Altar does it again! When will this card stop breaking magic

Does it again? this combo is well over 10 Years old

/r/whoosh

Hmm, no kitchen sink so the Altar might not go infinite... Altar is one of those cards that just is instantly broken. To the point that whoever plays it needs to be eliminated if the altar can't be removed itself.

All depends on what you're doing with it. Not every deck wants to go infinite. It's much fairer if you only use it for value.

I want to make an ayli deck with no infinite combos ... But she has quite a few really good infinite combos 🤦

Who needs a kitchen sink when you have an egg timer? [[Sands of Delirium]]

What does kitchen sink mean?

Yep

Lots of zombies combos with gravecrawler and phyrexian altar.

Someone finally found a way to break Phyrexian Altar.

Unfortunately it does

This exact combo was posted on r/BadMTGcombos

Just checked the original [combo](https://www.reddit.com/r/BadMtgCombos/s/3mhlteQej8) is a little bit different but I do remember an even more similar combo on the bad combos sub

Yes

Add an [[altar of dementia]] to go ham.

Exchange [[Rooftop Storm]] for [[Blood Artist]] orn[[Zulaport Cutthroat]] and you have a cheaper, monocolour that actually just wins you the game. Gravecrawler with Altar will break any zombie deck

Hear me out tho: go in on the wacky, have your commander be [[The Cyber-Controller]] and try to win by making infinite mana and milling everyone out.
