Infinite Combo???
Asked by JessyGreen 5 years ago
Would Mirage Mirror and Combat Celebrant create infinite combat phases?

But according to the rules of Exert:
701.38b A permanent can be exerted even if it’s not tapped or has already been exerted in a turn. If you exert a permanent more than once before your next untap step, each effect causing it not to untap expires during the same untap step.

No, zane is right. The card specifically states you can't exert it. However Helm of the Host does go infinite. (With so many things)

For future reference, please use the Rules Q&A section when you have questions about rules, cards, or card interactions. I have moved your thread for you.
Unlike the regular forums, you can “mark as answer” a post, which helps with forum organisation. If you could please do so once you no longer have any questions, that would be appreciated.
To build off zaneanderman’s correct answer, and Flooremoji’s follow-up, here is the rule showing why 701.38b does not control:
101.1. Whenever a card’s text directly contradicts these rules, the card takes precedence. The card overrides only the rule that applies to that specific situation. The only exception is that a player can concede the game at any time (see rule 104.3a).

That rule 101 ^ that was just quoted is one of the most important rules you'll ever read.

No, because Combat Celebrant says "if this card has not been exerted"
