Surprised not to find Lich + Repay in Kind at least in the strong synergies category, as it can potentially take out the table. Would also be curious what else can combo with Lich to one-shot the table.
You would die to the last draw trigger unless you had LabMan or some sort of Stifle effect.

Please put the colors of your suggestion in mana symbols prior to your suggestion in color-wheel order. To do this, put any of W, U, B, R, G, and/or C, whatever is applicable, with the word 'mana' inside [square bracets] before and the word '/mana' inside [square bracets] after the mana.
If you have something that gives +1/+1 counters to creatures when they enter the battlefield, you can really abuse it's interaction with persist. Per the comprehensive rules:
121.3. If a permanent has both a +1/+1 counter and a -1/-1 counter on it, N +1/+1 and N -1/-1 counters are removed from it as a state-based action, where N is the smaller of the number of +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters on it. See rule 704.
The richest source of combos that abuse this rule that I've been able to find comes from the following:
UBSage of Fables + Puppeteer Clique + Sack outlet = Reanimate all opposing graveyards + Infinite SO benefits + Infinite ETB triggers
If the sack outlet in the above combo is Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar and you have Inalla, Archmage Ritualist as your commander, then you can kill the entire table by tapping down the copies generated by Inalla, or by attacking with the infinite hasty Puppeteer Clique army.
If you have something that lets you tap the puppeteer for benefit (Galecaster Colossus, Azami, Lady of Scrolls, etc) you can tap the Puppeteer before sacking it for additional value.
This a synergy, not a combo, since you can't go infinite (Marchesa's ability triggers on end step). This also gives your wizards pseudo-vigilance (attack with them, sac, and then they come back untapped on end step) and pseudo-regeneration (sac in response to whatever would kill the wizard, it comes back untapped on end step). The latter of these is particularly good in response to an opposing board wipe (or better yet, in response to your own!).
If you have Inalla, Archmage Ritualist and you do the sacrificing on the end step of the person immediately before your turn, you get to use all of the copies made by Inalla on your turn. <- I'm just wrong.
On top of this, Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign has some very good synergy with the Nexus version of the combo, as she lets you pull it off for only 2 per turn (4 on the first turn) and you don't lose your draw step redrawing the extra turn spell.
You can replace Omni for any combination of things that make infinite mana but that is the simplest one because once you play the enchantment and Cast Conflux you are off the races.
Krenko mob boss ashnods altar and umbral mantle tap krenko pay untap tap again once you get enough goblins untapping is free and get infinite goblins and mana if you have. makeshift munitions you can do infinite damage
Pitiless Plunderer and March of the Machines and either something to die or a Treasure already in play is an infinite loop that requires outside intervention to stop.
Add in a way to passively give all your creatures +1/+1 and the loop stops
Add in any way to give global haste and it then becomes a loop again however now you can control it infinite artifact / creature death triggers, creature artifact ETB triggers and infinite mana of the entire spectrum. Even a Lightning Greaves will work but that would be slow going
It's not Resto with Wispweaver, it's Felidar Guardian with either of them. Also Guardian with Phyrexian Metamorph, and with Aminatou, the Fateshifter. Basically, Felidar Guardian is an infinite combo all-star. Add in a Vela the Night-Clad instead of the Altar of the Brood for infinite LTB trigger damage.

Yeah, it's just an infinite engine that can facilitate wincons like Laboratory Maniac, Psychosis Crawler, Jace's Erasure, Psychic Corrosion, and Sphinx's Tutelage.

The richest source of combos that abuse this rule that I've been able to find comes from the following:
UB Sage of Fables + Puppeteer Clique + Sack outlet = Reanimate all opposing graveyards + Infinite SO benefits + Infinite ETB triggers
If the sack outlet in the above combo is Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar and you have Inalla, Archmage Ritualist as your commander, then you can kill the entire table by tapping down the copies generated by Inalla, or by attacking with the infinite hasty Puppeteer Clique army.
If you have something that lets you tap the puppeteer for benefit (Galecaster Colossus, Azami, Lady of Scrolls, etc) you can tap the Puppeteer before sacking it for additional value.
Similarly,
UBR Sage of Fables + Marchesa, the Black Rose + Any wizard with ETB + Sack outlet = Free ETB triggers on end step + whatever your SO gives you.
This a synergy, not a combo, since you can't go infinite (Marchesa's ability triggers on end step). This also gives your wizards pseudo-vigilance (attack with them, sac, and then they come back untapped on end step) and pseudo-regeneration (sac in response to whatever would kill the wizard, it comes back untapped on end step). The latter of these is particularly good in response to an opposing board wipe (or better yet, in response to your own!).
If you have Inalla, Archmage Ritualist and you do the sacrificing on the end step of the person immediately before your turn, you get to use all of the copies made by Inalla on your turn.<- I'm just wrong.Another take on the central idea:
UBRSage of Fables + Marchesa, the Black Rose + Siren Stormtamer = budget Glen Elendra Archmage.
Hellkite Charger + Aqueous Form + Bear Umbra = Infinite Attack Phases with Unblockable Combat Damage (also Infinite Scry 1)
My EDH Decks -
Aminatou + Delicate Guardian + Altar of the Brood = infinite mill.
Aminatou + Delicate Guardian + Panharmonicon = infinite mana
Estrid + The Chain Veil + enough mana rocks/lands enchanted to produce 4 mana = infinite PW triggers.
Saheeli + Mycosynth Lattice + Deepglow Skate = Infinite copies of all your permanents
This aint your girlfriends meta! This is a man's meta! TURBO META.
You can't use Restoration Angel with Wispweaver Angel.
