Magic: The Gathering's Mishra, Eminent One leads to an infinite turn combo in Commander

sportskeeda.com:

It doesn’t take long for Magic: The Gathering players to find a horrifying, potentially overpowered combo. Especially if it is a way to take infinite turns and grind a game to a complete halt. This is thanks to Mishra, Eminent One, who was only revealed about 24 hours ago.

In a Commander deck with artifacts, he can easily take over the game, abuse the legendary rule, and take as many turns as he likes, as long as he has access to simply putting one more artifact into play. How does this work, anyway?

This particular combo is easy to set up, considering any deck that stars Mishra, Eminent One is going to be filled with artifacts in Magic: The Gathering. Depending on how much mana ramping you have access to, this could begin triggering around turn 5 or so. It’s also worth noting that this is likely only going to happen in Commander.

So, what’s going on in this combo? Mishra, Eminent One is a legendary we recently discussed that leans heavily into the power of artifact creatures. When combat rolls around, he can take a noncreature artifact, and make a copy of it named “Mishra’s Warform”. This token is a 4/4, has haste, and is an artifact creature.

Prid3 on Reddit revealed this rather unorthodox Magic: The Gathering combo. Now, it is a “conditional” infinite, not a true infinite. It relies on you being able to make, create, summon, or clone at least one artifact that turn.

You need Mishra, Eminent One, Gonti’s Aether Heart, and any other way to create artifacts. Saheeli, Karn, Daretti, Emry, whatever source you have. There are so many ways to create free artifact creatures in the game.

When combat comes around, target Gonti’s Aether Heart. Since this copy is “Mishra’s Warform”, it’s not going to worry about the legendary rule.
