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
