Thread: Which decks can you currently go infinite on MTGO with?

    Which decks can you currently go infinite on MTGO with?

    Of course it depends on meta shifts and player skill, but speaking in the long term, which decks do you think have above a 50% win rate (about the win rate you need to go infinite on MTGO and never have to buy more event tickets) with a capable pilot?

    I'm thinking these, but anyone chime in if you've gone infinite/50% win rate long term with another deck, or see sub-50% win rates with one of the decks I've listed:

    Any respectable Delver
    Doomsday
    Reanimator
    Lands, both R/G and W/G
    Death & Taxes
    Bant
    UWR/Ragastill
    LED Dredge
    Sneak & Show
    Various Painters
    Oops
    Elves
    Miracles
    OmniShow
    Aluren
    TES

    Not qualified to speak on Merfolk, Madness, Cloudpost, Enchantress, Karn Echoes, Hogaak, Burn, Goblins, Infect, Eldrazi, Food Chain, Maverick, Bomberman, Slivers, Humans, ANT, Death's Shadow, Ninjas, Turbo Depths, and a bunch of others.

    It is true to an extent that a specialist in a deck can take a ton of decks to a 50% win rate, but there is a cutoff. A Nacatl Zoo expert is not gonna play it for 100 leagues and have a 50% win rate.

    I know what some of the grinders who rack up trophies and obviously have a 50% win rate are playing, but not all of them. I guess things like Stryfo Pile should be on the list because it seems he clears the bar, similar with a few others with specialty decks?

    You can go infinite with any Legacy deck. You just have to be a good player.
    Leagues cost 100 play points or 10 tix. Going 3-2 pays out 100 play points + 1 treasure chest which you can trade for 2.x tix. So by just being good enough to win more than you lose keeps you free rolling your next league and growing your collection.
    I do it with Goblins. Any deck can do it.

    If you sell all your chests / cards from chests anyone can go infinite. EV for leagues is +0.41$ With a 50% win rate.


    My rule of thumb is deck choice is +-5% WR unless it is truly busted/shit, and player skill is +/- 5% unless they are true archetype masters.

    So an above average player on a tier 2 deck or an average player on a tier 1 deck can easily break even if you sell your chests. Reid duke can break even with legends pox, and a monkey can break even with legacy underworld breach.

    This in line with people like Bryant cook say, which is that the best players on the best deck can’t sustain better than 65% win rate unless something bannable is happening.
