So I know that you can't use (for example) two Nomads en-Kor and a Furnace of Rath to generate an arbitrarily large amount of damage by moving damage back and forth between them, doubling it each time, because of the rules on replacement effects ever only applying once to a given event.
However, if instead of using Nomads en-Kor, I have a Boros Reckoner with a Darksteel Plate equipped, I CAN generate infinite damage by dealing a single point of damage to the Boros Reckoner, which doubles to 2, triggering the Reckoner and letting it deal 2 damage to itself, which doubles to 4, which triggers the Reckoner and lets it deal 4, which doubles to 8, and so on, because every time the triggered ability of the Reckoner resolves it creates a "new" event of damage being dealt, so the Furnace of Rath effectively gets to apply its doubling effect over and over again, correct?
