Title: Riku + Palinchron
Post by: Xaol on February 16, 2013, 10:55:52 AM
I know this is an infinite mana combo. Can someone explain to me how it works?
{Riku of Two Reflections}
{Palinchron}

You copy palinchron's ability with riku, allowing you to untap 14 lands. You only use 9 for the original copy AND the riku copy, so assuming you have 10 lands you will get an additional mana every time. Actually you will get more than 1 mana because each subsequeny copy by riku costs only 2 mana, but allows you to untap and generate 7 mana. So that is how i assume

Assuming you have 7 lands, you can:

Cast Palinchron
Untap for trigger, float 7 mana
Pay 2 for Riku to create a token (5 floating)
Untap land from token's trigger, (5 floating and 7 untapped lands)
Pay 2UU to bounce Palinchron (have 1 floating and 7 untapped lands)
Cast Palinchron (1 floating)
Repeat, with one extra floating for each repetition of the loop.
