swamp = new mikaeus



have out the workhorse and mikaeus. remove all of the counters on workhorse for 3 colorless and then it returns to play with an additional +1/+1 counter on it. repeat for infinite mana.

Nice. It hasn't even been released yet and people are finding all kinds of combo uses with it.

yes, let's continue searching for counter removing creatures

   

     

Triskelion is best choice for combo. only two cards and instant death. all other need at last 3 cards, or are there any ideas?

remember that a sac engine is necessary for all of these

lol mikaeus  as a general. just fill the deck with cards that are easy to combo with him. He's about as good as a combo general as kraj or animar, except he's mono.

@Akinas86: Vish Kal is a sac engine himself, 1. remove all counters from him and then 2. sac himself for his first ability which does not resolve, but who cares. 3. repeat as much as you want. it just puts all creatures, even the idestructible ones  (which are allowed to be targeted by him) to graveyard.

@Starship

Nope! Ghave is the new combo general! Mikaeus is monocolred, and theres only a few combos you can do in his colors! Ghave has tons of combos, and lots of searching to find the necessary parts!

ghave is cool, but i still think kraj is best for combos.

Kraj requires tapping, which makes him too slow for efficient comboing, and he also doesnt have access to the best tutors in the game, which black does!

true, but kraj himself is a more important player in actual combos, plus simic has gilder bairn.

Gilder bairn is also slow and requires it to be tapped!

Ghave has so many cards that are ridiculously synergistic with him, whereas kraj only has a few!

don't forget that Mikaeus grants +1/+1 to non-humans, even workhorse would need something like

i agree that ghave is amazing as a general, combo or otherwise, but kraj is still good too.

you might want to look at this again... it gets +1 +1 AS WELL... so this needs a sac engine...

why does this need a sac engine? i'm pretty sure it doesn't.

Because mike gives all of your nonhumans +1/+1, so even when the counters are gone its a 1/1! You need a sac engine or a -1/-1er! Hence the heartless summoning!

Engineered Plague would be more humorous.

I find winning quickly with an infinite combo humorous! :D

Engineered Plague still makes it infinite. It's just ironic, because you hurt yourself to win!
