There are a few combos in standard that are just ridiculous...
I'll give an example:
Lord of the Unreal + Phantasmal Image (in an illusion deck)

What other broken combos are there?

Broken is Disciple of the Vault and Affinity.

It means that it is awesome to the point of unfairness, and I don't think that there are any like that in Standard.

Nothing broken, just really good synergy.

You end up with a Lord of Illusion 2/2-human wizard and a Lord of Illusion 4/4 hexproof-illusion.

This will ensure that all future illusions will get +1/+1 and hexproof if the 2/2 Lord of Illusion gets killed.

Like I said, really good synergy.

Yeah, it's good. It would also be a 3/3, not a 4/4. They are definitely going in my illusion deck I just decided to build. :)

@scotty-it would be 4/4 the lord doesn't have the "other creatures" restriction other lords have, so it will give itself the boost, plus the one from the orignal lord

 

I have to agree there are not alot of exceptional combos out right now.  Some that I know or have seen are..

deciver excarch and splinter twin = infinite creatures

melira and etch monstrosity = 10/10 for 5

grand abolisher and silence = other then their upkeep you basically take an extra turn.  more ha ha

champion of the parish and 3x fiend hunter = really large champion, just make sure you have a way to stop or fling it, plus you can always draw the game if its not going your way.

2x heartless summoning and 2x corpse cur = infinite engine-from there its your choice, mill with the occultist, life with suture priest, damage with warstrom surge,  my personal  favorite- gutter grime, an infiniate army of infinite/infinite oozes even sounds fun

@Geri - Yeah, I realized it a couple hours after posting that haha.

Those are pretty good combos, but does Melira really work with the Etched? It seems like it already comes onto the battlefield with the counters and if the counters are already there, she can't remove them.

Yes melira works, but exarchtwin is not standard! Melira actually isnt that good with the abundance of kill spells and artifact removal being played in standard right now! Also theres phyrexian metamorph+leonin relic-warden for infinte etb/ltb!

Rule somethingsomething.something
When permanent say enters battlefield with counters it really means that theyre placed on it blah blah blah.

^^^Paraphrasing!

Well Turbine I can give you four broken horn explanations

1. (Mythology Based) No he cannot a unicorn's horn's healing properties and magic are stored in the horn

2. (Fanon Based) No unicorn's must have a full horn to do magic

3. (Also Fanon Based) Yes, but because his horn is damaged the magic will be uncontrolloable and less predictable

4. (Sarcasm Based) Yes why would a broken horn stop him from playing magic: the gathering?

You forgot the other Mythology one where when a unicorn's horn breaking is a symbol of its corruption, thereby if he could still preform magic it would be much eviler in nature.

Maybe the pony did a horrible crime, and Celestia broke her horn in punishment (AND BANISHED HER TO MOON).

In which case, her magic is now unpredictable.
