It has been pointed out that Mox Amber is a legendary card. I'm stupid. This whole thing doesn't work. It's still a decent read, though.I have gotten a solution! It isn't optimized. You could easily deal infinite damage on the first turn, but making a massive non-infinite combo is much more comedic and involves some fun math, which I am a fan of.
Opening Hand:1
Island4
Mox Amber1
Emry, Lurker of the Loch1
Paradoxical OutcomeYou play 4
Mox Amber, then an
Island allowing you to play
Emry, Lurker of the Loch, allowing you to use the
Mox Amber to play
Paradoxical Outcome. Pull all of the
Mox Amber back into your hand and draw four extra cards.
First Draw:1
Cloudform1
Essence Flux1
Anointed Procession1
Dragonlord's PrerogativeCard on Top of Deck:1
OmnisciencePlay all of your
Mox Amber, and tap it for
Cloudform, then
Essence Flux on the manifested card.
Omniscience is flipped face-up when exiled (that is a special rule for manifested cards), and since it is not an instant or sorcery, it is still a legal target to return to the battlefield. You've got an
Anointed Procession (I'm not sure what that'll do yet...
) and a
Dragonlord's Prerogative that you now play.
Four Cards and Omniscience on the Field:3
Anointed Procession1
Paradoxical OutcomeNow we play 3
Anointed Procession, which means that any tokens we create will now actually be 16 tokens. Play
Paradoxical Outcome and return all cards to your hand except
Omniscience, and play them all again for free! (You also draw an extra 9 cards)
You see where this is going:4
Mirror March4
Hornet Nest1
Paradoxical OutcomeThis next round is like the last. Each
Hornet Nest on average will produce 16 more (the math involved involves and infinite sum for those of you who are math nerds), so we now have (on average) 80 Hornet Nests. We'll use Paradoxical Results to pull everything back and play it again, giving us (on average) 156 Hornet Nests and 17 more cards. (From now on, I will ignore mentioning that these are averages. Your thumb should be very tired from coin flipping by the end of this.)
Let's make some tokens:1 Angrath's Mauraders
1
Star of ExtinctionWe now draw a
Star of Extinction and are happy to realize that you can destroy our own
Island with it. Let's nuke those 156 Hornet Nests
and produce 99,840 little Insect tokens
. Too bad they don't have haste. Let's look at the other 15 cards we drew.
Speaking of Hornets:4
Panharmonicon1
Naban, Dean of Iteration1
Arcane Adaptation4
Spark Double4
Hornet Queen1
Enter the InfiniteOkay.
Panharmonicon will not only trigger
Hornet Queen's ability multiple times, but
Mirror March's, too. Then add
Naban, Dean of Iteration with
Arcane Adaptation as another
Panharmonicon (his clones all kill themselves in a a tragedy that will make world news
). Then,
Spark Double copying Naban is going to make things go pretty crazy. The first one should create 384 tokens, meaning that now whenever a creature enters the battlefield, it triggers everything 391 times. The next
Spark Double will turn that into 25,415, the next into 1,651,975, and the last into 107,378,375. (From now on, I'll just call that value 107 million to save time.)
Now we play
Hornet Queen. Each one triggers a
Mirror March 429,513,500 times, and each of those is going to create 16 tokens, giving us a total of 6,872,216,004 Hornet Queens, each creating 64 tokens 107 million times, giving us a total of about 47 quintillion (47,227,352,800,000,000,000) Insect tokens. Paradoxical Results was fun and all, but let's draw 24 cards with
Enter the Infinite (put one back) to get into the last phase of this one-turn kill.
Let's double things:4
Second Harvest4
Twinflame4
Repeated Reverberation4
Clone LegionNow we'll take those 47 quintillion Insects and double them 8 times with
Second Harvest and
Twinflame (yes, you are able to target all of them with
Twinflame because it is part of the mana cost). However, each time you double them, you actually multiply them by 17 thanks to
Anointed Procession, so we end up with about 33 octillion tokens.
Repeated Reverberation played 4 times helps us to play
Clone Legion 15 times on the first one, and 18 times total. Skipping the math, we have 4.63 sexdecillion tokens (thank you Cookie Clicker for helping me know these numbers). To help you visualize that number, it looks like this:
4,633,034,760,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
We still have 7 cards in our hand, 4 mystery cards that
Emry, Lurker of the Loch put into our graveyard, and 1 card in out library to work with. Let's see how big these numbers can get!
