Boonweaver Giant + gift of immortality makes infinite mana with Altar. best part is you don't even need gift in your hand to combo. play Giant, search for gift make arbitrary amounts of mana.
I don't think that works. He comes back at the beginning of the next end step. If you sac him during the end step, he won't be around until the NEXT end step.
If you have Ashnod's Altar and use Avacyn's Collar you can cause infinite token deaths, so with something like Unruly Mob or Ninth Bridge Patrol you can make infinitely large creatures, or alternatively something like Blood Artist will let you gain infinite life/ do infinite damage. Also causes any "enter the battlefield" effects to proc. Overall a pretty easy and versatile combo.
Not with Avacyn's Collar unless you have Conspiracy or Xenograft to go with it.
Requiem Angel does the same, but only with Conspiracy.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

I'm about to build a Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis deck, and when scouring the net for ideas (besides total group hug, not a fan) I stumbled on a lot of landfall decks for these guys and that peaked my interest, then I saw a combo that involved Ashnod's Altar + Patron of the Moon + Meloku the Clouded Mirror for infinite landfall triggers & 1/1 flying spirit tokens & mana.

Breya, etherium shaper, eldrazi displacer and ashnod's altar is infinite mana/damage. Cast Breya, sac the 2 tokens to altar, generate 4 colorless, use 3 to activate displacer, blinking breya and getting back 2 tokens. You net 1 colorless each activation. Then once you have infinite mana, start using the tokens to deal 3 damage and blink breya to get back tokens.
Everyone has missed a MAJOR part of why it's great:
It's a mana ability - and those generally happen so fast that they're unstoppable. Even by Split Second - and that's important. If someone uses Krosan grip on your stuff and you've got the altar out, you might not be boned. If you couple the altar with something that has useful 'dies' triggers - like Corpse Augur or Reveillark you can allow their triggers to resolve (since they're not ACTIVATED abilities) and get value or potentially even combo out with other triggered abilities (lark+karmic guide, augur+lab maniac) and win with someone else's split second card on the stack.
The few times I've pulled this off, the look on their face is priceless.
It takes a little bit of putting together, but I use an Ashnod's Altar in my Talrand, Sky Summoner EDH with Isochron Scepter and untap effects, basically you get a Drake every Isochron activation which you sac to Altar to activate Isochron again - you net whatever effect the imprinted spell has and +1 on the Storm/Prowess counter with every loop. Like I said, it's a bit rare to see all those parts in sync but everything involved has good effect by itself, so I feel justified running it

Requiem Angel does the same, but only with Conspiracy.
On phasing:
It does and here is sequencing. In play Ashnods Altar.
Step 1. play Boonweaver Giant
step 2. Boonweaver Giant activates, getting Gift of Immortality from your library and attaching it to Boonweaver Giant.
Step 3. Sacrifice Boonweaver Giant to Ashnods Altar generating 2 colorless mana.
Step 4. when Boonweaver Giant dies Gift of Immortality triggers, returning Boonweaver Giant to the battlefield. Boonweaver Giant triggers searching your hand, Graveyard or library for an Aura card and attach it to Boonweaver Giant. Pull Gift of immortality from the graveyard to the battlefield attached to Boonweaver Giant.
repeat steps 3 and 4 netting 2 colorless mana each time you do it. on the final time you can grab any Aura you want from your library, hand or graveyard and at the begining of the end step Gift of Immortality will still return for more shenanigans next turn.
Ha! I'm dumb, and forgot to RTFC. Thanks mate!
