Community: Combo or Non-bo?

When is something a combo vs. Synergy? Do combos need to take 3-4 cards to be acceptable? I’m not a fan of two-card win buttons personally, but let’s argue about it

Strategy: Let’s Play Combo

• Open Combos vs. Concentrated Combos
• Digging vs. Incidental
• Playing “Keep you off the button”

Technology: Have you tried setting it to Wombo?
