(It's also worth mentioning here that Agatha's Soul Cauldron's ability to fix our mana for activated abilities is helpful here since we don't really need to worry about which colors of mana we are making-they all work.) This gives us a Kami of Whispered Hopes that can tap for three mana and then untap for two mana, giving us infinite mana of any combination of colors. There are a few different ways we can do this, but a super straightforward example is we play Kami, get Sleep-Cursed Faerie in the graveyard, and exile it to Agatha's Soul Cauldron to put two +1/+1 counters on Kami. The primary goal here is to give the creature that can tap for multiple mana-like Kami of Whispered Hopes-the ability to untap itself for less mana that it makes with the help of Agatha's Soul Cauldron.

The best option here is Sleep-Cursed Faerie, which can untap itself for just two mana, although Depth Charge Colossus can also work. The second piece of our infinite-mana combo is a creature that has an activated ability that can untap itself. We can play a Kami of Whispered Hopes, try to combo with it, and, if our opponent can kill it, simply exile it to Agatha's Soul Cauldron to restart the combo by giving another creature its ability.

In general, one of the weaknesses of creature-based combos is that your combo pieces die to creature removal, but, in a weird way, Agatha's Soul Cauldron gets around this. But it's worth mentioning that our combo can also work with Kami or Deathbloom Ritualist in the graveyard since we can exile them to Agatha's Soul Cauldron and give another creature the mana producing activated ability. The most common way we'll combo is by playing a Kami, exiling a creature to Agatha's Soul Cauldron to put two +1/+1 counters on it so it can tap for three mana of any color, and then proceed to make infinite mana with the help of another card we'll talk about in a minute. For this, we turn to Kami of Whispered Hopes and, as a backup, Deathbloom Ritualist.

First, we need a creature that taps for at least three mana. The most straightforward (and most important) combo in our deck is using Agatha's Soul Cauldron to make infinite mana. While functioning as graveyard hate (it's almost an Unlicensed Hearse) and growing our creatures are nice, the real power of Agatha's Soul Cauldron is that giving our creatures activated abilities they aren't supposed to have opens the door for some truly absurd game-ending combos! The two-mana legendary artifact has a ton of text, but the important part is that it can exile a creature from a graveyard to put a +1/+1 counter on a creature we control and gives all of our creatures with +1/+1 counters the activated abilities of the creatures it exiles. Without its ability to give our creatures the activated abilities of creatures it exiles from our graveyard, none of our infinite combos would be possible. As a result, probably the easiest way to understand the deck is just to walk step by step through the combos we're trying to pull off.Īgatha's Soul Cauldron is by far the most important card in our deck. Today's deck is a combo deck-we're all about assembling the right combination of cards that will let us go infinite in basically every possible way.
