OMG this totally made me wanna play him (missing a Mono black general in my collection of EDH decks).
He's a Master Breeder (sounds like something else, lol).
Was scratching my head for a unique mono black general
Wispweaver Angel + any Clone variant except Phantasmal Image = infinite ETB
(clone copies the angel, targets the angel, angel comes back targets the clone, rinse and repeat)
With Chandra untapped and enchanted with dual casting, her controller casts a red spell, Chandra has an untap trigger that will go on the stack. The player can respond to this trigger by tapping her using the enchantments ability to copy the spell on the stack. She will untap, and be available to copy that same spell a second time.
.. I've been researching for some time trying to make it infinite and still playable
Sorry to break your heart. Copy a spell and cast a spell are 2 different things. It does not work.
Update: Okay, I think I might have misread what you mean. For you to get 2 free copies of the original spell, yes it work. But it won't go infinite based on these 2 cards.
"10/4/2004 You can't use the Library of Leng ability to place a discarded card on top of your library when you discard a card as a cost, because costs aren't effects."
Ruling on Library of Leng.
Anyway, I'll add the one that everyone's all excited about in Oath:
Pay 2<> to flicker the creature. ETB trigger makes 3 Spawn/Scions. Sac the Spawn/Scions for <><><>. (The mana is colorless and can be spent on said cost.)
Infinitely flickers the other creature and causes death triggers. This can be used to, say, trigger Blood Artist or Altar of the Brood.
This new guy combos with a gazilion things (will exclude what you mentioned)
Eldrazi Displacer + any creature etb with 2 tokens + Ashnod's Altar = infinite flickers, colorless mana.
Add in Phyrexian Altar/Earthcraft to get infinite colored mana
Various ways to kill such as Bitter Ordeal, Purphoros, Impact Tremors.
Parallel Lives/Doubling Season can also make it go bongkerz and you can start using Goblin Bombardment/Blasting Station to kill as well.
This guy just screams infinite all over the place.
Couple mentions ....
Also, I didn't see mention of what is probably the most efficient infinite combo in all of MtG: Time Vault + Voltaic Key. Granted, this is in Vintage, but ... from only two cards, infinite turns on turn two! With decent mana acceleration in your hand (e.g., Mishra's Workshop and a Lotus Petal), you could easily go infinite turn one.
Time Vault is banned in EDH.
I almost bought one till I told the buyer that I wanna use it for EDH and he mentioned it is banned.
With the new Emeria Shepherd and Parallax Tide, there's a combo for infinite mana, as well as infinite triggers to put non-land permanents from your graveyard to your hand or to the battlefield (although you need more than one plains in play to get other permanents directly onto the battlefield, you can use your infinite mana to cast them from you hand anyway.)
It also lets you flicker any of your opponent's lands any number of times you wish, which can be useful if they come into play tapped.
Was excited initially reading your posting but I realized it doesn't work. Parallax Tide only dies at beginning of upkeep check.

That's a lot of pieces for a combo.
While it's legit, but Teferi, Temporal Archmage as your Commander & The Chain Veil + any 2 mana producing permanents totally does it better.

Here's one -
Derevi, Empyrial Tactician + Aluren + Any Sac Outlet with at least some lands that produce mana = Infinite ManaAbove doesn't work. Just figured out the tax is additional cost that has to be paid regardless.
Derevi, Empyrial Tactician + Aluren + Cloudstone Curio + any nonartifact creature CMC 3 or below = Infinite mana
