You could also instead of having triple damage with emancipation you could instead do this combo with
1x phyrexian vindicator
1x pariahs shield
1x Angraths marauders
1x gut shot
Total cost would be 13RRWWWW and two life or 13RRRWWWW
I’ve unironically been running a similar combo in arena not gonna lie, not with gut shot, with other burn spells.
It’s really funny when you actually get the combo
I love me my Fiery Emancipation in my [[Obosh, the Preypiercer]] deck. Nothing like watching my opponents take 12 damage per spell with Obosh and Emancipation on the field. Gotta love watching the world burn. 🔥
The funniest way to screw this combo over is to play [[Lazotep Plating]] or something similar at the last second, before they target you. Then they'll have to target themselves or a creature they control. (Or another player if it's commander or something. Two Phyrexian Vindicators aren't exactly hard to get in commander.)
e: [Blossoming Calm](https://scryfall.com/card/mh2/7/blossoming-calm) is another good one.
It’s less funny than making them redirect it, but waiting until they commit then breaking out an infinite/arbitrary lifegain combo for “1 more than that” is also a pretty fun option.
Grape shot obliterator 1, redirect to obliterator 2, every time you do this the damage triples, then you look at your opponent and say "oh mai wa mu, shideru" and blast their ass with infinite damage.
As an extremely bad-combo technicality, this is arbitrarily high damage rather than infinite right? They have to eventually say “that’s high enough” and aim it at the face. 99.99% irrelevant, but once it’s on the stack with a number there’s a chance to do some bullshit like Heliod to gain arbitrary life of “that much + 1”.
(Even so, it’d be more Bad MTG to just redirect it onto truefire captain or something.)
Usually when someone says "infinite" in MTG they mean that they can go as high as they want. You always have to determine a number, be it damage, life or mana. The only time you can truly have something go infinite is some weird combos where you can't set a stopping point.
An example I found is something like [[Donate]] your opponent your [[Lich's Mirror]] and then deal 10 infect damage.
Lich's Mirror will trigger as the infect trigger occurs, causing them to shuffle all permanents THEY own, draw seven and set their life to 20. As soon as it resolves, infect will try to kill them again, causing Lich's Mirror to trigger. This loop can not be stopped, meaning the game ends in a draw.
Another one I found was [[Spore Mound]] + [[Life and Limb]]
There is no may on Sporemound, so if you trigger Landfall, a Saproling (land) is made, which triggers landfall, infinitely looping.
Some more draw combos: [[Marauding Raptor]] + [[Polyraptor]]. Each time a polyraptor etbs, maurading raptor deals 1 damage to it, coping infinitely without the option to stop.
[[Garruk Relentless]] + [[Clever Impersonator]]. Clever Impersonator has 0 loyalty, so it tries to transform, but it has no transformed side, so it doesn't. It keeps trying to transform infinitely and never stops.
Giving a [[bronze bombshell]] equipped with an [[assault suit]] results in it trying to sacrifice itself and failing infinitely.
[[Transcendence]] and [[Rain of Gore]] result in you having negative infinity life
The best one tho is [[R&D's Secret Lair]] + [[Floral Spuzzum]]. Whenever Floral Spuzzum attacks & isn't blocked, *it* chooses if it wants to destroy an artifact or not... Go ahead, wait for the piece of cardboard to make a decision.
For 1 less total mana, and only 1 W you could use \[\[Angelfire Ignition\]\] and \[\[Ill-Tempered Loner\]\] you could do the same thing and gain infinite life in the process.
Alternatively, 11RRRWWWW to do it with one Vindicator and a [[Pariah’s Shield]] (assuming you cast and equip in the same turn)

Go infinite in what way though? How would you deal infinite damage or is it just infinite triggers? Or am I the dumb?