You thought that Naban was bad:1
Melek, Izzet Paragon4
Displace1
Mirrorwing Dragon1
Clear the MindNow we play
Melek, Izzet Paragon (millions of clones kill themselves; press "f" to pay respects). We need a way to
clone him, though, so we
Displace two of our
Spark Double and have them come in, creating just about 55 billion copies of
Melek, Izzet Paragon. We then play
Mirrorwing Dragon and
Clear the Mind, putting a lot of fun cards into our library for Melek to use (including 4 new ones we haven't seen yet). We also draw a mystery card that will be revealed later.
Playing cards from the top of our deck:1
Essence Flux4
Displace4
Twinflame4
Second Harvest3
Clone Legion4
Repeated Reverberation1
Clone LegionWe are now going to
clone things again, but this time, a lot more. We use
Essence Flux (which gets copied 55 billion times) to resummon a
Spark Double a bunch of times and create 377 quintillion (377,971,880,000,000,000,000) copies of
Spark Double. Then repeat that process with 4 copies of
Displace to give us 133 Novdecillion copies of
Melek, Izzet Paragon (that's 133 followed by 59 zeroes).
Now let's play
Twinflame targeting our 133 Novdecillion creatures and multiplying them by 17 (for estimating purposes, we will assume that it just multiplies our total by 10 instead), then repeat that process 133 Novdecillion times. That gives us a finishing total of about a 1 followed by 133 Novdecillion zeroes. The next one gives us about a 1 followed by (a 1 followed by 133 Novdecillion zeroes) zeroes. This process continued up to
Repeated Reverberation gives us as a very low estimate:
10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10)))))))))))) copies of
Melek, Izzet Paragon.
At this point, the number is incomprehensively huge. We need more tokens than there are estimated atoms in the universe. However, it's still going to get bigger, so I will now refer to each time that I say "10^(...)" as exponizing it. So, the number of tokens we have currently is exponized 13. Exponized 1 is 10. Exponized 2 is 1 followed by 10 zeroes (10 billion). Exponized 3 is 1 followed by 10 billion zeroes (we have now passed google, a famous number). Exponized 4 is 1 followed by that many zeroes. Repeat that process 9 more times, and it gets huge. Really huge.
Let's try
Repeated Reverberation now. Each 4 Repeated Reverberations cast will lead to an extra digit in the number of times the spell played after it will be cast (it's actually some number more like 3.3, but we're just doing a low estimate now). So, when we cast (exponized 13)/4 copies of
Repeated Reverberation, we can estimate that we are going to cast exponized 13 extra copies of
Clone Legion, which actually just is going to copy it as much as all of those Meleks, so it doesn't make a huge difference. We now have exponized 14 token creatures sitting around.
The other four cards:1 Breaking //Entering
1 Might of Masses
1
Polymorphous Rush1
Lose CalmMaking that number bigger is actually starting to get boring, so let's look at the new, interesting cards we got. First, we cast a bunch of copies of
Breaking // Entering. Our opponent would need a deck larger than our almost infinitely-large stack of tokens we brought with us to the kitchen table. You also can steal any creatures that they dumped from their graveyard and copy them over a googleplex times with haste. However, because our opponent might have a Leyline of Sanctitiy, so we need a
backup plan.
We have three different cards that will make our army have massive attack power, have haste, and all be a copy of target creature we control (we would use Mirrorwing Drake to make
Might of the Masses stronger). However, what creature should we transform our army into, and what about that last card we drew?
The Secret Strategy:1
BiovisionaryThat's right.
Biovisionary is our secret weapon. As you read his ability, you should note that in this case, we fall under the "or more" category, and are able to win the game this end step. We use
Polymorphous Rush to turn our whole army into
Biovisionary and will win the game this end step. However, that is a one-turn win, not a one-turn kill, so we first put
Lose Calm and Might of Masses on the stack (actually, a very large number of each of those cards for each creature you control), targeting everything via Mirrorwing Drake, then turn everything into copies of
Biovisionary, who will all receive the buffs.
Let us step back and imagine that inside of each atom of the universe, there was actually another universe with it's own little atoms. Then, inside of each of those atoms, there was another, even smaller universe with it's own atoms. We are playing a game against each one of these miniscule atoms, of which there are an incredible number. It will forever be recorded in history as the most massive game of MTG ever played; however, we will now be remembered as the jerks who ruined it by swinging at each opponent with thousands of thousands of creatures, each able to overkill a player zillions of times over, ending the game before anyone else got to take a turn.
And we never went infinite.
