Another janky combo that cato informed me about yesterday:

Exquisite Blood + Vizkopa Guildmage


...Pretty pathetic attempts at a decent combo deck. I think Splinter Twin might have been the last of its breed.

Except when they nut draw and you draw poorly, in which case you were going to lose anyways... Yeah, I share your sentiment.

I can almost see guildmage + enchant combo being competitive in a dedicated hand disruption deck. One of the reasons that deck hasn't been good is because for aggressive discard to be good you really need to devote to it, which prevents you from playing too many cards that are going to win the game (i.e. creatures). Having a reasonably in-color 2-card win combo solves that problem to a degree.

Yeah, but if you're spending cards forcing discard, you have no way to dig for or protect your combo.
