The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl has all the elements to become a breakout commander: A fan-favorite character with a killer design that can casual fun or powered up into a combo machine thanks to its powerful activated ability.

Though I know little about the character, I love this commander for its flexible design: Straightforward for new players attracted by Marvel Super Heroes but strong and complex enough to climb brackets. I’m focusing on the latter today with infinite combos that use Squirrel Girl; they all make at least infinite mana, and tend to make infinite Squirrel tokens. Be warned: all but the first are two-card combos, so running them puts you in Bracket 4.

Springleaf Parade + Concordant Crossroads

This only combo that’s remotely Bracket 3 friendly, and even that’s a tough sell since its pieces are cheap enough to combo early in the game. In addition to The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, you need Springleaf Parade and Concordant Crossroads in play with at least three additional squirrels.

Tap the squirrels for mana with Springleaf Parade (while Squirrel Girl doesn’t tap for mana, you can use another mana source) and activate I LOVE Squirrels! This creates four Squirrel tokens, which can tap for mana and have haste, so you can immediately tap them to use the ability again and make eight more Squirrels. The numbers keep climbing, until you control infinite hasty Squirrel tokens with a side of infinite mana.

Many redundant pieces can replace the two above. Cryptolith Rite, Jaheira, Friend of the Forest, and Elven Chorus are a few cards that can replace Springleaf Parade; anything that gives your Squirrels haste or at least gets around summoning sickness, like Lightning Greaves or Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu, makes infinite mana, though they might not enable an attack. If you want to make this combo work in Bracket 3, consider using expensive pieces like Chorus and Thousand-Year Elixir to tone down the power.

Supportive Parents

I knew Supportive Parents was destined for combos during the Marvel’s Spider-Man preview season; it’s delightful that it uses another Marvel Universes Beyond card for the combo. You’ll need both permanents and eight untapped Squirrels to get started.

Tap your eight Squirrel tokens to make four mana, which Squirrel Girl turns into eight more tokens, which make another four mana, and so on. This combo creates infinite mana and squirrels, though you’ll need an additional piece to win: Either a haste enabler or a mana sink like Finale of Devastation (which also helps set up the combo as a tutor).

Earthcraft

Earthcraft is a well-known combo engine that goes infinite with pretty much anything, so it’s hardly surprising to see it pop up with a token commander. For this combo, you need to control both permanents, a basic Forest, and four squirrels.

Tap your Forest for , then use Earthcraft to tap a squirrel and untap the Forest; repeat this four times, then activate Squirrel Girl to make four more Squirrels, then keep going to give your opponents a massive headache.

Earthcraft is appealing because its flexibility. The worst combo cards do nothing but combo because they end up being bricks if you don’t draw the other cards (with the exception of hyper-efficient ones like Thassa's Oracle or Doomsday). That doesn’t exactly apply here because the other card is your commander, but Earthcraft being a powerful ramp engine that helps establish a winning board state doesn’t hurt it. It also combos with other cards, most notably Squirrel Nest (which this deck should run anyway) and Spawning Grounds, so you can pack in more redundancy if you’re worried about Drannith Magistrate.

Phyrexian Altar

Phyrexian Altar rounds out the list with another two-card combo, though this one as a demanding squirrel count: In addition to this classic sacrifice outlet and The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, you need at least eight other squirrels for a total of nine, including the commander.

Sacrifice four Squirrels to make , then activate Squirrel Girl. You’ll make five tokens, which need to be sacrificed for . You’ll net one mana each loop, but not infinite Squirrels without an additional squirrel or a token doubler (which helps reach the high squirrel count in the first place). If you want to include Squirrel Girl in a Chatterfang, Squirrel General deck, this might be the best combo to work in.

If you control eight squirrels when you get started, the loop goes neutral, making four squirrels then sacrificing them without netting mana or tokens. That loop creates no resources but still works as a win if you can exploit infinite death triggers and infinite creaturefall triggers with cards like Fecundity and Altar of the Brood.
