So Squirrel, Squirrel, Squirrel, and Baloth are safe,
but Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, Kozilek, the Great Distortion, and The Ur-Dragon
have all perished.

SaprazZANY posted a message on To Infinity Elemental and BeyondI will stand my ground on this one, should I ever own this and be called on it. It doesn't have "arbitrarily large" power, it has literally INFINITE power. It goes beyond numbers. That means if you slap lifelink on this thing and hit a chump blocker, no "infinite combo" from black-bordered magic can kill you. Your opponent can declare that they are going to loop their Breya, Etherium Shaper combo to make 100,000,000,000 thopter tokens, beat you in the face with every one of them, and sac them all to deal 150,000,000,000 damage to you, but your life total will still be "infinity".Posted in: The Rumor Mill -

SCDL posted a message on To Infinity Elemental and BeyondPosted in: The Rumor MillQuote from Courier7 »Quote from SCDL »
If you subtract infinity from infinity you get a complete and unresolvable mess unless we strictly define the sorts of infinity we're working with.
We should probably stick to the simplest form of infinity: if k is a positive integer then let x = infinity so that x - k = x regardless of the value of k. The equates to k = 0 regardless of the actual value of k and we can define all instances of "infinity" to have the same value. Thus, the demon couldn't drain the token by -infinity/-infinity (this process increments by integers) but if the token hits you and you have infinite life then you die since x - x = 0.
In general, though, it is true that there are several types of infinities and some of them are more infinite than others.
And some are more mind-numbingly convoluted than others! -

That is the primary reason I don't play Modern. Just because I can afford $40 for Noble Hierarch doesn't meant that I am going to spend that money. If I don't buy the deck as the professionals play it then I will wind up wasting both time and money as I sit there and lose to decks which have been honed to near-perfection over a decade of play. This is like going to the casino--I don't mind sitting down at the regular table and throwing in a $1 ante per hand but I am not going to sit at the table with considerably higher rewards where the ante is $25 or $50 per hand. The buy-in cost is too high, even for me.

Why do people see only the negatives when they see new cards?

I tried looking only at the slope of the cryptoliths, ignoring the direction they were pointing, as well. This gives only 5 positions--level, slightly down to the right, sharply down to the right, slightly down to the left, and sharply down to the left--and calling those "position 1", "position 2", etc. This would make the English version come out as 3, 2, 2, 4. Now, from here it appears that the second and third letters should be the same and this would give us possibilities such as "moon" or "seek" or even "http" but this didn't work out with any satisfactory results, either.
However they have this puzzle built, it looks like it will definitely require all 11 posters to have full information and cannot be too terribly complex--it won't reference the flavor text on cards like I examined and it won't require advanced knowledge of number theory, cyphers, and/or codes.
Still...Jace says that all the cryptoliths point to the Drownyard Temple and we know that they are responsible for the Warped Landscape. Perhaps there is something in that card's flavor text about cryptoliths twisting the plane's mana...but twisting it how?

In upcoming Standard, though, the aggravating UW players are going to play this card, then -2 to bounce their Reflector Mage then resummon it. Every. Single. Turn.

Xathrid Slyblade, perhaps?
How about the difficult-to-use-but-always-fun Ankle Shanker?
