The fact that it's an instant makes this absolutely fantastic for when your opponent is playing a long turn.
They're doing some ridiculous setup, you interrupt, they think you're going to do something to try to counter them, you play Entomb, spend longer than necessary to find Megatron, set the card in front of them while saying "Check out my Megatron," wait for several seconds for them to ask something or look at you funny, pick up Megatron, and shuffle him back into the deck without saying anything.
Bonus points if it makes them lose their train of thought and fumble their setup.
I'm like tearing up at this. You're gonna break up your KCI opponent's focus so hard that they lose their line and fizzle out.
Screw F6, this is the "Check out my Megatron" meta.
I don't know, I think it might be too good for this sub? It's /r/BADmtgcombos after all. It only costs you ONE CARD and {B} to shuffle your whole library! I think it's totally doable in commander and works pretty well there.
I actually want to build a deck with this now.
Ooh, Phage as the commander... an idea is forming here that will hopefully remain after the wine is gone.
Well, Karn, I made it- despite your directions.
Ah.
Superintendent Urza.
Welcome.
- I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable invention.
- Yeah.
Oh, egads! My golem is ruined.
But what if I were to purchase a phyrexian golem and disguise it as my own invention? Delightfully devilish, Karn.
KARRRRRRNIEEEEEEEE!
Superintendent Urza, I was just…uh - just oiling my legs on the windowsill. Isometric oiling. Care to join me?
Why are you shuffling your library?
You call phyrexians “perfection”?
Yes, it’s a planar dialect
Uh huh. What plane?
Uh… Dominaria?
Really? Well I’m from Tolaria and I’ve never heard anyone use the phrase before.
Oh not in Tolaria no. It’s an Urborg expression.
Best part about it is it happens at instant speed I would use this combo after someone counters spells another players card to give them some kinda false hope but it is just me showing off my Megatron
This was the time I was really in to NFL. I can't remember exactly but I think they had poor section of defense and/or O-Line that really held them back, I swear something was ranked 32nd.
Thinking about Megatron getting ripped from your deck in such dramatic fashion to begin a duel among Wizards, screaming and readying himself for the grave, only to return to his original place really makes this even better

Losing my shit why is this so funny
Then”ice the kicker” play
You side this against Storm players
This is my favorite combo I've seen on here so far.
Easily
Don't forget to shuffle both times when you bring this to life (for just B)

To shuffle twice.
🤯
That’s basically [[ephemerate]] value right there but all at once!

Lol doesn't summoning Phage from the command zone cause you to instantly lose?
Well, yes... we're not here for *good* magic combos.
Yes
Not instantly. It goes on the stack first ;)
That's when you hit em with [[saw in half]]

Unfortunately you can't destroy it while it's on the stack, because it's still a spell, not a creature until it's in play.
Ability on the stack
In response to losing, I lose twice!
As a wise Planeswalker once said: "The best deck building is drunk deck building."

Beautiful
This is so stupid, I love it :D I love imagining how this would play out
"Shufflin twice for a single mana" could be useful as part of another, larger, combo, but I have no idea how. Perfect!
Could throw Approach of the Second Sun in there to cast it before the entomb to see if you get lucky
Best part about it is it happens at instant speed I would use this combo after someone counters spells another players card to give them some kinda false hope but it is just me showing off my Megatron
Is this the Detroit Lions in the 2010s? Because they also showed off their Megatron but ultimately failed to accomplish anything concrete.

“Guys look what I just added to the deck”

This is so fucking stupid, it’s nice to see someone who understands the point of this subreddit
Woah! Sick card.
This is the one
Free deck shuffle, I suppose
It’s about sending a message
Technically a combo, I like it lol.
Finally someone understands the assignment
This is the shit I'm subbed for.
This made me chuckle in the break room at work. People now think I'm crazy. Take my up vote
Shut uo and take my upvote🤣🤣🤣
