{Curse of Exhaustion} and {possibility storm}

This is absolutely ridiculous. "I'm sorry, you wanted to cast spells this game?"

That's pretty sexy i might try it out

I tried this with my mazes end win. It was pretty hilarious when I made top 8 out of 36 people lol

I must be dumb. I keep seeing the  {Curse of Exhaustion}  {Possibility Storm} combo but I don't get it

Basically, the curse of exhaustion limits them to one spell per turn. The the possibility storm always counters that one spell. Therefore wasting their one spell. Since the effect of possibility storm allows you to cast another spell the curses effect negates the next casting.

In other words they can't cast spells ...

I think that's it but I could be wrong

Yes exactly it the opponent can only play lands from that point or graveyard.

Would miracle cards still be able to be cast?
Ex:  {Devastation Tide}

Nope. Even alternate costs still require you to cast the spell.

Is it considered casting from your hand though?

Yes, it's triggered when you draw it (draw = put into your hand from your library). To actually cast from your library, you'll need something funky like {Galvanoth}.

In standard:  {Malignus} +  {Inquisitor's Flail}

That's a fun one! I like malignus. {Rush of Blood} works too (then {Fling} :P)

What I would do with that is add a Death's Presence.

{Enter the Infinite} + {Laboratory Maniac}

Have some negates and cancels ready to use though because you need to protect your creature, otherwise your done. But it's a quick win though ;)

Not sure with the CMC of {enter the infinite} I would consider this a quick win....
