Is Wall of Blood + Angel's Grace an Infinite Combo
Asked by RiosXX3 8 years ago
Wall of Blood says you can pay 1 life to give it +1/+1, and Angel's Grace says that if damage would reduce you to less then 1 life it reduces you to 1 instead. Since you're always stuck at one life could you continuously pay the one life from wall of blood and put infinite +1/+1 counters on it?
@Metroid_Hybrid I know that, but Angel's grace says that if damage would reduce you to less then 1, it reduces you to 1 instead. If your always at 1 life, then you do have 1 life to pay and therefor aren't paying with life that you don't have. I'm fully aware that once you're at less then 1 then you can no longer pay life. I was more focused on the "can't be reduced to lower then 1 life" part then I was on the "Can't lose the game" part.

so the thing is that your paying life it's not damage so you would just end up killing your self. since losing life is not the same thing as taking damage. The best way I can explain is take Fog for example. let's say you Lightning Bolt someone and they fog cause they are only at 2 life. well that prevents all damage this turn but not life loss so you could cast Prying Questions and it would make them lose life the same works for this combo

Though damage usually causes loss of life, damage and life loss aren't the same thing. If you're at 1 life and you pay to activate Wall of Blood then you'll go to 0. Angel's Grace won't keep you at 1.

Ok thank you Rhadamanthus and mavoricke for the help. That cleared it up for me.

Fog only prevents combat damage, so it would do nothing to stop Lightning Bolt. Comeuppance is what you'd want.

I thought there was one green spell that just mitigates all damage

Dromoka's Command and Rith's Charm are the only green spells that can stop Lightning Bolt's damage.

No, you can't pay life that you do not have..
