Make All of the Mana! (part 2)

Hello everyone!

I am back once again for part 2 of the infinite mana series! I have a lot more cool combos and interactions that can help you cast your 9001/9001 Phyrexian Marauders and Shifting Walls (it's over 9000!), so let's dive on in!

Part 1

Combo 11: Powerful Artifacts

Cards:
1x Power Artifact (Antiquities)
1x Grim Monolith (Urza's Legacy)

Combo:
1 - Enchant Grim Monolith with Power Artifact
2 - Tap Grim Monolith for 3 mana
o3
3 - Because of Power Artifact, it only costs 2 mana to untap Grim Monolith
o1

Repeat steps 2 - 3 infinitely to produce 1 additional colorless mana each cycle through

Other cards to try:
Basalt Monolith

Combo 12: Aggravated Elves

Cards:
1x Aggravated Assault (Onslaught)
6x Mana Producing creatures

Combo:
1 - Tap creatures for 6 mana
2 - Use Aggravated Assault to untap all your creatures

Repeat steps 1-2 for infinite mana

Combo 13: Izzet Reset Yet?

Cards:
1x Reset (Legends)
1x Izzet Guildmage (Guildpact)

Combo:
1 - On your opponent's turn, cast Reset
2 - Retaining priority on the stack, copy Reset with your Izzet Guildmage, floating mana from your other untapped lands
3 - Let the Guildmage trigger resolve and untap your lands

Repeat steps 2 - 3 for infinite mana

Combo 14: Elder Maze

Cards:
1x Argothian Elder (Urza's Saga)
1x Maze of Ith (The Dark)

Combo:
1 - Declare Argothian Elder as an attacker
2 - Target Elder with your Maze of Ith to untap it. It is still defined as an attacker
3 - Tap Argothian Elder to untap Maze of Ith and a mana-producing land
4 - Float a mana from the non-maze land

Repeat steps 2-4 infinitely to net 1 mana per cycle. Remember that all your mana in the pool will clear at the end of combat

Combo 15: Doubling Sage

Cards:
1x Filigree Sages (Shards of Alara)
1x Doubling Cube (Fifth Dawn)

Combo:
Start with 9U mana in your mana pool and both combo pieces in play untapped
9U
1 - Pay 3 mana to use your Doubling Cube
6U
2 - Resolve Doubling Cube's Ability
12UU
3 - Use Filigree Sages to untap Doubling Cube
10U

Repeat steps 1-3 infinitely to generate exponentially more mana for each repetition

Combo 16: Oooooze

Cards:
1x Necrotic Ooze (Scars of Mirrodin)
1x Devoted Druid (Shadowmoore)
1x Morselhoarder (Shadowmoore)

Combo:
Start with Necrotic Ooze in play without summoning sickness, and have Devoted Druid and Morselhoarder in your graveyard
1 - Tap Necrotic Ooze to add a green to the mana pool
2 - Put a -1/-1 counter on Necrotic Ooze to untap it
3 - Remove a -1/-1 counter from Necrotic Ooze to add a mana of every color to your pool

Repeating steps 1-3 infinitely will produce a Green mana and a mana of any color you want each time through.

Other cards to try:
Grim Poppet, Experiment Kraj

Combo 17: Phyrexian Melira

Cards:
1x Melira, Sylvok Outcast (New Phyrexia)
1x Creature with Persist (Shadowmoore/Eventide)
1x Phyrexian Altar (Invasion)

Combo:
Start with all 3 cards in play
1 - Sacrifice the Persist creature to Phyrexian Altar to produce a mana of any color
2 - The Persist trigger will go on the stack and return the creature to play
3 - Melira prevents creatures you control from having -1/-1 counters placed on them, so the Persist creature will return to the battlefield without any counters on it

Repeating steps 1-3 infinitely will produce one mana of any color each cycle. Any creature with persist will work for this combo, but undying will not.

Combo 18: Curio... Very Alluren

Cards:
1x Cloudstone Curio (Ravnica)
1x Aluren (Tempest)
1x Cloud of Faeries (Urza's Legacy)
1x Any creature CMC 3 or less

Combo:
Start with Aluren and Cloudstone Curio in play
1 - Tap two lands and float their mana
2 - Cast Cloud of Faeries without paying its mana cost with Aluren
3 - Cloud of Faeries will untap two of your lands
4 - Play any creature with CMC 3 or less (another Cloud of Faeries works!) for free with Aluren
5 - When that creature enters the battlefield, it will trigger Cloudstone Curio and you can return Cloud of Faeries back to your hand
6 - Tap two lands floating their mana
7 - Cast Cloud of Faeries without paying its mana cost with Aluren
8 - Cloud of Faeries will untap two of your lands
9 - When Cloud of Faeries enters the battlefield, it will trigger Cloudstone Curio and can return the other creature you have in play back to your hand

Repeating steps 4 - 9 infinitely will produce 2 lands worth of mana every cycle through.

Combo 19: Oh Glory Days!

Cards:
1x Falkenrath Aristocrat (Dark Ascension)
1x Angel of Glory's Rise (Avacyn Restored)
1x Fiend Hunter (Innistrad)
1x Avacyn's Pilgrim (Innistrad)
1x Zealous Conscripts (Avacyn Restored)

Combo:
Start with Falkenrath Aristocrat in play. Fiend Hunter, Avacyn's Pilgrim, and Zealous Conscripts are all in your graveyard. Angel of Glory Rise can either be in your hand or in the Graveyard.
1 - Put Angel of Glory's Rise into play either by casting or reanimating
2 - Angel's trigger will return Avacyn's Pilgrim, Fiend Hunter, and Zealous Conscripts from your graveyard to play
3 - Fiend Hunter's Trigger will target Angel of Glory's Rise
4 - Zealous Conscripts' trigger will target Avacyn's Pilgrim
5 - Tap Avacyn's Pilgrim for a white mana
6 - Sacrifice Zealous Conscripts, Avacyn's Pilgrim, and Fiend Hunter to Falkenrath Aristocrat. Make a point to sacrifice Fiend Hunter last
7 - Fiend Hunter leaving play will return Angel of Glory's Rise to the battlefield

Repeating steps 2-7 infinitely will produce one white mana through every iteration and Falkenrath Aristocrat will get 3 +1/+1 counters. Normally I wouldn't have included this combo because 5 cards is a little too much to be considered consistent however all of these cards are from Innistrad block. Shouta Yasooka played all of these cards together at PT Avacyn Restored, and having access to the infinite combo was very helpful (although in the PT it's more the infinitely sized Falkenrath Aristocrat that matters more than the mana). Another card that works in the combo is Huntmaster of the Fells. If we replaced Avacyn's Pilgrim and Zealous Conscripts with a Huntmaster of the Fells we would gain infinite life and get infinite 2/2 wolves into play instead of infinite white mana.

Combo 20: Infinite Cockroaches!

Cards:
1x Endless Cockroaches (Portal)
1x Aluren (Tempest)
1x Phyrexian Altar (Invasion)

Combo:
Start wth Aluren and Phyrexian Altar in play
1 - Cast Endless Cockraoches for free with Aluren
2 - Sacrifice Endless Cockroaches to Phyrexian Altar to produce a mana of any color
3 - When Endless Cockroaches dies it will trigger and return back to your hand

Repeating steps 1-3 infinitely will produce a mana of any color each iteration.

There are tons more infinite mana combos out there! I'm sure I will be able to make a third installment to the infinite mana series soon (Misthollow Griffen + Food Chain!). But that's all I have for today! Until next time, stay classy!
