Infinite mana outlet findable off of saga? say no more!

Infinite mana generator findable off saga? (With permanents that tap for 5 or more, which are admittedly rare)

Not in elves

Even worse, it's both an infinite mana enabler AND mana sink

Write 5 cards this goes infinite with. That don't require at least 5 other cards of a specific type to do so.

That seems like enough hoops to jump through, this isn't any more powerful than most existing similar effects.

Oh yeah I don't think this is busted. off the top of my head [[Chromatic Orrery]]. its more of an outlet than an actual infinite combo tho.

[[nyx lotus]] [[nykthos shine to nyx]] [[empowered autogenerator]]

They all take some setup but can go infinite pretty easily. Autogenerator just requires enough mana, nykthos and nyx lotus just require enough colored permanents which isn’t especially difficult.

It’s not busted by any means but it’s one of those cards that can go infinite with random piles of stuff.

[[Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary]], [[Selvala, Heart of the Wilds]], [[Priest of Titania]] and [[Marwyn, the Nurturer]] elves love this

There’s tons that go infinite with this but they specifically asked about cards that don’t require a bunch of a specific type of card.

Otherwise I’d have also mentioned urborg, cabal coffers, Gaias cradle, and serras sanctum,

u/Just-Desk-3149 1d ago

I'll give Rofellos and Selvala a pass.

But I also feel like 90% of cards that do go infinite with OP's card are more so the problem than OP's card.

Like Urborg, Cabal, Gaias, and Serras are all powerhouses themselves. 

And ironically, Sol Ring would still get fetched over OP's card 95% of the time.

Helga with at least 3 counters (not difficult to get)

Can you read or count to 5?

They’re being rude but helga mana can only be spent on creatures with cmc 4 or more

u/Just-Desk-3149 2d ago

I asked for 5 cards, they gave me 1 that doesn't count at all.

This makes the [[Timeless Lotus]] modern deck actually good, maybe even busted

u/Tjarem 2d ago

To many consigns in the format. Its the reason why belcher is not very well placed too.

This seems like it enables a bunch of infinites but I don't know which specific ones, so... it's a thing that exists! Yay!
