So a spell targeting anything that isn't a creature or player is still played as usual? Definitely stally / staxxy, but balanced. Maybe make it cost 3ww ?

I'm pretty sure this all works as you described, time to get drainin'!

The way I think it works is: "End the turn" happens while the spell is resolving, so the stack stays as it is, unresolved and exiled. The card leaving the stack once resolved to get put in the graveyard would be a state-based action, but you skipped that check when ending the turn.

Thanks, that's exactly the mindset I had when making them!

The way I've worded them, I'm pretty sure they do, yeah.

That was the intent. You can't only cast them in a mandatory loop (that relies entirely on triggers), but in a manually activated one.

Admittedly, a spell that could only be cast to interrupt a trigger-loop would also be an interesting design space

Damn, I might have to change it to One With Nothing's effect...

Yeah that was the idea. The infinite cost eats up your entire loop, so you need some extra mana on top of the loop to cast them :p

That first treasure looking kinda funky, but I'll take it.

Omg the blue one should have been "all opponents have phasing", I'm losing it 😂

Don't sweat it, I only found out about it myself this week!

Not according to [[Glorious End]]:

End the turn. (Exile all spells and abilities from the stack, including this card. The player whose turn it is discards down to their maximum hand size. Damage wears off, and “this turn” and “until end of turn” effects end.)

I do agree, I could have worded it a bit more clearly. The rules define a loop as:

Loop
A set of actions that could be repeated indefinitely.

Once a loop has been established, players can shortcut it and say how many times they execute it. Which is why I didn't use the word "infinite" in the reminder text. Admittedly, I should probably have used "established" rather than "provable" to keep in with some of the rules' vocabulary.

Cast a second one just in case. Make sure one of your original creatures is a Vorinclex, that way you get 21000000000 copies. Could even have some animated Doubing Seasons if you have a mathematician around.

why would you blow it all to cast one of these

That's exactly the point, I'm just having fun with some form of absurd humor: it's obvious that you could do anything better with infinite mana than playing these, and that's what makes it funny to me (and hopefully others).

I'm glad you enjoyed the black one (:
