if you put 2 Norin the Wary in play, does it make an infinite combo

Asked by TUMTUM 8 years ago

I was just wondering if you put a Norin the Wary and another one, doesn't it make a infinite combo of just bouncing each other?

No.

• You control Norin the Wary and cast another one. Norin1 is exiled.
• Norin2 resolves.
• Other stuff happens...
• You move to the End of Turn Step.
• Norin1 returns to the battlefield.
• State-Based Actions are checked. The game sees two legendary creatures with the same name. You have to move one Norin to the graveyard.

If Norin2 got exiled, too, they will return at the same time, and then you will have to move one to the graveyard.

Note that Norin triggers whenever you cast a spell, not whenever a creature enters the battlefield. And even then it wouldn't work, because State-Based-Actions are checked before any abilities resolve.

One minor correction, if both are exiled they will return sequentially as their delayed triggered abilities resolve, not simultaneously. The end result is the same with one going to the grave though.
