Clunky combo: a dry Madam Mim, Rival of Merlin , combined with a Dr. Facilier - Agent Provocateur and a LeFou - Instigator, and preferably a Shere Khan - Menacing Predator. Madam Mim lets you play LeFou for free and grants him Rush. LeFou challenges an opposing character with at least 2 Strength, readies Madam Mim, and would be banished but is returned to your hand due to Dr. Facilier so you can do it again. Shere Khan gains you 1 lore every time Lefou challenges a character. Without Shere Khan, the cycle could take out a lot of opposing characters. "Clunky combo" because it requires 4 cards and opposing characters with 2 Strength. The ideal character to challenge would have 2 Strength and Resist 2, as that means you can do it as many times you want.

Clarifications

If I use the Gruesome and Grim ability of Madam Mim - Rival of Merlin and play a character from my hand, if that character is later returned to my hand by the effect of Arthur - Wizard's Apprentice do I still banish that character at the end of the turn?
No, you do not.
