Based on all the great posts about type 4 I've built my own stack.

My deck is sleeveless and made with lots of commons and uncommons.

I'm looking for good cheap infinite combos with two cards or more.

So far i've only got:
"Combat medic" with "brothers of fire"
and
"horseshoe crab" with "Fire Whip"

What else? Thanks

There's a lot of them out there.  Glarecaster Masticore is the big one, obviously. 

Knacksaw Clique and Crowd Favorites.

Sneak Attack and Arcanis.

It's not infinite, but Riptide Shapeshifter for Chainer is really good.  Riptide Shapeshifter with Nizumi Graverobber is infinite, and retardedly powerful.

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, Volcanic Dragon is basically a junk rare and does the same thing. Silklash Spider isn't quite the same, but still gets the job done.

I think it's Vampiric Dragon and not Volcanic. No biggie.

Aladdin's Lamp + Beacon of Tomorrows is always funny. Dollar rares both.

Sneak Attack is like combo central, works too well with Hoverguard Sweepers and Arcanis and a whole bunch of stuff. Chainer is too.

A quirky favorite of mine is Spike Hatcher + Rings of Brighthearth. Not truly instant kill, but cute.

Yeah, I was thinking of Vampiric.

Man, it's been forever since I've played.

Another really funny infinite combo is Morselhoarder, Sinking Feeling, and something that grants a tap effect like Fire Whip or Presence of Gond.

Izzet Guildmage works. All of the shadowmoor untappers are good. Fling/Grab the Reigns and firebreathing walls take more effort then just including regular fire breathers. Flickering Spirit and anything that triggers with comes into play abilities (soul warden, etc). Nezumi Graverobber and a mogg fanatic. Quillspike and any of the -1/-1 counter guys ala Barrenton medic. Hoof skulkin and a green creature. Mirrorwood treefolk is a budget replacement for glarecaster, so is that new mare from eventide or the weird mogg from tempest.  The thing is, most of the rares that go into a type 4 stack are a dollar or less if you're shopping online. Unless you just really want it to be all commons and uncommons, it's worth it to shell out 20 bucks to qualify for free shipping and just pick up some of the fun rares.

One of my favourite cheap near-infinite combos with commons out there is Bramble Elemental plus Whip Silk.
Yeah, I know, it possible to do something better with recent commons from Lorwyn/Shadowmoor block but this is sapprolings not elfs.  Wink

Moarsel Hoarder + Sinking Feeling + Power of Fire (PING!) or Presence of Gond (Elf token).
Truely infinite as long as no one gets rid of one of the pieces, but I prefer sapproling tokens.

Fist of Suns and Searing Touch
Any library searcher like Wild Research and Infernal Spawn of Infernal Spawn of Evil
Armistice and Beacon of Destruction
Minion Reflector and Metathran Aerostat

There are plenty more out there and most of them are cheap $$ wise.

I've found a new one on a site I was surfing on.

Eye of tempest + say, Bituminous blast, but any cascade instant or sorcery is worth the thing.

The trick is to cast the cascade spell with eye of tempest on board (on the battlefield Wink ) and let the thing start. The cascade ability triggers, you reveal cards till a "cascade"-able sorcery or instant, which will trigger eye of tempest, and relaunch the cascade spell. Unfortunately, Bituminous can't target players so, it will quickly run out of targets, and the other cascade sorcery is captured sunlight, which has only a cc of 4.

In a Sunforger stack, may be ?

Mischievous Quanar + Searing Wind.

Somebody tell Chapin how counterbalance works?
