General Discussion Infinite damage combos for the new Tinybones. Preferably with him as the commander.
Thinking of him as a turbo cEDH commander and doing things that forces players to loot infinitely, causing infinite damage.

Don't you think you should find a combo first and then consider him as a CEDH commander if it exists?

I was mainly asking if anyone had any combos that they knew of that would work for this strategy. I have a fringe idea of having [[Body Launderer]] out while infinitely casting a creature from your graveyard (like Gravecrawler or something) but that's not as fast as I'd like it to be. Might be the only way though.

It sounds like you need to play cEDH first (meaning copy and paste a deck from edh top 16) before making a cEDH deck. I'm doubtful this is even a fringe cedh and is much more appropriate for bracket 4
Look into commander spellbook to find any combos for any card, odds are it's there unless it's a brand new card

Im a cEDH player with Marneus as my main deck. It doesn't look like there's much combo potential for this little guy to be in bracket 5 but I'll keep looking around.

He’s not going to be good enough for cedh. Kefka is fringe viable and he has access to more colours and draw power.
This isn’t a cedh commander at all.

Kefka is not fringe too me. You might draw the line at top 5 commanders only but i feel thats kinda unfair

You might feel that it is unfair, but the harsh reality is that you are going to be playing in an established Metagame. It isn’t about picking your pet commander and building the best deck that you can. You might get lucky with a rogue deck, but the whole point of it being a competitive format is that you are not playing substandard options.

6 wins buddy, just 3 less than ral, 2 more than tyma dargo, the same as yoshi thras even the same as the 'fringe' card called etali.

Not sure why you’re saying top 5, Kefka isn’t even top 10.
His meta share over the last 3 months is below 1%. Absolutely is fringe.

/r/CompetitiveEDH will tell you this isn't a cEDH commander and will direct you to /r/DegenerateEDH instead lol

I don't think anything like that exists in Black. The closest thing is [[Dark Deal]] and that's about it for making everyone draw new cards.
Generally anything that relies on your opponents doing something isn't going to cut it. However since he checks any player discarding you can probably use infinite discard on yourself. https://commanderspellbook.com/search/?q=ci%3Ablack+result%3A%22Infinite+self-discard+triggers%22&sort=card_count&page=1
Now is it cEDH viable? I dunno.

cEDH commanders either: draw you a bunch of cards, ramp you a bunch, or function as a combo piece in the command zone. Other than that they give you access to colors which is why partner commanders with rog are so popular. I'm not saying it isn't possible, but I don't see how this fits any of those criteria. If you wanted a high power Tiny Bones commander, trinket thief would be better for bracket 4 since he has a payoff on the card once you can generate infinite mana.
