  kill living beings
  

  you CAN'T
  
  i JUST DID
  
  i like that this basically amounts to what would be an exploit that a judge would throw out in an actual card game
  
  also, i bet cantor would be pretty good at yu-gi-oh

  Sup bitches, witches, Haters, and trolls.

  there are infinite loops in every card game

  
  

  even poker

  
  

  that said IIRC in magic you cant just say "i go infinite" you have to declare a number, you can just make it like 3 trillion

  
  

  unless of course the loop is out of your control in which case i think it's illegal?

  
  

  i know infinite loops that are outside the players control are illegal in yu-gi-oh

  quick google search suggests that infinite loops in magic trigger an immediate draw.

  
  

  i know chess has a draw from threefold repetition, and then go has the ko rule that forbids repetition outright

  There are, and unless a player has a way of cancelling the loop (i.e. destroying a component of it), the game is a draw.
  
  The most infamous example is Worldgorger Dragon + Animate Dead. When Worldgorger Dragon enters the battlefield, all other cards you control are removed from play. When it leaves the battlefield, all the cards are returned.
  
  Animate Dead takes a creature from your graveyard and puts it on the battlefield for as long as Animate Dead is in play, so casting it on the Dragon causes the following:
  
  1) Worldgorger Dragon enters the battlefield
  2) All cards you control, including Animate Dead, are removed from the battlefield
  3) Worldgorger Dragon is now dead again.
  4) All your cards come back to the battlefield, including Animate Dead, and the Dragon comes back to life.
  5) Return to step 1.

  Whores! we want "poems that kill."
  Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
  guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
  and take their weapons leaving them dead

  And then there's stuff like Ded Mikaeus and Triskelion

  pulling it off should make the user easy to execute

  
  

  and doing it in EDH gets them a good flogging beforehand

  My dreams exceed my real life

  Does this prove Ancient Egyptian mathematics was more sophisticated than we knew?
