Pfft, you didn't even go infinite.
Well, this wasn't a deck designed to abuse an infinite loop, it was just a standard one.  You'd hope they don't put infinite game breaking loops into prebuilt decks...

Although I swear there are always some cards which you can look at and just know they can be used in an infinite loop of some kind.  I guess "Whenever" or an ability that can be used infinity times in one turn is a good indicator.

I don't think that is exactly the same card I am thinking of.

THOUGH it probably is.
changeling is a new ability that came in Lorwyn, a Changeling creature is a creature that is all creature types at anytime but since its labeled as changeling technically hostile spells shouldn't work.

Some cards are just obvious that they were made just for infinite loops.

Mirs for example had obvious infinite loops likely as the staple of their deck type.

Yeah I am aware of what a Changeling is. Though shouldn't hostile spells work? Mind you I was refering to an ability of a specific sliver I seen that was used for a REALLY annoying Sliver Loop (the loop was a Sliver that gives all other Slivers defender AND lets you draw a card everytime a sliver enters the battlefield including that card)

Dormant Sliver is what you are talking about from Planar Chaos

and you are right about the hostile spells working, though it shouldn't.

The way of looking at it is this way: Changeling is a short cut to having a creature with every creature type written in.

True but the changeling part should protect it as its still labeled as Changeling, anyways the newest trolls in Magic is the Eldrazi bar none, worse than elves and slivers combined.

Yeah I have to agree there.

Given my main legal deck is a Proliferate deck (Contangion Clasp, Contagion Engine, Rewind Clock, and Titan Forge to give you an idea) and I have to almost get the perfect hand and draws to fend off even a mediocre Eldrazi deck... I can see why.

I still remember one time I lost... It was still an entertaining fight because I managed to kill several big Eldrazi with huge combos that added over 20 negative counters in a single turn. Still lost because he kept summoning more.

Still no idea how I am going to do a new zombie deck even when I have the cards... IT would have to be a Blue, Black, Green...

They apparently updated the login interface for the library computers, adding a new step or two to actually get on the damn thing. What's more, under one of the headings where it shows how much time you get, it said "Session Charge". I hope it doesn't mean they're going to charge people to use the computer.

More likely that's to handle things like printer charges. My library uses the same system.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Man that was a ridiculous final turn.  How could I even do this legally.  Our Yugioh games never ended this crazily.

Come to think of it I had a mana spare to play Llanowar Elves (and thus get another 5 tokens).
There has to be a rule against that. There just has to be.
There is one. It's called Wrath of God. Or in this case, Pyroclasm.
Oh wait, instant speed? Then you're looking at Volcanic Fallout.

Consume The Meek might work. It would definitely remove all the tokens at least.

Also looking back, there's Tsabo's Decree.

Interestingly Toony's next card was something that could have nuked all of my creatures except the Allosaurus if he had enough goblins to tap for it (at least I think it would kill Heedless One, since it would take a 5 damage then suddenly drop to 2 toughness).

I REALLY gotta get into these games... Hmmm

How much does it cost to hire someone to kidnap toony and replace him with toony?
