What are some good Purple (or mixed) combos?
So far, the only ones I've really enjoyed are spamming "Cut through Fate" and "Just Lucky" to stack Scry effects and cycle cards (like looking for Alpha).

Can anyone else recommend other cool/fun combos?

I enjoy stance swapping. Going into/out of calm/rage constantly has good benefits of its own, which you can then accentuate with stuff like Flurry of Blows, Mental Fortress, Rushdown, and Violet Lotus. Getting all the ordering right, knowing when to end in your turn in which stance, I find that sort of stuff enjoyable.

Some combo pieces that worked well for me:
Battle Hymn, Worship, Establishment.
Like Water, Wave of the Hand.
Talk to the Hand, Flurry of Blows, Tantrum, Rushdown, Fear no Evil.
Talk to the Hand, Wave of the Hand.

Omniscience for Any Power or exhausting card (most preferably Omega, Devotion, Wish)
Master Reality + Dead Branch (extra nice with Battle Hymn, Deus Ex Machina and/or Deva Form - sometimes also Collect)
Wish + Strange Spoon (nearly infinte money possible)
Pretty straigtforward: Enter Wrath - use Halt and Wallop - Exit Wrath/Enter Calm

Not a complex combo, but noteworthy: if you scry and Weave is one of the cards, you can discard it and it will land straight into your hand (only exception is when the discard pile is shuffled into the draw pile right after the scry - can happen with Foresight or Cut Through Fate)

Meditate + Establishment. Cards that may work well with this combo:

- Like Water and Mental Fortress for block
- Windmill Strike and Perseverance for Retain synergy
- Simmering Fury for extra draw and energy every turn (or close to it)
- Card draw for a potential infinite (though this takes a few turns to set up)
- Worship+ for entering Divinity at will and very little cost

If you can get multiple Omniscience, you can play the one you draw to chain through all of the others in your deck, and then play lots of cards for free, doubled. Very effective if you have powers or big attacks in your deck.

Omniscience+Worship also works pretty well - instant Divinity.

Apotheosis is great with Miracles - they get upgraded and produce two mana instead of one. If you have Red, Armaments+ also does this, and works pretty well with Retain cards in general.

If you have access to multiple colors and lots of time, Wish+Nightmare+(Nightmare/Exhume) allows you to produce unlimited gold. Combine with the Courier relic to buy all of the cards and relics in the game from a single shop.

Forgot to mention: this is even more awesome with Bloody Idol.

Check Tantrum (or Upgraded Eruption), Rushdown, and Inner Peace. You can easily upgrade Eruption since you start with it, so all you need is Inner Peace and Rushdown.

If you have a low enough card count in your deck, it's 100% infinite on turn 1. Just stick in some draw cards to always combo it out like Scrawl or Master of Strategy. For a rare, Rushdown seems to appears quite frequently.

Add in Talk to the Hand for the final boss to keep your HP/block up when you attack.

Rushdown is uncommon, so that might explain why it seems to be appearing frequently.

Ah, I meant uncommon. I was confusing the blue and yellow. I thought blue was rare, and yellow was ultra or something.

But the combo needs only Rushdown and Inner Peace, which are both uncommon. I tend to see 3x the Rushdown as I do Inner Peace, for whatever reason.

Pressure points, just multiple pressure points.
Foreign Influence (i always take 1, since you can just not pick a card)
Master reality is just a combo machine (smites, conjure blade, Deceive reality, etc)

infinite combos (most work only if deck fits in hand)
rushdown, Eruption+/tantrum, Inner peace/ fear no evil. (the rushdown effect happens after eruption discards)
Prostrate+, plus draw cards (love deep breath!!)
Pray+ x2, (got beat Act 4 just today with this!!! i killed the heart!)
Meditate + Estabilishment (omfg can you say 0 Energy deck? especially if you play 2 Establishment?)
Talk to the hand + Tantrum/ ragnarok
Wreath of flames + + Tantrum/ ragnarok

I love Foreign Influence specifically for this reason. It allows you to take FI early, then not have to worry about removing it later if you get a decent/infinite combo going. Just don't take the card and exhaust it FOR FREE.
