hey everyone...been playing a Teneb EDH deck for almost a year now, and its come to the point where I'm finally comfortable throwing it onto the forum for everyone's critique. The deck is full of stupid combos, both infinite and non-infinite.
COMBOS:
Nim Deathmantle + Phyrexian Altar + Woodfall Primus/Primeval Titan/Terastodon/Archon of Justice/Duplicant/Eternal Witness/Karmic Guide/Massacre Wurm/Puppeteer Clique/Sun Titan = 3: CIP/Leaves Play ability. If I need to explain why this is good, maybe this deck just isn't for you...
Nether Traitor + Genesis Chamber + Phyrexian Altar = Infinite mana and infinite creatures. With Chamber and Altar out, play Nether Traitor. With Genesis Chamber's trigger on the stack, sacrifice Traitor to Altar for B. Allow Chamber's trigger to go off, returning Nether Traitor to play. Rinse and repeat, netting a 1/1 artifact creature (Myr). With infinite tokens, sac all for infinite mana. This leads to infinite Geth, infinite combo listed above, infinite Genesis Wave (split the Eldrazi 1 battlefield 1 graveyard so you don't deck yourself), etc.
Phyrexian Altar + Eternal Witness + Living Death + at least 4 other creatures = Infinite Living Death and infinite CIP/Leaves play triggers as above. This also allows infinite mana, and works especially well with Woodfall Primus or Terastodon blowing up everyone else's permanents while Duplicant removes everyone's creatures from the game, allowing you to alpha strike. Cast Living Death, sacrificing all your creatures to Phyrexian Altar, producing 5+ mana, at least 2 of which is black. When the creatures come back in, Eternal Witness returns Living Death to your hand, ready to rinse and repeat.
Tooth and Nail: this card is a 1 card combo all by itself, much like Survival. Possible Tooth and Nail targets include:
Karmic Guide/Reveillark (best with a sac outlet out): This combo wreaks havoc in decks like this, allowing you to return at minimum 1 creature of choice every turn. This works amazingly with a Necrotic Sliver in the 'yard, as a vindicate every turn is VERY much worth playing.
Pestilence Demon/Vigor: With all the ways you have to return Vigor to play, this combo is basically Plague Wind + B: Put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
Ulamog/Kozilek: Brutal all by themselves, this combo is the Legion of Doom in this EDH deck.
Juniper Order Ranger + Woodfall Primus/Puppeteer Clique: Persist and +1/+1 counters...how is this fair? Sacrifice the Primus, allowing its persist trigger to put a -1/-1 counter on it, while Juniper Order Ranger puts a +1/+1 on it, negating the -1/-1, and putting a +1/+1 counter on the Ranger. Meanwhile, Primus repeatedly wreaks havoc on noncreature permanents. Puppeteer Clique just takes all those goodies in people's graveyards, and either allows for infinite triggers on them (steal with Clique, sac to Altar/Plaguelord, sac Clique, steal creature again, negate counters), or big-time swings on each player with their own creatures.
There are other combos in here, but I'll leave them for you to find. Any suggestions? Criticism/critique is welcomed and expected.
