With many MTG players expecting a Planeswalker-filled Superfriends deck, the Multiverse Reforged precon was a total surprise. Offering a unique Polymorph-focused game plan, this deck is flavorfully built around Jace’s multiverse meddling and character creating. Not only has this theme given us plenty of interesting new multiverse-swapped legends, but it also contains a wild infinite combo, too.
MTG Multiverse Reforged Infinite Combo
Ideally, all you need to do to go infinite with the Multiverse Reforged precon is cast
Dack Fayden, Helping Hand
Dack Fayden, Helping Hand
When Dack Fayden enters, reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal X creature cards, where X is the number of opponents you have. Put those creature cards onto the battlefield, then shuffle. They're goaded for the rest of the game. For each of those permanents, choose a different opponent. Each opponent gains control of the permanent for which they were chosen.
. Essentially, Dack digs through your deck till you find three creatures, which get cheated into play, then given to your opponents. Considering the Multiverse Reforged precon only contains powerful creatures, it’s very hard to go wrong here.
If you get lucky, however, finding
Venser, Fervent Forger

Flash
When Venser enters, choose one —
• Copy target instant or sorcery spell an opponent controls twice. You may choose new targets for the copies.
• Create two tokens that are copies of target permanent an opponent controls. They gain haste. At the beginning of the next end step, sacrifice them.
should win you the game outright. Since Dack’s ability gives you any enters abilities before the creatures are handed off, you can put Venser’s token-creating ability on the stack. After this, Dack’s donation ability will be put on the stack, giving Venser away and making it a target for its own ability.
Since Venser’s ability can now create two token copies of itself, you can always use one token to copy Venser, while another nabs anything else. While all but one Venser token will die due to the legend rule, this still lets you build an infinitely large board. Notably, if you also find
Archon of Cruelty

Flying
Whenever this creature enters or attacks, target opponent sacrifices a creature or planeswalker of their choice, discards a card, and loses 3 life. You draw a card and gain 3 life.
in your digging with Dack, you can make copies of that to kill each opponent outright.
Sadly, while this is technically a one-card combo, since you only need to cast Dack Fayden, Helping Hand, the odds of this happening aren’t great. With 17 other creatures in the Multiverse Reforged precon, you only have a roughly 17% chance of finding Venser. Thankfully, you can make this combo slightly more reliable using

One to Watch Out For
Unfortunately, even with these cards providing some added redundancy, hitting this combo is far from guaranteed. It doesn’t help that

+1: Draw two cards, then put a card from your hand on the bottom of your library.
−3: Exile another target planeswalker or creature you control. Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a creature or planeswalker card. Put that card onto the battlefield and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
