A combo for consideration

[neotrophy]

Energy Field (Not a bad card vs Oath or Colossus)
Wheel of Sun and Moon (Anti graveyard tech + combo)

While it's not exactly a game winner.  Taking no damage as a result of playing two otherwise useful cards seems like a pretty decent start.  Doesn't stop tendrils, but if you're playing against tendrils, you're probably targeting your opponent with wheel, and only stops time vault if they're out of ways to bounce something. 

It still seems like a pair of cards that could go together in some sort of fish deck though.

Basically this thread is to throw the idea out there and see if anyone thinks highly enough of it to construct a deck around it.


I think this could probably become another "what cards do you think are underplayed" type of thing, since unless I'm wrong, there's not a great deal of length in the main discussion.  So are there any other small combos that are underplayed?  Bear in mind that any 2 card combo that doesn't win the game immediately (time vault) and where both components don't stand on their own (Wheel + Field, I suggest) is not really worth considering.

Seems like a nice trick, but it's a two card combo that doesn't kill an opponent.
You won't win lots of games by not losing.

I think that not losing definitely has the potential to win some games.  Unfortunately less than one might expect with Time Vault being the win condition of choice.

It does seem like a neat trick.  It's definitely more along the lines of some of the stuff that you can do with a goblin welder than, say painter + grindstone.  If it weren't for the fact that both halves are quite useful on their own, I wouldn't have said anything.

Or Donate your Leyline of the Void and then play Energy Field! Sorry...

Actually I have thought Energy Field was potentially powerful for some time, but the fact that it is blue in this case is really the odd thing about it. If you play blue it is usually for blue's amazing draw engines and/or counterspells both of which often go directly to your graveyard. Perhaps that is OK. Play typical blue control with these both decent cards in. Do you just drop Wheel of Sun and Moon and Energy Field into existing deck shells. Seems odd to build a deck around a pure defensive combo...

Fleshing out a deck in this shell is tricky and could go many ways. Green, White, Blue. Lots of blue or splashing it?
Tarmo, Counterbalance, Top, ... Make it a hard lock?

What else works with Wheel of Sun and Moon??

Energy Field alone in SBs doesn't seem that terrible. ??? It's a surprise... These cards are perhaps a little too narrow, but each are playable in SBs and I guess why not in the same SBs, come in together, and rock out!?!

I preffer Platinum Angel + Robe Of Mirrors/Hannas Custody. They all work but cost lots of mana and doesnt kill your opponent.

Doomsday would love this card. Too bad it has to be played BEFORE Dday.
