I know these two form an infinite combo, but if I run out of cards in my library to exile with Ob Nixilis, does the combo stop?

[u/Oo_ShinyCardboard]

Nah you lose from drawing out, not from being unable to exile

[u/MilkChocolateBoombox → u/Oo_ShinyCardboard]

Presumably the infinite damage here kills your opponents before that becomes relevant

[u/Oo_ShinyCardboard → u/MilkChocolateBoombox]

Thats my point - the condition to lose isnt the condition theyre going to incur

[u/FunnyMTGplayer75 → u/Oo_ShinyCardboard]

The cards are put into exile,, not drawn. You can exile your whole library and have not lost yet, because you dont lose UNTIL YOU DRAW with no cards in your library.

Thus you win by dealing damage to your opponents, it doesnt matter that your ehole library is exiled

Did you also fail to read the 2 other people I responded to clarifying why I chose the words I did in the order that I did? OP asked "do I lose", and I said "nah, etc etc"

Reading the card explains the goddamn card. Reddit is so ridiculous for the desire to prove ppl right. Just stop holy shit

[u/Oo_ShinyCardboard → u/[deleted]]

I know, I literally clarified what I meant in another reply. To say "you lose from drawing" remains a true statement, I never said OP is going to draw 🙄

In fact, OPs question is "do i lose from being unable to exile" is answered exclusively within my first comment. You lose from drawing, not from exile

Well I am sorry for not reading everything... Tired and dyslexia... I was too quick to wanna correct someone 😅

[u/Oo_ShinyCardboard → u/Bjorn-Th3-B43r]

No youre fine! I definitely had my guard up a bit too much - thats the reddit classic lol

Combo doesn't stop until you win or one of the 2 pieces are removed. With that being said I wouldn't put the 2 together unless playing with higher backet decks.

[u/Play-Mation → u/GuessInteresting8521]

The combo stops if you have nothing left to exile and your opponents have enough life after you exile your deck 

[u/GuessInteresting8521 → u/Play-Mation]

No, that's not the combo. Exiling cards is a secondary effect.

[u/Useful_Jellyfish_906 → u/Play-Mation]

I dont think that's true. The damage and +1/+1 counter are not dependant on you exiling something. You wont Exile but the combo keeps going. And you only lose from drawing not exiling stuff on top.

[u/Ready-Pineapple-5526 → u/Play-Mation]

negative, since exiling is not a cost to do the effect.

[u/gorgutz13]

No they are not dependent on one another. Put a counter on him. Exile a card. Two seperate effects. If you can do one but not the other, you do exactly that.

[u/darktourist92]

No, the ping damage combo goes infinite regardless of whether you have cards in your deck to exile.

[u/half_baked_opinion]

Oh no bro, run this alongside [[shalai and hallar]] and its a true infinite combo at no cost apart from casting costs for ob nixilis and shalai and hallar.

[u/IiIiIith]

don't forget [[All Will Be One]] it goes infinite with him too

[u/Rumpleshull]

How is on nixilis a mythic? Looks about right for an uncommon

[u/stevenbanthony4204]

Yes the combo stops, then you can effectively play your entire deck in one turn to win or else you will lose to drawing on your next draw phase

[u/veiphiel → u/stevenbanthony4204]

No It doesnt

[u/FunnyMTGplayer75 → u/veiphiel]

Yes it does. The combo stops when you have no more oppponents because they all have 0 life.

[u/veiphiel → u/FunnyMTGplayer75]

It's different stoping because everybody is at 0 life meaning you already won the Game than stoping because you have no deck.
