[@coreyg7364]

Once they wrap their mind around that one, you can introduce them to the idea of multiple sets of infinity.

[@SeleenShadowpaw]

@@Llanowar_Kitten no they certainly don't share cardinality. They are just both countable. one is still aa0 and the next bigger aa1, at least in this context. You gotta keep in mind that most set theory notation is context sensitive. And since we are only comparing countable infinities, you still use aleph notation to compare the two sets and possibly do arithmetic on them or whatever. Transfinite set theory gives me a headache though.

Even when you go infinite you need to decide where you stop. Infinite damage beats infinite life. I think attacking to win is fine. Even if they have 16 million life we would eventually win

[@BrewersKitchen]

Yep, especially since the deck is truly infinite with two Primal Commands to shuffle everything together. It would be another story if they weren't in the deck, though. The Midnight clocks exile themself

[@Garymaster4321]

@@BrewersKitchen exactly what I think, if you can have infinite turns without ever decking yourself, you are able to do infinite damage. If that wasn´t the case I would ask the opponent if he wants the win and scoop if theyy say yes

[@CenJohan]

While technically true, in tournament the match would almost certainly go to time and be declared a tie. The infinite loop from Phil’s list is non-determinate so it cannot be declared as infinite but he is advancing the board state so he could keep going without a dq. Without an approach, it all comes down to if the opponent is willing to give up the game in the face of a theoretical win or just hold out for the tie.

[@Luna-Lux]

@@CenJohan not rlly since things like the second sun let the deck win just by cycling out cards with infinite turns

[@sparkfrog777]

Yeah it's a weird situation anyhow, since currently the opponent if we go by they have infinite squirrels, and have 3 times infinity health, and 2 times infinity plus 1 damage . Where as the other deck, which just stole the two soul wardens would have 2 times infinity health. But that's just numbers that don't really exist, so it's weird and finite numbers would make a lot more sense.

[@SomeGuy712x]

This was definitely entertaining to watch. Putting the bell sound on the Midnight Clocks really helped too. It's kind of a shame that the Approach of the Second Sun didn't end up showing up during your "infiniter" combo, but oh, well.

in paper MTG you have to declare an actual number rather than say "infinite" thus the "As many as you can make before you time out" works fine.

[@egoalter1276]

I declare nine septillion. Non exponential effects should not be able to compare with infinite loops.

[@marcdavis2134]

What my brother and I used to do is declare a number called “X” and assume X is larger than any non-X-derived number. It’s still possible to work with numbers like 2X or X+1, which did come up. Then if another infinite combo comes up we could declare “Y” to be larger than any X-derived number. This system is loosely equivalent to working with ordinal numbers.

[@marcdavis2134]

(I meant Cardinal numbers)

[@AngelusNielson]

@@marcdavis2134 That's not a number, that's a variable... (If my poor math skills remember 30 years of school ago correctly.)

[@savagesnadgaming7252]

I have actually made this deck work in Bo3. 7 card wishboard with slight changes (Ugin mainly and a Tamiyo for more ways to get cards back from the yard to loop). Then I put some disputes and Shifting Ceratops in the non-wishboard slots since control is a real bad matchup unless you just happen to resolve Jin. Problem is Teferi, Hero of Dominaria isn't affected by Jin. Then in the main I made a few changes to the mana base and took out a Clock and a Primal Command to have 2 Nissa's for more fast mana and alternate win-con. It's been a ton of fun to play. A few opponents figured out how to waste bad spells to clear the way for their good ones, but for the most part when Jin resolves it's gg. Glad to have another video from you Phil! I'll take videos like this if it's 2-3 months in between. The quality is just...mmm...chef's kiss perfection.

If I were the opponent on the other side of the table there's no way I'd scoop to this, not because I'm salty, but because I absolutely love watching insane off the wall combos like this play out and I find it incredibly enjoyable to watch, even if it's my opponent doing it. If it were something like Splinter Twin or some other very common combo we've seen a million times obviously that's one thing, scoop and go on to the next game/match, but when it's something this out of left field I don't understand how you couldn't be enthralled and want to see the whole thing play out.

[@shibbidydoowop]

Brewing is the best way to play, it's all we would do back when we first started out

[@jordillatser5897]

They should implement it to have infinite combos, or some kind of way to detect it

[@daktastik]

That's very similar to the Halting Problem in computer science. The main difference here is that we're not trying to predict for all possible inputs but for a set of inputs limited by the state of the game and all possible actions in the game, limited by the cards in the decks. Still, this is very nontrivial. Maybe there could be a way to bundle actions into a set and let the user input the number of times the set of actions be repeated... Still, I think it's much more complicated than it sounds unless for very trivial two-card combos

[@daktastik]

@Zach, Bro How so? Do players not have to manually work through each step of the combo an arbitrary number of times, limited by timing out?

[@velphidrow]

@@daktastik they do

[@lekhakaananta5864]

​@@daktastik It might not be trivial, but it should hardly be impossible either. As a general rule, if a set of game rules can run on human brains, it should be able to run on computers. If humans can recognize an infinite loop, a computer should too. There also variations in the space of "infinite combos". Some are easier to implement than others. The Jin-Gitaxias combo shown here for example, might be a lot more difficult to implement for computers because of the variations of going infinite: it's not a simple cycle because you have some random variation on drawing the necessary Time Walk-like cards. That's not to say humans can comprehend this any better. If my opponent at a tournament explained the Jin combo, I'd still probably ask them to play through it because it isn't obvious that their infinite loop is guaranteed. So a computer not declaring infinite loop victory here is not any worse than a human. However, it should be relatively easy to recognize the life-gain squirrel infinite combo. You can just have a trigger to look for a cycle of similar inputs followed by a proportional change in board state that doesn't use up any finite resources. When this is detected, give the player a pop-up menu to ask how many iterations of the cycle they'd like to play. Now we come to the actual game-rules limitation here. If I remember correctly, in actual Magic rules, you can't have actually infinite life. Instead, you can declare any arbitrarily large (finite) number. Which is not gonna be possible with computers. You'll probably need to make sure "infinite" combos still work as expected when you simply declare enough cycles to give players the max number of whatever they want. Considering value overflows and all that stuff.

What I think about infinite life in arena is you treat it as they have as much life as they have patience but I do think arena should have a feature that can loop combos infinitely if it is indeed infinite. If they just choose a number of times they want it to happen, I think that would be cool and that is how the rules for infinite combos in paper magic works too.

[@joybeamwi]

They should put in the work to have a popup where the AI recognizes you have an infinite combo in progress. You get to set a slider or type in a number 1-1mil and it gives you 1 token with that number on it, or that much mana, or that much life etc. Make it one clean animation instead of all these triggers. (obvi if opponent has interaction they should also get a fast menu)

It's awe-inspiring to think about how much work you put into a 20 minute long video. I have to say, though, the new Jin Gitaxias is a good example of a Bad Mythic. It's miserable to play against, and you can't really have fun playing with it because people are going to scoop when they're on the receiving end (because it's miserable to play against). And it doesn't even set up a potentially-cool Protect The Queen subgame, because it's a 5/5 that blanks the first removal spell that gets flung at it each turn. That said... it was a sweet deck. May I suggest including some copies of Quandrix Apprentice in the mix?
