I totally can't figure out what Mindslaver / Donate / Auriok Transfixer / Ashnod's Coupon is supposed to do.

But I e-mailed this in instead...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have no idea what the Mindslaver / Donate / Auriok Transfixer / Ashnod's Coupon combo does, but here's one that's more fun:
Mindslaver + 2x Arcbound Reclaimer + Arcbound Overseer + Magus of the Unseen + Donate + Ashnod's Coupon

Here's the premise:
According to the errata on Ashnod's Coupon, the controller of the Coupon pays any costs for the drink.
Donate Magus of the Unseen to your opponent.
The Arcbound Reclaimer / Arcbound Overseer / Mindslaver combo gets you your Mindslaver back every turn (and is a combo of its own right).
Every turn, use the Arcbound Reclaimers to get your Ashnod's Coupon and your Mindslaver back from the graveyard, and replay them. (The Reclaimers will constantly be replenished by the Overseer.) You can sub in an Argivian Archeologist or Hanna, Ship's Navigator for a Reclaimer if you like, by the way. Every turn, activate the Mindslaver.
Force your opponent to take control of the Coupon with Magus of the Unseen, and force him to activate it. Decide that you'll be forced to get some drink or another. Since HE controls the Coupon, HE has to pay the cost of it!
Repeat ad nauseum, until your opponent either runs out of cash or concedes in fear of his poor, abused wallet. :D

The combo is quite elegant, actually. The transfixer keeps the Coupon tapped while you hand it over, then the opponent cannot use it on you until you are ready for it. On the opponent's turn, you use the mindslaver and then use the coupon. They still have to pay for it, but you get the drink. Wonderful!

i dunno about that sefro...the wording on the card says target player gets you target drink...they pay for the drink..but they still get the drink....of course with mindslaver you can make them buy themselves some crazy thing... like a glass of LSD...while the cops arrest him for possesion or 1000 dollar a bottle spirits. pretty funny. good times...

Yeah, the transfixer taps the artifact down on the turn you play Mindslaver so that they won't use it in response. You donate the coupon, then mindslaver them, then you are off to the races. Since they pay for all costs of the drink, you can make them choose a really expensive drink. Ha ha!
