THS/BNG: Combos

Here are some of my favorite combos that only utilize Theros cards:

• Akroan Hoplite + Cavalry Pegasus
• Shipwreck Singer/Meletis Charlatan + untap effects like Triton Tactics and Savage Surge
• Triad of Fates + Gray Merchant of Asphodel/Disciple of Phenax
• Triad of Fates + Portent of Betrayal (you draw the 2 cards if you exile the borrowed creature using the third ability)
• Deathbellow Minotaur + Dragon Mantle
• Spellheart Chimera + Steam Augury

And here are some of my favorite combos that utilize cards from Born of the Gods:

• God-Favored General + Cavalry Pegasus
• Kragma Butcher + Grisly Transformation
• Retraction Helix + untap effects like Triton Tactics and Breaching Hippocamp
• creatures with inspired + Black Oak of Odunos (and, to a lesser extent, Stratus Walk, Grisly Transformation, Aqueous Form, Fleetfeather Sandal, and Prowler’s Helm)
• Vortex Elemental + Noble Quarry
• Archetype of Finality + Lightning Volley

While the last 2 combos are pseudo-wrath effects, they require 2 Born of the Gods uncommons and so are more likely to come together in a BNG/BNG/BNG draft than in a BNG/THS/THS draft. They also require that a relatively fragile creature survive until you draw/play the other half of the combo. Finally, the Archetype of Finality + Lightning Volley combo requires playing cards that you might not play otherwise (especially if you’re playing an aggressive B/R Minotaurs deck) and requires having multiple creatures on the table for maximum potency.
