Is Mikaeus + Arcbound Reclaimer infinite?

Asked by TheOfficialCreator 1 year ago

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed would seemingly allow you to kill Arcbound Reclaimer infinitely, following this process.

  1. Have Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Arcbound Reclaimer on the battlefield.

  2. Remove two +1/+1 counters from Arcbound Reclaimer, killing it as a state-based action.

  3. It has undying, allowing it to return with a +1/+1 counters on it, since at the time the death trigger went on the stack it had no counters left.

  4. Rinse and repeat.

Does that work, or am I missing something about the way undying or state-based actions work?

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed also gives other non-human creatures +1/+1 so your Arcbound Reclaimer will not die to SBAs.

Your Arcbound Reclaimer will be a 3/3 (a 1/1 with two +1/+1 counters on it). Removing the two +1/+1 counters will make it a 1/1 so it will not die to SBAs.
