Deck discussion for Broken Combos Deck- Legacy Version

I really like your combo with Argothian Elder and Maze of Ith, hadn't thought of that one before! I guess since it's always considered 'attacking' that you can just keep tapping and untapping forever, yes?

In that case, I think there's a much better thing you could do than make infinite mana: infinite SQUIRRELS.

Squirrel's Nest should do the trick :P

Yup, Maze doesn't stop creature from attacking it just stops it from dealing nor receiving damage as a result of combat.

Squirrel are fun! I'll put a squirrel's nest in the sideboard just for you.

If you like squirrels nest you might also like my

Hi WhisperingMage,

Really don't need to play more than 60 cards with 4 living wishes in the deck. It allows me to grab any creature or land from the my sideboard. And if have infinite mana available the Spawnshire of Ulamog ability will allow my to cast all the Eldrazi that are in the sideboard or if playing casual all the Eldrazi in my personal collection.

Living Wish
Sorcery, 1G (2)
You may choose a creature or land card you own from outside the game, reveal that card, and put it into your hand. Exile Living Wish.

Hello planestalker,

First off, big fan of a lot of your deck builds. This one in particular was super clever. I have a question about the infinite any color mana combo. When argothian elder attacks his ability doesn't activate, so untapping him with maze of ilth wont do anything as far as I can tell. I see how the combo would work with wire wood liege but not maze of ilth. Just wondering if you could enlighten me. Thanks, and keep up the awesome deck building.

Hi heinrich_himmler,

Glad you like this deck. Have any of your decks you want me to look at?

As to your question about how Maze of Ith and Argothian Maze works here are two explainations:

Borrowed this answer from http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090802220541AA3DCpL

Okay, first..
You attack with the Elder.
You untap it with Maze.
You tap the Elder to use it's effect. Remember it is still combat phase, and the Elder is still an attacker.
You can keep on untapping and tapping Elder and Maze, because Elder is still in combat and attacking.
The Elder is never removed from combat during the infinite loop, and it is still attacking, even if you use it's ability.

It's like how an attacking Vigilance creature can use its Tap ability during combat. It's still attacking, but it doesn't mean that you can't use its abilities.

Here's another explaination taken from http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=19203

Here's how it works:

1) Declare Argothian Elder as an attacking creature and tap it (because it's attacking, not to use its ability - that comes later).

2) Tap Maze of Ith to use its ability, targeting the Elder. When the Maze ability resolves, the Elder will become untapped. It is still an attacking creature, but it now won't deal or receive combat damage.

3) Tap the Elder to put its ability on the stack, targeting the Maze and one other mana-producing land (We'll call it a Forest). If the Forest is untapped, tap it in response to float mana. When that ability resolves, the Maze and the Forest will become untapped.

4) Tap the Maze, targeting the Elder again. When that resolves, the Elder will become untapped (again) and still won't deal or receive combat damage.

5) Go to Step 3, rinse, repeat, and finish with an arbitrarily large amount of mana before your opponent declares blockers. Then, hopefully you have an instant you can use to finish off your opponent before you mana burn to death when the combat phase ends.

Level 2 DCI Judge

Hope that clears things up.
