Slimefoot, the Stowaway interaction with Sanguine Bond
Asked by Danno1011 5 years ago
My friends and I recently determined that if a saproling died while Slimefoot, the Stowaway and Sanguine Bond were out that it would create an infinite life drain/gain effect like Sanguine Bond and Exquisite Blood. After thinking about it I don't think this is true. A saproling died so each player loses a life, controller gains one and because of sanguine one opponent would lose another life but no more because another saproling would need to die to start the chain over. Am I correct?

You're correct. Slimefoot, the Stowaway's ability only triggers when a Saproling you control dies. Sanguine Bond's ability doesn't result in anything dying (except, occasionally, your opponents).
To create a loop, you need an ability that causes life loss whenever you gain life.

Yes, your assumption is correct. Sanguine Bond will trigger exactly once (per saproling that died) from Slimefoot, so essentially this will double the lifeloss of a single opponent. But it is not infinite.
