To celebrate the upcoming Final Fantasy release, we’re breaking down a combo that can do everything – infinite damage, infinite mana, infinite mill, and more! This is one combo that truly lives up to the Final Fantasy legacy of over-the-top power.
The Core Combo
You’ll need on the battlefield:
- Celes, Rune Knight
- Goblin Bombardment
- Murderous Redcap (or any creature with Persist)
No additional mana required!
- Sacrifice Murderous Redcap to Goblin Bombardment, dealing 1 damage to any target
- Redcap’s Persist returns it with a -1/-1 counter
- Celes triggers, adding a +1/+1 counter to each creature you control
- The +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters cancel out
- Redcap’s ETB ability resolves, dealing 2 damage to any target
- Repeat the loop for infinite damage and infinite ETB/death triggers
Upgrade Your Combo
Why stop at damage? Swap Goblin Bombardment for:
Ashnod’s Altar gives you infinite colorless mana
Phyrexian Altar will give you infinite colored mana
Altar of Dementia will mill opponents out instantly
Or try different creatures:
Puppeteer Clique: Steal every creature from opponents’ graveyards
Harvester of Souls: Draw your entire deck
Grave Pact: Force opponents to sacrifice their board
