Can I use Ashnod's Altar + Clay Statue with Urza, High Lord Artificer to go infinite?
Asked by imSAJ 4 years ago
Would I be able to do this by tapping Clay Statue for a blue mana with Urza’s ability then sacrifice if with Ashnod's Altar use the two colorless mana to regenerate Clay Statue and continue to tap it for mana? Or would I not be able to tap Clay Statue once it is regenerated. I think it would be an interesting infinite combo.

I think you may be misunderstanding how regeneration works. Regenerating a creature means that the next time it would be destroyed instead you remove it from combat, remove all damage marked on it and tap it. Regeneration does not return a creature from the graveyard to the battlefield and it does not prevent sacrifices.
701.14a If the effect of a resolving spell or ability regenerates a permanent, it creates a replacement effect that protects the permanent the next time it would be destroyed this turn. In this case, “Regenerate [permanent]” means “The next time [permanent] would be destroyed this turn, instead remove all damage marked on it and tap it. If it’s an attacking or blocking creature, remove it from combat.”
