DISCUSS: The social acceptability of “accidentally infinite” combos in your deck

“Wouldn’t mind getting your input on a scenario that happened to me this week. I have a deck that I have worked to make as fair as possible by taking out the infinite combos but I accidently found one on Monday and won with it.  Now I’m not sure how to proceed.”

Adam

• Nothing wrong with combos
• Could limit the loop count
• Also: 2 card combo or crazy interaction
• Game 2?
• Take something out
