Forest = Hunger of the Howlpack
Island = Snapcaster Mage

Basically, sacrifice or let die one of your (or opponent's) little creatures, and have the 4 mana necessary available. You need 1GGU. When a creature dies, cast Hunger for G, and put 3 (due to the Morbid) +1/+1 counters on your creature that you want to get big, then cast the Snapcaster for 1U, giving your Hunger flashback till the end of turn, flash it back for G and give 3 more +1/+1 counters to your creature. More of synergy than combo, but 6 +1/+1 counters for 4 mana aint too shabby in my mind.

You can always then use a Saving Grasp to return the Snapacster back to your hand, waiting to do it all over with another spell.

My only comment is you're paying 4 mana for 6 +1/+1 counters that requires two cards, two colors, and morbid to be activated. You might as well just be using Increasing Savagery. Its only one card, less color intensive, and doesn't require morbid, which is well worth only getting 5 +1/+1 counters.

While that is true, this synergy was one I discovered at the prerelease tourney, and having not gotten Increasing Savagery, was all I had to work with. All that aside, one thing about my combo is it can be done on your opponent's turn, while Increasing Savagery is a sorcery.

That seems legit.
