10 Insane Infinite Combos In Magic: The Gathering
2. Academy Rector + Kaervek’s Spite + Barren Glory
Finally moving away from infinite mana combos, which have made up everything on this list bar the infinite creature side-effect of the one at number 7, this black and white three-card combination allows for a potential insta-win.
While infinite mana might be more useful with less chance of being countered, there’s always the issue of actually being able to play things with your unholy amount of mana to actually win the game with. Instead, this relies on the effect of Barren Glory for an instant win, provided you can get rid of your hand and board.
Despite this being a 3-card combo, you only actually need 2 and should have shuffle and tuck effects at the ready as Barren Glory needs to be in your deck when you activate it. Using Kaervek Spike with an Academy Rector in play will get rid of all your permanents, your hand, and strip you for 5 life. Doing this before your upkeep will trigger Academy Rector and let you tutor out Barren Glory as your only permanent in play, making you win the game.
