Combos in the deck (2)

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”.

  • Sensei's Divining Top + Echoes of Eternity + Glaring Fleshraker → Infinite creature ETB, Infinite creature LTB, Infinite card draw
    Example – 11 versions with these cards: Sensei's Divining Top · Echoes of Eternity · Ulalek, Fused Atrocity · Glaring Fleshraker · Mystic Forge · Ugin, the Ineffable · Writhing Chrysalis · Herald of Kozilek and 3 more
  • Basalt Monolith + Forsaken Monument → Infinite colorless mana

Commander Spellbook lists 12 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.

In the list (original cards)
  • Emrakul, the Promised End: AI can't play it
  • Selective Obliteration: AI can't play it
Played instead in the tournament
  • Mana Vault: replacement
  • Void Winnower: replacement
