@ZirilanoftheClaw Undying would work on Wurmcoil engine which is probably as broken as ever. But I actually got this at pre-release and he was awesome, although hard to play with 3 black (in a 3 color deck), he was fantastic. I plan to make some sort of deck on this guy soon. Really great card. 5/5 for his amazing potential.
Edit: The tokens would come back with undying also. So yes that is a dirty combination.

Looks like you can get an infinite G mana combo with devoted druid - the druid untaps by adding a -1/-1 counter to himself. He does that 3 times, goes to the graveyard and comes back with a +1/+1. Four more mana later he's back in, and out of the graveyard.
In fact, it's starting to look feasible to build a deck out of nothing but cards that infinite combo with this guy.

Mikaeus + Death Baron is a combo I very much look forward to.

Poor Mikaeus. He looks so sad.
...or like me on Mondays. "Dude, what time is it? Why is it dark out?"

I would combo this with Everlasting Torment. all your creatures would die without any +1 counters due to wither. so none of your creatures would stay dead but all of the opponents creatures would wither away.

I hate to say it, but any combo that relies on removing all the counters from a 0/0 to get effects (Spike Feeder, Fertilid, etc.) won't work on their own. Mikaeus gives everyone +1/+1 in addition to undying, so you get them down to 1/1 but then they just sit there unless you have another way of killing them off. Still, there are a ton of monster combos that use him, so don't let that stop you.

Angels, Demons, and Dragons are all non-humans.
Kaalia of the Vast + Concerted Effort is sounding pretty delicious right now. 3:) O:)
(The trick with really making Tribal Decks over the top is to not restrict yourself to only the Tribal types you want when you have an opportunity like THIS. He's not Kaalia's favorite type, but he fits beautifully into her deck- and as a Cleric, they would still get along. A Vorthos that doesn't understand this needs to readjust what they think 'Vorthos' means.)

Lunarch is better in my opinion.

This + sac engine + Pawn Of Ulamog
Eldrazi Spawn produce 2 mana!
Each creature can be sacced 4 times! 2 times as a creature, 2 times as a spawn!
Carrion Feeder became a 25/25 this way xD

Yes, Triskelion and Mikaeus alone will allow you to deal infinite damage. Trisky can deal damage to any creature, including himself. With Mikaeus he'll be a 2/2 not including the counters, so if the last two pings target himself, he'll die.
You'll need some way to sac Workhorse, though. Claws of Gix (using some of the mana), Phyrexian Altar, Ashnod's Altar, and many creatures like Viscera Seer or Blood Bairn, can do the job.
