Two iron Myr, Two Myr Galvanizers, burn spells in your hand, and Tamiyo's ultimate emblem on the field.
INFINITE BURN E'ERYWHEEEERE

Or, if you're not playing in Standard:

Tamiyo's emblem, 1 burn spell, 1 Simian Spirit Guide.

The burnination will be complete. And smell like monkey hair.

My friend actually had a deck built around the infinite mana trick to instantly win at our MP table with a single fireball.

Nobody played counterspells in our little group, so after he did it the first time we made sure he never had creatures again.

That doesn't work; The spirit guide goes into the exile area, not the graveyard.

Y'know, I never noticed that. Dammit.

All right then, just use Seething Song, Pyretic Ritual, Desperate Ritual, or Rite of Flame instead.

Izzet Guildmage+Lava Spike+Desperate Ritual combo:

Now just Lava spike+Desperate Ritual (I think)

Let's see. Pay 1 mana to play Lava spike. Splic in Desperate Ritual. Use that three mana to repeat oh god

A combo to do infinite damage that my friend uses:

Two Brighthearth Bannerets (which make your Elementals cost 1 less to cast)
Grinning Ignus (costs 2R, and for R you can return it to your hand and add 2R to your mana pool
Cinder Pyromancer (tap to do 1 damage to a player, you may untap it whenever you cast a red spell
I forget the name, but it's some flying scarecrow artifact creature that you can pay 2 colorless to get one of any color or something...point is, it lets you turn the extra 2 from returning the Grinning Ignus to your hand into one red so you can cast it forever and keep hitting them with the Pyromancer each time.

Add an artifact that gives you 1 life whenever you cast a red spell and you also gain infinite life.

Anybody know how many go-infinite combos are out there?

[kaijyuu]

Quite a few, I believe. I got hit with infinite 1/1 squirrels once.

My personal favorite is the Kikki-Jikki/Intruder Alarm/Sisters of the Flame/Soldier of Fortune combo.

The goal is not to win by knocking your opponent to 0 life. It is to win by forcing them to shuffle until their deck is physically destroyed. (Or y'know, they concede.)

[JoshuaFH]

That is beyond preposterous. I like it!

For infinite combos, don't you have to specify an actual finite number? Something ridiculous like a billion is effectively the same, but for cases like shuffling the deck, it actually ends at some point.

Plus there's probably some rule against stalling tactics. Otherwise you could just turn it into a staring contest if you never end your turn.

There have been changes to the official rules specifically to combat "Asshole Tactics", but I honestly can't remember any off the top of my head. This might be one of those.

You don't do it all at once. You just make him shuffle once, then say 'I activate the ability again'.

And yeah, I wouldn't try it in an actual tournament - they have 'unnecessary delay of game' rules for people like me who want to build 200-card decks of nothing but Shahrazad and ways to wish it in from outside the game/recur it, with a single Prodigal Sorceror to shoot the other player for the final life point after repeatedly halving his life total through him running out of library in the subgames.

Oh god.  I was hoping for a little nostalgia in this thread, but all I got was a WTF-moment. 

Background:  Started playing when Ice Age was released, quit before those three Urza's sets were released.  Got back in very briefly when Coldsnap (bought a box of that one) was released.  Haven't kept up since. 

So ... are there any new(ish?) single-player MtG games anymore?  Is MtG Online still around?  I think I tried that out back when slivers were new (oh man, I loved me some slivers).  What's currently available for online play (pros/cons?) and is anyone here on it?  I wouldn't mind getting back in somewhat, but it'd have to be something online
