Man, so, in Unhinged, we had ½, here we have irrational numbers and and ∞.
Now we just need an infinitesimal number to complete the transfinite numbers. i can only imagine what would follow that.
Infinitesimals do not meaningfully exist!
*Grumbles in Mathematician's Cant something about 0.999...=1*
This is the hilltop I will die on, dammit. They are a teaching tool for calculus and worthless in pretty much every other context.
Ah, so here it is finally - the Vanilla Mythic!
Well, ahem, excuse me-
JANK, DIES TO REMOVAL 2/10
...now that we got that stupid comment out of the way. How the hell Matt Tabak sleeps at night knowing that this actually got printed? Either way, love the card. Just wanna use it along cards like Furnace of Rath to deal DOUBLE INFINITE DAMAGE.
Tabak sleeps like a baby because MaRo is the official silver-bordered rules manager. I'm equal parts excited and frustrated by this card as someone with a deep interest in mathematics, which is apparently it working as MaRo intended.

Check out the thread for my cube if you have the time, and tell me how terrible it is.
Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)
Just a reminder, that if you gain infinite life then get smacked for infinite damage/life loss, your life goes to minus infinity, not wherever it previously was, not zero. By definition, infinity means "increase/decrease without bound", which means you'll get hit so hard your life total won't ever stop decreasing until the game ends.

That's not how infinite candinalities work.

I actually really want to know how they work then. Most of my collegiate math focused on very specific subjects applicable to computer science (propositional logic, counting, and basic calculus for the physics bits).

That part I'm clear on, courtesy of Calc 101-103, it's the infinite minus infinite that's the hang up.
While this is an interesting line of discussion (and I personally would like to know the mathematical answer as to what happens when you take infinity - infinity) in Magic (or, in Silver-Bordered land) infinity-infinity = infinity. Essentially, from a game play perspective, once you have infinite life, you can't lose life.

This is not the first instance of infinity in Magic. Unhinged has that honor as well with Mox Lotus.
Read my other stories as well (some ongoing):
Reaper King (a horror story), Kaalia of the Vast (an origin story), Sequels for Innistrad (Alternative sequels for Inn), Grey Areas (Odric's fanfic), Royal Succession (goblins),The Tracker's Message (eldrazi on Innistrad) and Ugin and his Eye (the end of OGW).
Too bad Konami made its IRL version a weaker The Wicked Avatar and removed its Platinum Angel effect.
