Title: Gain all the life
Post by: Aladormax on May 21, 2012, 08:47:20 AM
{darkheart sliver}+{hibernation sliver}+{alluren}= gain all the life

The process is simple sac the darkheart to gain three life, but use the hibernation ability to bring it back to your hand. {alluren} allows you to cast it for free so rinse and repeat.

You can't sacrifice the sliver to pay two separate costs, so it still needs some work

It is on the field. You infinitely gain 1 life as long as {alluren} and {hibernation sliver} are in the field

read it wrong. Thx.

Sacing the sliver is a cost. To pay it hibernation will be in the GY. U cant activate the sliver in response cause there will be no sliver

With just these three cards on the field there is no way to have an infinite life combo. Even if you respond to the "return this permanent" ability by sacrificing (or vice versa), it hits the graveyard and can't be returned to your hand because it's no longer a permanent. Creature cards in graveyards are just creature cards, not permanents.

This is right. And I also believe that you can't activate abilities of creatures in the gy unless the creature card specifically says that you can
