Imprint Overseer with Portal While you have out Palladium Myr and Unwinding Clock and tap Portal every turn to spam Steel Overseers.

Any card with Prototype Portal doesn't make a combo.

@ Turbine - Unless, maybe, you Prototype Portal another Prototype Portal, thereby giving you a (possible) infinite different artifacts that can be copied?

It seems really hard to pull off though.

Feeling in a heretic mood, Turbine? Need a bit of Phyrexian preaching to cheer you up? ; )

Thank god. For a second there, I actually thought you were turning serious, depressed, or even worse, Exilis_The_Wraith from Essential Magic. I mean, just look at this:

"There's a reason there are only three slots on the combo page. Please delete before I deem it necessary to find another facepalm picture."

WRONG. Don't make me go into diplomatic mode and say how all combos are great because they exercise the mind and are a source of creativity and intelligence. Oh no, I've started already! 0_0

Pie, combos should only have 3 cards in them. They also must not be like anything else we've ever seen before, must not do anything similar to another card, they must be able to be exectued by turn 3 with never more than 2 colors, and otherwise we're all obligated to shout TINAC and please delete.

I love hearing people say that Jesus never existed on conspiracy arguments, yet they are fully willing to believe evolution explains creation and sometimes even things like, aliens influenced ancient Rome.  They'll often say that Jesus was a creation from the catholic church, even though Jesus's teachings in the bible opposes religious hierarchy, which catholisism is.  Also these same people will say things like, "most of the bible has been proved false anyway." when asked, "like what?" the most common response is, "well Adam and Eve." beside the fact that it hasn't proved wrong, they at no point think that the early parts of the bible are metaphoric to speak to a simpler man, who would evolve to understand it more fully.  Still yet, they fail to recognize that science can never explain itself (if you ask why enough in science you will eventually end with "because").  Also there is still no creation theory from science (the big bang theory isn't actually a creation theory, the universe existed before the big bang, it was just super-compressed), excluding all that, it's simple unreasonable to say that Jesus didn't exist, how much he actually did, and if he was actually the son of god is up for question, but his existance is pretty unquestionable.

By who's defination?  Everything I ever read from WOTC defines a combo as an interaction between 2 or more cards at the same time or sequence.  and thats it, I have never seen anything from them that it is only 2 colors or 3 cards or anything.

Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying that what you said is without merit, just I have never seen it supported.  but one thing that I have seen supported is that there are good combos and bad combos.  A good combo is fast, reliable, and powerful, which happens to be what you mention are combo requirements (other then uniquness).  So because its not fast or powerful this is not a good combo, but it is still a combo

Oh that was completely a joke. Pie was referencing the ridiculous notions carried by users at Essential Magic.com and i was merely doing the same. Why one earth would anyone legitimately think that those characteristics would be necessary for something to be a combo? I do highly encourage people to read comments on combos at Essential Magic though just for the sheer entertainment and comedic value of peoples opinions.

yeah I've read them before and it pisses me off, it seems nothing is postive and every other word is TINAC.  If people were so limited their wouldn't be any combos or any sort

The problem with essential magic is the rating system drives people to want to have high ratings for the profile so it turns into a competition. THey'll either post ratings that aren't deserved and then bug people to rate theirs, or people will be too scared to post their own combos in fear that they'll get a bad rating unless its truly awe-inspiring and life-changing. Not to mention most of the people who are consistently hating on combos are the ones who never post any themselves. But isn't life always that way?

i just have this uncanny knack of ignoring idiots (i swear idiocy is contageous).. just play the game the way you like and be happy with it :)

(as long as within the official wotc rules)

who cares how many cards it takes to make your combo, the most devestating combos that exist are usually 3-4 cards in sequence (usually has to be in order)... sometimes more (not always though)

it is nice to see other peoples input of your combos (that's why i post on here at all)... maybe they might have a suggestion to improve it... maybe not

i dont use many combos from other people (personal preference) but that doesnt make mine any better or worse than other peoples combos, though i will admit it is nice to see some of the other combos people use (and the effects)

i especially love to play against the people that like to think they are the best (regardless if they are or not)... simply because i like to show them that it isnt about how good at the game you are, it is how the game is played

point being... who cares how good someone is at the game... at the end of the day, they have no friends if they are not good people :D
