when they can use it to protect their combo.
I'm pretty sure that "not being taken off combo mana" IS protecting the combo.
You have plenty of manasources, you only have 6 combo guys. You don't need to try and combo on turn four every game, that's how most of the twin players lost, because they got greedy and tried to win when they didn't need to and countered the wrong things.

Boom//Bust  I dunno how to do double-carding with autocard. Akki Blizzard-Herder  Zo-Zu the Punisher  These also work, the latter being a deterant from playing too many lands in one turn. But the second card I listed, if worked right, can destroy lands easily. Hm...I am gonna try something.
WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!

Okay, so call me an idiot, one card I think is never used because the occurence might not be as numerous: Avarice Totem  . If you are running 12-post yourself, and/or against it, you can take their Eldrazi-ho, and use it against them, unless they pay the Totem price to get it back.
WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!

They cast Emrakul. They get an extra turn from casting it.
Emrakul enters the battlefield. You Avarice Totem it, gaining control of Emrakul.
Free Turn, untap, avarice totem it back, get hit in the face for annihilator 6.
Alternate way of dealing with Emrakul-
Opponent casts Emrakul. They get the extra turn.
They swing at you, 15 + Ann 6.
Your turn, Oblivion Ring.
Oblivion Ring is just a better solution all around.

Emrakul does not have haste. Totem can prevent it from attacking, at least. Also, if you have ten mana and they're tapped out you can activate your totem twice to exchange and Overgrown Battlement  or something for Emrakul.

So what if Totem doesn't have haste, they pay and they get the extra turn anyway.

Opponent is playing Blazing Shoal Infect. He/She uses the combo on their second turn by a twist of epic luck. You play Awe Strike  and gain 10 life. Do I misunderstand the card ruling?

nope.
But then they use Pact of Negation  and you still die. Not to worry, blazing shoal just got banned.

1000th post November 26, 2010. Where Islands gets his decks: Spoiler:
Show
It was revealed to me in a dream. All the cards were in my dream except for three slots which I plugged in as Vault Skirge.
FULL DISCLOSURE: The dream was post AVR so there was a copy of Slayer's Stronghold. I decided to keep it pre AVR in my post here.
EDIT: I just remembered. The Skirges might have been 2x Whipflare and 1x something else, probably War and Peace.
EDIT2: Currently 4-0 in my first four games with this. My opponents have been very angry. I fought off a Wurmcoil from Grixis for six turns before I found my second Dispatch. Jeez, I can do a lot of damage.
EDIT3: Streak broken. Lost to an unexpected Overrun.  Cracking a Shrine for 10 wasn't enough.
How Kedi tests his decks: Spoiler:
Show
also, I've been playtesting this deck in my sleep today
that kinda freaked me out
Sleeping on Halloween: Spoiler:

Halloween is a conspiracy by crossdressers and furries.
 Thanks to Kipz for the sig. Make a contract with me to become a magical girl!
