If I have 2x Oblivion Ring, and 1 Captain of the Watch, can I make infinite soldier tokens?

Asked by Evehorizon 9 years ago

Obviously if I can I need some sort of destroy target enchantment to stop it too.

No, it's not infinite. Captain of the Watch is in play. You cast Oblivion Ring A and it grabs Captain of the Watch . You cast Oblivion Ring B and target Oblivion Ring A with the trigger. Captain of the Watch comes back and nothing else happens. Oblivion Ring A is stuck under Oblivion Ring B.

That won't work, unfortunately. If you use the first Oblivion Ring to exile Captain of the Watch , then exile the Oblivion Ring with the other Oblivion Ring , Captain will re-enter and make more tokens and the first O-Ring will... stay exiled. Nothing more will happen then. There is no infinite combo.

There are other ways to do it though.

For instance, Fiend Hunter , Angel of Glory's Rise and a sac outlet, which is usually done by milling them all into the graveyard and reanimating Angel of Glory's Rise . You then use Fiend Hunter trigger to hideaway Angel of Glory's Rise . Sac the whole board to get it back into the graveyard, returning Angel of Glory's Rise , rinse and repeat. Any ETB creature, that's also human, can have its ability triggered infinite times.

Granted there are various mill or kill combos with this as well, so infinite dudes isn't really necessary.

I think this would work if you had 3x Oblivion Ring though.

Ramz-E That wouldn't work either. O-Ring 1 exiles the Captain, then O-Ring 2 exiles O-Ring 1 and Captain comes back, so you get some soldiers. O-Ring 3 then enters, exiling O-Ring 2, which brings O-Ring 1 back, which exiles Captain. Then nothing else happens.

What you're thinking of is the infinite loop that occurs with 3 O-Rings and nothing else. If you had a permanent that triggered when an enchantment ETB, you could trigger that infinitely with 3 O-Rings.
