"Infinite" mill

[Rico Suave]

Specifically, you must precisely repeat the same exact steps in perfect and predictable order in order for it to be a "loop." That series of actions is not in a perfect and predictable order.

In order to constitute a loop you cannot have any conditional effects. "If this happens, I do this" is a human reaction to the situation, and it is conditional on what the Future Sight reveals. You must play it out.

You can explain it to your opponent and hope they concede, though.

If your opponent agrees, can you skip to the end of the series in the way that the original poster wanted to? Example being if your opponent is really noble.

Say you are floating Green mana equal to your opponent's life total (he went off with Life, and then you have some infinite combo to generate a lot of G).

You have a Future Sight in play. Your Library contains 0 cards.

You have two Gaea's Blessings, three Tormod's Crypts, and a Tendrils of Agony in hand.

I agree that if you play a deck that goes off with a 2UUU enchantment, a 2BB sorcery, infinite green mana, and five other cards...and you actually manage to assemble the combo...and it's also just the game when your opponent is playing Life...then you should be given the win regardless of what any stupid ruling says. It's just that big of an accomplishment

So I sympathize with Mr. Heckt. Why should he think about whether the ruling is "fair" or how it could be changed when the situations where it comes up short are so rare ?

Nope. Your opponent can't allow you to break the rules. He's certainly allowed to just concede though.
