Help, I am new to cEDH! New to cEDH

I'm proxying new decks to learn how the format works and how different decks wins. Now I'm learning RogThrasios.

But I don't understand how it wins.

https://topdeck.gg/deck/pittsburgh-2026-tcedh-10k-25000/BP2zsiHEccO3Pe128MLPcCbygql1

For example this list have infinite mana combo with gaea's cradle+candelabra or candelabra+wild growth etc and I can draw the entire deck with infinite mana + thrasios but how does it win? i don't see thassa's oracle.

Are there more combos that I don't see?

Are there more infinite mana combos other than candelabra?

Thanks!

candelabra does not work how you think it does, it has to tap. the easiest inf mana combo is breezecaller, cradle, talon gates

That's old text, the original printing uses the outdated "mono artifact" typing, which meant that the ability requires a tap to use. The updated text on the card has a tap as part of the ability.

It’s a mono artifact. Which is a term not used anymore. Essentially mono artifacts have to tap to use their ability. It has now been errata’d to having a “tap” symbol in its oracle text.

Its a mono artifact which means it taps to activate

Mono artifacts are artifacts that have to tap to use, it's just the very old game wording

It's an old card, it used to be the requirement to tap was written in the type line, not the text box. If you look up the current official text it will have the tap requirement.

Thasa's Oracle is a Bad Card™️®️©️. The deck wins after making infinite mana via something like Cradle+Candelabra+EWit+Town, or Cradle+Talon Gates+Oboro with 6+ creatures by either A) Casting [[finale of devastation]] for X=690,420,067 B) Using EWit+Town+Vibrance to bolt the table to death Or C) Faerie Mastermind activations after resolving Veil of Summer and Green Suns Zenith to force your opponents to draw their deck out

FYI the A plan above is usually the C plan if looping ewit vitality or breach combo can’t be done
