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”.

  • Demonic Consultation + Laboratory Maniac → Win the game, Exile your library
    Example – 4 versions with these cards: Demonic Consultation · Laboratory Maniac · Jace, Wielder of Mysteries · Hermit Druid

Commander Spellbook lists 4 entries because every version counts separately (for example with a different sacrifice outlet). Here each combo counts once.
