Is Seismic Assault + Crucible of Worlds an Infinite Combo?
Asked by APPLE01DOJ 8 years ago
Just curious if Seismic Assault + Crucible of Worlds + a land in the graveyard works the way I think it does.
The fifth dawn printing of crucible says "You may play land cards from your graveyard as if they were in your hand".
It is infinite just not immediate. You'd need to be able to play an unlimited number of lands as you are still limited to one per turn regardless of where it was played from. Note that "put blah onto the battlefield" doesn't count as playing.

Oops, thought it read sacrifice a land, my bad. Also like Wurmlover said, discard specifically means from your hand to the graveyard, it has in game meaning.

"Playing a land" means using one of your special actions on each of your turns to put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield.
"Discarding a card" means moving that card from your hand to your graveyard.
Crucible of Worlds allows you to play land cards from your graveyard. This doesn't mean that those lands are in your hand, so you can't discard them.
Also, note that cards are always treated according to their oracle text, NOT their printed text. Even if Crucible of Worlds still said "as if," though, it would work because "as if X" doesn't mean "X is true."

I think the key phrase here is "as if". since they aren't in your actual hand, you can't discard them.
