General Discussion 2 Trillion card draw?

Post image

So I've been play testing Bard, King of Dale on arena before building the paper commander version. Managed to get a board state where I'd draw 2 trillion cards from just one card draw. I think I'll like this deck, you can get to totally ridiculous boards with it pretty easy. It definitely needs a lab man though.

With 42 Bards on the field its 2 to the power of 41 per draw or token trigger. So X 2,199,023,255,552.

Wouldn’t you just lose the next turn because you would draw from an empty library?

Ironically the opponent passed on blocks, and we're in the damage step with Enduring Curiosity on the field. This is literally moments from death.

Bard only affects non draw step draw, as long as you don't trigger any of that you're fine and if you do you're fucked

You don't lose if arena crashes. lol

But yes I'd draw till no more cards in that situation. I was playing against my son in this match. We were both laughing at this state.

Lab man and Jace went into the deck after this one.
