Can Wall of Blood became an infinite/infinite with Enduring Angel Flip?
Asked by calvo099 1 year ago
Suppouse i have a Wall of Blood on the battlefield and an Enduring Angel Flip. Can i pay all my life with Wall of Bloods activated ability, then when the ability of Enduring Angel Flip triggers, hold my priority, pay life again, and since i have negative life, the ability triggers again and so on in order to get it to infinite? or do i just automatically lose when i respond to the ability the first time and doesn't trigger again?
Thank you!

No, this doesn't work. Enduring Angel Flip doesn't have a triggered ability (an ability that starts with "when", "whenever", or "at"). Rather, it has a replacement effect (most often indicated by "instead", "as", or "with") that replaces the event of your life total being reduced to 0 or less. You don't have an opportunity to respond to the replacement effect being applied, it just happens in place of the event it's replacing. If you're at 1 life and activate Wall of Blood, instead of your life total going to 0, Enduring Angel will transform and set your life total to 3 (the Wall activation will still resolve). You can't interrupt this.
Another note: the rules of the game don't allow for "infinity" as a value. You need to choose a point to stop so that the game can keep moving and actually use whatever big number you stop at.

Oh, thank you!
I learnt a lot with your answer, it was really informative.

Btw, something i didn't mention on the question is that the idea of getting Wall of Blood to inifite/infinite is to get to inifite life with Children of Korlis after that. (i assume this is correct since i would have lost inifite life in the process, but correct me if i'm wrong)
