This is a question regarding infinite loops and shortcuts at **Competitive REL** --- here is a potential scenario. - Both my opponent and Myself are at 20 life each. - I have no creatures on the battlefiled. - My opponent has a [mtg: kiki-jiki, mirror breaker] and a [mtg: warstorm surge] on the battlefield - I have a [mtg: rakdos charm] in hand. - my opponent plays [mtg: deceiver exarch] and begins a loop where he uses Kiki-Jiki to copy the ex-arch, and he uses the new exarch to untap Kiki-Jiki, dealing me 1 damage every time he does it. - If I cast [mtg: rakdos charm] when the 18th exarch token's trigger is on the stack, I win. - If I cast it at any other time, I lose - If my opponent knows that I'm going to cast it than he won't make the 18th token, and he'll simply attack and kill me. --- Now the question is: If my opponent proposes a shortcut, saying > "I'll make 500 tokens and kill you" Can I accept the first 18 iterations of that shortcut and react by saying > "after the 18th token enters the battlefield and it's ETB trigger goes onto the stack, I cast [mtg:rakdos charm]. Or do I have to propose a new shortcut for the 18 iterations, potentially giving my opponent information?
