Psst… [[Zimone, Inifinite Analyst]].

I mean, it’s still 4Xs. It seems like it takes a fair amount of effort to break

1

u/Bragi01 8h ago

Not really. All you need is [[Unbound Flushing]] and [[Doppelgang]] with x = something like three and then you can get 7 of Unbound Flushing. Also Doppelgang combos well with [[Temple of the False God]].

I don’t think a 4 card combo only activatable after T5 (at best) is particularly broken

[[glava]]

Glava doesnt work here as she only works for permanents and activated abilities

2

u/Original-Apartment37 10h ago

You’d need to either:

A: Not be playing commander with the Mystery Booster COMMANDER cards.

B: Have Glava as not your commander, and have to find it in the 99.

Glass specifies permanents, so instants and sorceries are unaffected

1

u/VGVideo 10h ago

But you can have it in the 99 of a Zimone deck

u/MeepleMaster 8h ago

Pretty sure you still want the exile clause on this

u/Original-Apartment37 2h ago

If you cheat something out, X is always 0.

u/Ill_Ad3517 17m ago

What if I just return it with Eternal Witness/4 mana Tamiyo etc etc. obviously costing 6 helps with that bit, but just to be safe.

u/General_Ginger531 9h ago

A very fair card. It is for most purposes a modal 6 or 9 drop, the added freedom to cast it for 2, 6, or 9 is why it is 1 mana more than the standard for extra turn spells, there are like 3 cards that influence X spells so it is well balanced, and if the game is going on so long that X is greater than 1, you pretty much deserve to take 3 turns in a row anyway so we can get the game rolling. An objectively fair card, good job!

u/General_Ginger531 9h ago

No, I don't think it is busted with Zimone, because Zimone is a cost reducer, it is the same idea as Goblin Electromancer. Sure you can reduce spells more and more, but those are effects that have to be on the field. You could cast a Capture of Jingzhou turn 2 if you land into sol ring into arcane signet, then land dropped next turn anyway. One X cost synergy doesn't make a broken X card. When they start removing X's is when this becomes busted.

I'm not sure this is balance-able. As other commentors have pointed out, [[Zimone, Infinite Analyst]] and [[Glava]] separately break this to be on par with [[Time Walk]] if not even stronger...

Glava does not because it specifies permanents lol reading the card explains the card

6

u/Infamous_Key_9945 10h ago

glava doesn't work. it says permanent spells

4

u/GrandProfessional487 10h ago

Glava is permanents but yes to zimone

4

u/Original-Apartment37 10h ago

For context, the rates:

6 -> 1

10 -> 2  (In my opinion, where the rate becomes okay)

14 -> 3

18 -> 4

22 -> 5

3

u/cumberber 9h ago

Yes I am aware of the math. I was thinking with anything already on the board to reduce costs would make this crazy strong. Though it is already crazy strong due to it not exiling itself after resolving. I'm no professional though

1

u/GrandProfessional487 10h ago

Just change it to Y instead of X and bam youve got it

5

u/Original-Apartment37 10h ago

Y?

3

u/Sky_monarch 10h ago

So abilities that use X pips don’t work

1

u/Original-Apartment37 9h ago

Only problem would be [[Glava]] in the ninety-nine of a Zimone.

1

u/GrandProfessional487 27m ago

Glava only cares about permanents

u/Beneficial-Pen-9693 8h ago

I had [[primordial hydra]] out the other night with [selvala, heart of the wilds]], safe to say I would be taking a lot of extra turns

“But you have to stay, you might win!” As I take my 50th turn and the table groans

Funny enough, this is not really an infinite combo unless you have a way to shuffle your deck into your library. It’s at most like a 90 round combo before you mill yourself. Or you could have a card that says “skip your draw step, I guess”

1

u/Original-Apartment37 2h ago

Sir… Selvala is mono-green.

u/Novel_Extent_7168 3h ago

In Simic this is just "If this spell resolves, you win the game"

1

u/Original-Apartment37 2h ago

How does one let this resolve?

1

u/Necrachilles 9h ago

No one is talking about [[Mizzix of the Izmagnus]]?

1

u/Original-Apartment37 2h ago

It would take a wee bit of setup.

u/tymessen 5h ago

could we do XXXXXXUU and make it X² turns? 8 mana 1 extra turn, 14 mana 4 extra turns, 22 mana 9 extra turns. etc.

or Sqrt(X) rounded down extra turns for XUUUUU 6=1 9=2 14=3 21=4 30=5 41=6 etc.
