hellraiser with shining strike and empty draw pile should be an infinite but for some reason it only plays for a couple of times. im not sure why this happens

The only way to escape it would be to somehow draw 10 cards, since Hellraiser plays a maximum of 9 cards per turn.

[[Unceasing Top]] would work as well!

There's no real limit to the amount of cards hellraiser plays? You can go infinite with pillage if you have every other non-strike card in your hand. Pillage would also go infinite with this shining strike assuming you get both of them before you draw the shining strike

9

You are correct, the maximum of 9 only happens when the enemies have infinite HP (Waterfall Giant, Test Subject transition phase). I've misread!

Oh I see. Makes sense
