Can you get infinite copies of a spell if you control 3 wild ricochets?
Asked by megapenthes 11 years ago
I'm pretty certain with two you can get infinite copies of wild ricochet, but they'll all be targeting each other in a long line from the original, and only one of your wild ricochets can target an existing spell on the stack.
However, I feel like if you have 3 you could get infinite copies of the spell, but I can't quite get my head around it.
I'm thinking of making a Melek EDH deck and I'm pretty excited about the corner case where I have strionic resonator and Melek out, and there is a wild ricochet on the top of my library.
No, doesn't work. You need to create two copies of the targeted spell from Wild Ricochet. Otherwise, you always have to use the copy on Wild Ricochet to keep the chain going.
Also, that's not correct on how it works with two. You only ever have 3 spells on the stack (including the existing spell), because to create a copy, one of them has to resolve. Then the new copy targets the original Wild Ricochet and resolves, creating another copy which has to resolve to create a copy, and so on.

Wild Ricochet doesn't let you cast the copy that it creates, and if it did it wouldn't be cast from your library, so that copy won't trigger Melek, Izzet Paragon 's second ability.
