I won't tell you what my friend was doing with this combo, but it certainly made my eyes bugger.
Mesmeric Orb + Aphetto Alchemist.
Text for those of you who don't memorize every card ever.
Mesmeric Orb - 2
Artifact
Whenever a permanent untaps, it's owner puts the top card of their library into their graveyard.
Aphetto Alchemist - 1U
Wizard - 1/2
T: Untap target artifact or creature.
What it does is allow you to mill as much of your own deck as you want. Use the Alchemist's ability to target itself, thus you can infinitely mill yourself forever.
By itself it does nothing, but the simplicity and cheapness of this combo means that it could find a home in a deck that was built to abuse it.
I'm thinking now of things like Tight Sight or etc, etc. Maybe work it with a conjurer's bauble so that the bottom card of your library is a Beacon of Tomorrows, then mill your deck and take inifinite turns?
The real problem with all of this is that you'll still mill whatever tiny library you jury rig each time you untap stuff.
Anyway, see what you can do, guys. Let's turn this into a group project like that Bosh deck we made a year ago.
Post your combo ideas and we'll all find a consensus on the one we like most, then refine the deck from there.
