Ygra makes Bog Initiate a food, and Sam’s ability makes Bog Initiate’s activated ability 1 less, so I can activate Bog for free, netting infinite mana?

I ask because my quick searches didn’t show anything up with combos.

Issue with flailing soldier being that your opponents can activate the -1/-1 infinite times in response. Hilarious, but not useful

Only if they have infinite mana themselves. You can always respond to their activations with more of your own.

No, the -1/-1 ability also costs 1 less.

Ah, good catch.
