Going infinite with Linessa, Zephyr Mage is probably the only time people have been happy when I combo'ed out
Have Isochron Scepter on the battlefield, imprinting Dramatic Reversal. Use this with a couple mana rocks (the deck ran like 20) to get infinite mana. Then cast Linessa, Zephyr Mage from the command zone, and then a Clone effect, keeping the cloned Linessa. Cast Codex Shredder, use it's ability to recur Linessa to your hand and then discard her to the clone triggering grandeur. Cast Salvaging Station to recur your Codex Shredder, sac it to get back Linessa, discard her, untap Salvaging Station with Scepter, repeat until opponents have no non-planeswalker permanents on the table and repeat the loop at instant speed whenever they play anything else while beating them to death with your cloned Linessa if they didn't scoop already
...don't want to burst your bubble, but infinite Dramatic Reversal + a Codex Shredder also wins the game - saves you a lot of extra effort
I know, realized this the second time I combo'ed off ^^
Less fun that way tho

Tap seven lands for mana and bounce them to your hand with Words to replace the Damia upkeep trigger, forcing your opponents to bounce seven permanents of their own, then replay those lands during your end step with Manabond. Repeat until your opponents get sick of your antics.
Also, has anyone ever noticed that the guy getting blasted with pages in Words of Wind looks like Ernest Borgnine?
They don't need to enter untapped. You can activate Words of Wind in response to Damia's trigger (in fact, you have to), at which point you've already untapped.
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've been improving the quality/speed of my grixis goblin charbelcher edh deck. While it falls in the category of 2-card-combos, it can't instantly kill an entire table. Even with some untap effects, the first activation may leave me vulnerable to a plethora of removal. My color choice also makes it impossible to recover the belcher from exile.
The combo is pretty whimsical but if it's parts are not countered, and no threat of krosan grip, I can just pass the turn holding up a 'belcher activation. That sensation of a loaded gun + itchy trigger finger passing makes for hilarious games.
especially funny after a cyclonic rift and everyone is tapped out from recasting their stuff. It's definitely not competitively playable, but it's got hilarious jank written all over it. I made a deck around it after somebody complained I took too many turns with my monoblue deck. So I made a deck I'd take less turns than everyone else just to spite him. Good times.

My friend won a game with some ridiculous 4-5 card combo that triggered Battle of Wits. To this day, he won't tell me how he did it, so if anyone has a clue, let me know.
I know it was a 5 color deck with Atogatog as the general, not sure if relevant.

Assuming "from outside the game" cards are okay
Have Leyline of Singularity, Battle of Wits and Spawnsire of Ulamog in play, use Spawnsire's ability to grab ~300 Blisterpod (any cheap Eldrazi you can buy a few hundreds of will do) and 2 Kozilek, Butcher of Truth (any eldrazi that shuffles into your graveyard into your library will do). Legend rule happens to the Blisterpods (and one Kozilek) due to leyline and after you put the cards in your graveyard they shuffle into your library due to Kozilek's trigger, and voila, now you have a 300+ card deck and Battle of Wits will trigger in your upkeep. You can skip leyline as well if you're willing to buy that many legendary eldrazi.

Without questioning the legality of this (anyone?), I do remember one thing: a combo piece was pili-Pala. So this may not be it.
Step 1: All of the above cards must be on the battlefield except Veilborn Ghoul who is in hand.
Step 2: Activate, sac, then copy Korlash, Heir of Blackblade with the Mirrorpool. Keep the token copy around and let the actual one go to the graveyard.
Step 3: Pay and activate Tortured Existence and discard Veilborn Ghoul in order to return Korlash, Heir of Blackblade to your hand.
Step 4: Discard Korlash, Heir of Blackblade from your hand to the graveyard by activating his token counterpart's Grandeur ability in order to bring in two swamps from your library into play tapped.
Step 5: Because two Swamps entered the battlefield, return Veilborn Ghoul to your hand.
Step 6: Amulet of Vigor untaps the two swamps.
Step 7: Rinse and repeat steps 3-7 until your library has no more swamps or until you have satisfied that Gravestorm count with the remaining available mana you have from untapped swamps.
Assuming the stars align, this go off as soon as Turn 6. Earlier with acceleration.
My opponent plays Reforge the Soul, which made me lose.... ALMOST!
Before my draw I used Dralnu and played Learn from the Past and could happily swing with my army of undead.
Paradox Engine, Remand, isochron scepter, and any 2+ mana rock.
Paradox Engine is quickly becoming my favorite card. There really isn't anything you can do with it that doesn't get out of control pretty fast.
Again, not really janky. Paradox Engine is clearly bonkers to anyone who reads it, and Scepter is ridiculously strong as well. Remand isn't the greatest counterspell in the world, but it's certainly playable in control-heavy deck or decks that can't reliably afford things like the triple-blue for Cryptic.
When a permanent phases out, all permanents attached to it phase out indirectly. When a permanent phases in, all permanents that phased out indirectly with it phase in indirectly. Tokens do not phase in. The equipment attached to the Battlemaster token will phase out, and never come back.
Well I'm not sure about "not being mad", but I built a Shared Fate deck. So rather than drawing cards from your deck, you play off other peoples. Its almost impossible to pull off a win, but I managed to do it with no cards in hand and no cards in library for the rest of the game, as I had exiled my library with Demonic Consultation.

The cool thing about this combo is, it has three parts, none of which can be a commander. And you still need a spout, i.e. a card that turns "infinite something that doesn't normally matter" into a win condition. Since my current landfall deck is Kynaios and Tiro, and we're already being janky af, the spout will be Grazing Gladehart, Searing Meditation, and Amulet of Vigor, though there are plenty of one-card spouts (Emeria Angel, Rampaging Baloths, Lotus Cobra+Comet Storm, Amulet of Vigor+Comet Storm, Omnath, Locus of Rage, Akoum Hellkite, Emeria Shepherd).
The other cool thing about it is, there are plenty of "fair" cards (lairs, original karoos) that don't go infinite.
Words of Wilding + Mentor of the Meek + Cryptolith Rite + Parallel Lives = infinite bears!
On phasing:

Darn you, now I will have to try this.

For the curious people... I had 38 2/2 zombies.

I once read about a Battle of Wits combo with Research // Development and Isochron Scepter. With infinite mana and infinite untaps, you can add as many cards to your deck as you want.
I think this IS the essence of this thread, too cool man.

Bludgeon Brawl: make all noncreature artifacts into equipment
Vulshok Battlemaster: attach all equipment (including your opponents') to your creature
Grab everything from Mountain to Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker and swing it at your opponent's face.
Add Golem-Skin Gauntlets to make the equipped lands mean something.
Add Soul Sculptor to equip creatures to your creature. Grab both Nicol Bolas and Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker by their tails and beat face.
And, for the coup de grâce:
Create a token copy of Battlemaster (Heat Shimmer, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, etc.), and then phase the token out (Reality Ripple, Teferi's Veil, etc.)
When a permanent phases out, all permanents attached to it phase out indirectly. When a permanent phases in, all permanents that phased out indirectly with it phase in indirectly. Tokens do not phase in. The equipment attached to the Battlemaster token will phase out, and never come back.
