The standard pairing that's popular now is Ugin/Eldrazi, for some tentacles on dragon one sided board clearing.

On a cooler note, we now have a full spoiler of an unreleased set made by one of Garfield's friends from early in Magic. It's pretty interesting to look over some of the ideas sitting about in it.

Perfect land to go infinite, yeah. Didn't some blue card get banned after making it into a commander product due to letting you draw infinitely? (You know, for whatever bans mean in Commander.)

Glad to see "Blue gets access to everything as long as you flavor it as water or thinking" was alive even back then.

Though really the mechanical separation between colors seems to have been mostly keywords and which colors are referenced.

Yeah, Trade Secrets has a serious collusion factor. As long as one other opponent is also in the business of drawing cards, you've got non stop draw. And because it's up to 4, you don't have to deck yourself.

There's also a white red one from what I've seen so far. Probably every enemy pairing has it.

It's more like "any colour can do anything for no particular reason". It looks like Wizards really did use all the actual cards in the set, the rest are complete nonsense

:agreed:. Just make sure both players have this active (since your opponent has to be alive) and cause an interminable infinite loop (but not day of the dragons or worldgorger dragon for obvious reasons) so you can't be forced to play to slow play rules.

The one that was recommended to me was Caged Sun + March of the Machines + Conspiracy naming Saproling + Life from Limb.

It means extra cool and awesome with an added vulnerability to a white hate card called Holy Water. I'm seriously seeing no upsides aside from the implied cool factor anywhere.

So it's a lot like Snow then, as this is basically how Snow was back in Ice Age.
