Subject: Crucible Orb- Eric Dawe
I have a three part combo, with one recent card and two older ones.
 
-Crucible of Worlds+Fastbond+Zuran Orb
 
Fastbond lets you play multiple lands a turn, Zuran Orb lets you sacrifice a land for 2 life, and Crucible of Worlds lets you play land cards from your graveyard as though they were in your hand, essentially returning the land to your hand, netting you one life and, assuming you tapped it before you sacrificed it, one mana.
It gets really neat really quick. Crucible costs 2, Fastbond costs 1, and the Orb is free, letting this combo get off by turn 2. Add a Treasure Trove and you draw your deck. With Memnarch, all your opponent's permanants become yours. That, comboed with Biorythm, equals a turn-2 win.
If you don't draw into a Treasure Trove, Future Sight can help you by ridding yourself of the top card of your library until you get it.
If you're fretting because you can't find Crucible of Worlds in any of your card lists, it was a player created card on magicthegathering.com and will show up in Fifth Dawn.
Well, I hoped this helped all the Johhnies of the world out there.
