Welcome to the MTG Salvation You Make the Card project!
Nominations in this category will go toward Linear Support Cards. Basically, these are cards that support particular strategies more specific that the aggro and control that we normally see... These tend to be combo cards, but rather than listing out the entire combo, you can nominate cards that pretty much enable the starting end of the combo. You can nominate up to five cards that enable one strategy, but in trying to get your combo in, reducing the key pieces may be beneficial...
The end-result cards are not included in this nomination; you nominate these cards later in the next few weeks. There is no restriction to cards in terms of color or type other than they enable a specific strategy...
Also, you can name or explain said strategy to get others to support.
Only ten strategies will make the cut, regardless of the number of cards in each strategy.
Nominations close on Wednesday, 48 hours from now...
Till then...

PS. If you find a strategy that you like, even if it is one card off, it is probably better to just agree with the first one to submit (even quote their submission) to ensure that it gets in...

He asked for linear, not non-linear. Body Double, Reveillark, and Kiki will all make it on their own accord when their color comes up.
If you wanted to say.. Kiki/courthussar/pestermite/carrion feeder/karmic guide that might make more sense imo.
That makes no sense. Those cards are "linear" in the sense that they are the critical component of the "Flash" combo. They enable the hulk strategy. Sure they are good by themselves, but that's even better news.
By your definition, Dark Ritual, Necromancy, Bazaar, Eternal Witness, Academy Rector, etc, etc suggested in this thread are all "non-linear", since they will all make it on their own accord. Just because something is good by themselves doesn't mean it can't help to push for a linear strategy.

My point was that there is really no point voting in something here that is gonna get voted in somewhere else 100% guarenteed, and by suggesting "hulk/courthussar/pestermite/carrion feeder/karmic guide" you would get all the pieces to revilark, kiki-jiki, and hulk combos (aside from the flash itself) because mirror entity, revilark, kiki-jiki, body double are all shoe-ins.
Darksteel Colossus is hard to work with unless you have a Tooth, Channel or Tinker. Sky Hussar and Pestermite combo infinitely with Kiki, and might be playable on their own. Tooth itself is hard to cast with entwine unless you dedicate your deck to acceleration of some sort (Heartbeat of Spring, Signets, Gaea's Cradle, etc.) It is also easy to win with Tooth even if you fail to draft any of the creatures I listed.
I nominate:
1)Illusions of Grandeur(can be good by itself)
2)Donate
3)Darksteel Colossus(good with Oath and Tinker)
4)Pandemonium(good with 187 like hermit, sgc and saproling burst)
5)Sneak Attack

Critical pieces of the Hulk combo. These things are even good by themselves, and not totally linear.

I am gonna go with..
Edit: Gonna do a different set of 5.. didn't see that power 9 were banned thus ruining salvager combo =P
I think I will also vote Worldgorger Dragon Combo, but differently
Cavern Harpy
I'd prefer to nominate only those two, but if I have to have a complete, working combo then I'll add:
Tendrils of Agony
