Goblin Tribal, Infinite Mana
Asked by Novacast 5 years ago
So I was wondering if this was possible. If I have 4 Skirk Prospector out, and I use them to sacrifice my Squee, the Immortal can I generate 4 red mana this way, cast Squee infinitely, generate infinite red mana then Banefire for infinite damage?
Alright thanks Boza I figured as much, but you can never be too sure. I found another way to get infinite mana off Squee so I'm not too bummed, and I really appreciate the quick feedback.

For future reference, there's a Rules Q&A section of the website for questions regarding cards, card interactions, and rules. There's usually a bunch of players floating around there to promptly answer your question, and you'll usually get a response faster than with a regular forum thread (though, in this case, you got an answer pretty quickly). I've moved your thread over to there for the sake of organization--if you could please mark an "accepted answer" that would be appreciated!

No. Skirk Prospector's is an activated ability with a cost to sacrifice a goblin. If you paid that cost, you will get . Not .
Activated abilities have a cost and effect. Sacrificing 1 goblin is enough to satisfy 1 prospector's cost, not all of them, and gives you the effect of one Skirk Prospector, not all of them.
For a different example, can you cast a spell that costs , when you have 4 mountains, by tapping only 1 of them? No, you need 4 different ones.
