- Kefka, Dancing Mad: replacement
- Mind Stone: replacement
- Phyrexian Arena: replacement
- Reliquary Tower: replacement
- Solphim, Mayhem Dominus: replacement
- Withering Torment: replacement
