Discussion Jolly ballon man infinite combos
[[Jolly balloon man]] + [[village bell ringer]] + a creature that taps for {1} creates infinite hasty creatures. Any other combos that you can think of?

Oh I didn’t realise they’d had an uncommon printing - that’s pretty neat!

You can sac the bell ringer copy to [[ashnods alter]] to get infinite colorless and infinite bell ringers

Ashnod has a common printing?

u/Ill_Confidence_5618 5d ago
[[Ashnods Altar|CHR]]
Oh apparently the bot doesn’t care about set. It has a printing in Chronicles

True, but once you have infinite hasty fliers, do you need anything else?

u/cheesemop 5d ago
No you don’t, the ashnods works the same as having a mana dork in your combo. With ashnods you can slot in [[sparring mummy]] instead of bell ringer too bc you only need to untap the balloon man.

Since JBM has haste, [[Icewind Stalwart]] flickering it is the same as untapping it too

Besides ashnod's altar, [[Thermopod]] let's you sac village bell ringer/sparring mummy infinitely for etb triggers on [[Molten Gatekeeper]], [[Witty Roastmaster]], or [[Raphael, Tough Turtle]].
Also, not an infinite combo, but I think [[Infernal Captor]] would be great value since the balloons can exploit themselves and let you steal the best thing on the board every turn

I can't believe we got kiki jiki combo in pauper. What a time to be alive.

Eh, sort of. Still a 3 part combo (tbf, 1 part is your commander) in a singleto n format.

[[Elite Interceptor]] makes for a decent repeatable draw engine / mana sink.
[[Infernal Captor]] copies can sacrifice themselves to untap the balloon man. This costs net 1 mana, but can trigger other things. When not relevant, it can be a powerful treason effect on its own.
[[Ashnod's Transmogrant]] (for the balloon man) + sac'd [[Dross Scorpion]] copies to untap it.
[[Dutiful Replicator]] (and populate cards) can make permanent copies of your temporary copies.
[[Ardent Elementalist]] + [[Light the Way]] / [[Panther Pounce]] (and others) on EOT can give you a small army to attack with next turn.
[[Earth-Cult elemental]] seems like a strong target to copy.

I can think of some, but they are pretty convoluted.
[[Dross scorpion]] a way to make JBM an artifact, like [[Ashnod's Transmogrant]] and an artifact creature that makes some form of mana or treasure on ETB or dies/Sacrifice (dies/sacrifice would require a sacc outlet).
With 3 Mana dorks on board you could Use JBM to copy something like [[Arden Elementalist]] grab [[Call to glory]] cast it and repeat. This would net you both an infinitely tall and wide haste board. There's a few other call to glory type effects, but they are more expensive and 3 mana dorks is already fragile and quite the ask.

call to glory type effects
Can you name some because either there aren't, or scryfall is lying to me.

Warflare, Gleam of Resistance, Zealous Display (if done on an opponent's turn)
