New infinite Combo Felhide Spiritbinder + Flamerush Rider - need a build
Deck Help forum
Posted on Feb. 8, 2015, 6:51 p.m. by Olsen
I was looking through the magic card search and in the results Felhide Spiritbinder and Flamerush Rider were next to each other. I looked at their abilities and holy something, i saw an infinite combo. Here is how it could work.
1- Attack with Felhide Spiritbinder + Flamerush Rider
2- Flamerush Rider makes a copy of Felhide Spiritbinder, the token attacks.
3- cast Triton Tactics or Crypsis to untap Felhide Spiritbinder.
4- Pay 1R (from Felhides ability) to make a token of Flamerush that attacks and makes a token of the other Flamerush Rider for infinite Flamerush. Each token copies another which attacks and sets the chain reaction off.
Question: Does anyone think this can built into an at least okay deck? It sounds fun.

The token copies from Flamerush Rider enter the battlefield tapped and attacking. Any "Whenever ~ attacks..." abilities won't trigger.
11/24/2014: Although the token is attacking, it was never declared as an attacking creature (for purposes of abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks, for example).

that wouldn't be infinite even if it didn't work, since it is limited by both available mana and available untap effects

Well, I think OP assumed you'd use Felhide Spiritbinder for the first copy, and then each token would copy another Flamerush Rider. The hitch is that it doesn't work that way because of the trigger characteristics.

I knew it was too good to be true. . Thanks for the feedback.

It doesn't work.
You declare all of your attackers at once. Once attackers are declared, they're locked in and you can't change the declaration. Then, triggered abilities are put onto the stack.
