I think Charmed Pendant  was the rare in the very first booster I opened, and even then I figured I'd been cheated out of a rare. I'm glad someone found a ridiculous combo to use it in. Edit: On a sidenote, I'm really hoping I open several Master Transmuter  and partner rares when my Conflux box gets in. That deck would be much fun.

I always love it when infinite combos using silly pieces are found. That one is golden.

I have yet to play with any Conflux, but am just dying to try this out when I do: Esperzoa  , Parasitic Strix  , black permanent.

Yep, this combo is wonderful. I just opened a Charmed Pendant the other day, this is definitely going to inspire me to try and find a home for it.

I have five Charmed Pendant s. Odyssey was not kind to me, as you might infer. I've been plotting to use Progenitus  with them for a while, especially for a WUBRG deck, but Filigree Sages  may just be the card I've been looking for to push it up a level! Of course, you know... you can always Pendant a Progenitus to play another copy of the big hydra. And it's awfully hard to lose the game when you pull out a turn 4-5 10/10 with protection from everything.

Yes, strange he didn't use that with the card that puts 3 creatures on top of the library, draw one then pendant the second to cast the 1st.

Great combos, but I'm still a bit unsure of the last one... is it actually possible to do that? I mean, since there's a replacement effect the card never goes to the graveyard so... how do we check the mana cost? Or does it work with some kind of memory (like looking back in time to what the card was suppose to be? If this really works I think Heed the mists  may be a nice addition to the deck... Good luck everyone!

It still sees the card...even though it never went to the graveyard, it still knows that the card it flipped was Progenitus. Nowhere on the Pendant does it state that the mana is in any way conditional on the card being sent to or being in the graveyard.

You and I both know that's just way too simple.
