HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA literally. That would be so annoying. All that for one card.

I'd mill one card at a time if i did this.

... you can't mill one card at a time with this. you have to tap sands for its ability so you'd need to generate the appropriate mana (which this combo does) and then mill what you want.

Infinite blue mana generated with combo.
Tap sands using one mana to mill one.
Flick exarch to untap sands.
Repeat.

you can't untap the sands because you're untapping the lotus.

He's saying flicker exarch, tapping and untapping lotus generation a million mana. Then mill 1, flicker exarch, untap delirium, repeat.

I hold no grudges, nor does it amuse me at your expense, when dealing with infinite mana. It is a hard concept to truly internalize after being trained for so long with a finite amount.

Truly infinite mana doesn't exist.  Only "arbitrarily large" amounts.  You still have to specify a number like 3 billion.

Why mill on at a time instead of all at once?  What's the advantage?
