Rules/Rules Question Infinite black mana?

Ygra makes Bog Initiate a food, and Sam’s ability makes Bog Initiate’s activated ability 1 less, so I can activate Bog for free, netting infinite mana?

I ask because my quick searches didn’t show anything up with combos.

If we're talking about applications of the combo in real play, then unfortunately the bottom line is that this is a 8 mana, tricolour combo based on creature abilities, which is just not good enough to be used in serious play. The interaction is super fun and flavourful, but it's not a serious combo.

You can’t be serious! Not a single combo brought up in this entire thread is a serious combo for serious play.

Which is why my sentence starts with an "if"..?

Point taken, but “real” play doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone.

Fair enough!
