Yes?  No?  If yes, do you also have other combos or cards built in that can circumvent infinite life?

IIRC, the only three things we have that can garner infinite life is Staff of Domination, W/W/W/W/W, and Swords on a Firebreather. Obviously, that means we have firebreathers that can circumvent infinite life, as well Agonizing Demise/Grab the Reins/Captain's Maneuver/Bloodshot Cyclops on a Firebreather, Nezumi/Bosh, Door to Nothingness, Biorythym, and Quanar (no limit) to counter infy life. We used to have Blessing Wind, and we may add Sway of the Stars eventually. There are a few more silly ones that never happen, but overall infy life isn't a huge problem. I am more than happy to get it, sure, but of course with it comes a huge target. It's better than most targets, as there are only a select few things they can do against it, but if all your opponents work together effectively and you can't come up with an efficient clock, infy life is far from game over.

When I get one, I will be running Who/What/When/Where/Why, and I'm already running Staff of Domination.  There's a few combos that gain infini life as well, but those are less common (IE. X/X and StoP).

I don't think there even is a way to get infinite life using only champions/betrayers T4 playable cards. That's fine by me, though. I don't even run gamerobber or the black myojin.

Yes, but we have close to a dozen firebreathers, some with haste or shadow, and 2 X damage spells.

Yes, but largely by accident, since I didn't realize it was there until I read this thread.

The combo was Testament of Faith/STP.

There are a couple of combos in my stack that allow for infinite life, but they are somewhat obscure.  In addition, there are also a couple of combos that provide for infinite damage.  I've only seen either happen once or twice.

there porbably are a few ways to gain infinite life in my stack, but we have like a million firebreathers, so it cannot be too bad.

I think the only way to get infinite life in my stack involves Gleemax, eg Reviving Vapors into Gleemax, Awe Strike on Boshing Gleemax etc.

However, we have many ways to deal with a lot of life, eg Phage, Aggravated Assault, Door to Nothingness, Chainer/Kokusho/Clone. We don't run Nezumi Graverobber or Glarecaster.

I -think- the only way in my stack involves Chainer, Ancestor's Chosen, and Pain Kami with you having at least 7 or more cards in your graveyard.

I used to have Book of Rass in my stack and it comboed with Words of Worship, so I took it out.

I'm playing Sway the Stars and Blessed Wind which are both obv great countermeasures, plus they piss off the guy with Tower of Eons.

there are TONS of ways in my stack to get infinite life.  the funniest way i've seen it is someone playing kokusho, then I played chainer, stealing it, then killing it (via a Fervered convulsions), rince, and repeat.

i happened to kil TWO people at Infy life, one by STP a firebreather, and the other by Captains Manuevering said firebreather.
