I searched for Doran combos and I didn\'t  find any that were using the en-Kor so forgive me if this has been listed else where.

This is actually a 3 card combo with 12 different ways to get to the punch but I didn\'t list all of the en-Kor cards for the sake of brevity.

The combo goes something like this- Target either Angelic Protector or Task Force with an en-Kor\'s {0} ability (they all have the same ability so which one you use makes no difference) repeat some huge amount of times such as a billion. You now have a 1 / 3Billion. With Doran\'s passive it swings for its toughness and your opponent weeps.

Add trample and this will carry through!

I more prefer the "about face/en-Kor" combos http://www.mtgcombos.com/view.php?fid=2&tid=48625

But Doran makes it more repeatable.

I like the About Face / en-Kor combo too and it has its advantages over this one but this one also has advantages over About Face so I thought I'd put it out there.

My two major problems with About Face / en-Kor are: lack of repeatability if someone Fogs; and susceptibility to Bolt since I don't run Shaman en-Kor. I know the lack of the Shaman is my fault and I may remedy that, but I guess I am just being unfair to the combo.

The two major advantages of using about face is that: it can be built in two colors instead of three making the mana base easier to build; and everything happens at instant speed so your opponent needs to block every time instead of just if Doran is out.

Both combos get super silly if you add trample or if you use Lure on the en-Kor or use a lure creature to make sure your big swinger gets through.

As a note to anyone who has About Face / en-Kor built in white red and only uses red for About Face or About Face and Inside Out if they like redundancy: you may want to check out Twisted Image and switch to white blue.
