Did I just discover an infinite combo in standard?
Asked by DarkJaxter 12 years ago
Scion of Vitu-Ghazi is in play under my control. I cast Cackling Counterpart , targeting Scion of Vitu-Ghazi . I get the 1/1 Flying Bird token, then I populate. I target the Scion of Vitu-Ghazi token with the populate effect, repeating the process until I want to target a Bird token instead to end the loop.

Unfortunately, no, because you have to cast it from your hand to get the populate effect.

There are a few infinite combos in Standard, though not many (if any) are 2-card combos

You don't get anything except the Scion of Vitu-Ghazi token. Note that its ETB ability specifies that you only get a Bird and populate if you cast Scion of Vitu-Ghazi from your hand. You don't cast tokens, so you can't go infinite.
Also, populate doesn't target anything.
