Malicious Affliction

Asked by Riv329 7 years ago

How many times can you use Malicious Affliction. If you keep destroying non black creatures can you use this like a board wipe.

From Malicious Affliction's Gatherer page:

• The copy of Malicious Affliction is created on the stack. Its not cast, so the copy wont cause the morbid ability to trigger again.

You can't copy it more than once because when you copy a spell, unless otherwise specified on the card, the copy goes directly on the stack - you aren't casting it. This is also why the storm mechanic doesn't go infinite with itself.

Compare Malicious Affliction to a card like Isochron Scepter- the scepter allows you to CAST the copy, affliction doesn't
