Token-doubling effects are legion in Magic, and Edge of Eternities will add a few more. MTG players have discovered a new combo with two EOE cards and Bloomburrow commander Zinnia, Valley of the Voice that can create an astronomically huge number of tokens.

And pulling it off is as simple as 1, 2, 3!

The Zinnia – Starfield – Sunborn Combo

Redditor u/mushroom-burger posted this combo that, first, requires you to have Zinnia, Valley's Voice (normally Zinnia would be your commander, but that's not required – just that it's in play).

Then you need to have () mana available, and have in hand Starfield Vocalist and Exalted Sunborn.

Now you need to play Starfield Vocalist for its warp cost plus giving it offspring. You'll have to pay for the offspring cost, plus for the vocalist's warp cost.

Then you do the same with Exalted Sunborn (in this case paying between offspring and warp costs), and, blam… you'll get near-infinite tokens, in one go!

(Technically, you'll get 2²⁰⁵⁹ tokens; math-savvy redditors have calculated that, If you were to place that many tokens on the table, the mass would be so large that you'd create a black hole. There are some doubts if the Magic rules would consider that a win, or a tie!)

Step-By-Step Math

Here's how you arrive to that black-hole-sized number:

When your original Starfield Vocalist hits the board, it will trigger the offspring ability; and since the Vocalist is already on the field, it will trigger a second time. Therefore, you end up with three Vocalists on the board (the original, plus two token copies).

When your original Exalted Sunborn lands on the field, it will trigger its offspring ability, and each Vocalist will make it trigger once more. Therefore, you'll get four offspring triggers for the Sunborn.

We can forget about the Vocalists at this point – all that matters now are the Sunborn's four offspring triggers on the stack, and the original Sunborn on the field

Sunborn's First Offspring Trigger Resolves

When the first trigger resolves, you'll get two token copies (because you already have the original Sunborn on the field).

You'll end this step with the original Sunborn, plus two token copies – 3 Sunborns in total.

Sunborn's Second Offspring Trigger Resolves

When the second trigger resolves, you'll get 2x2x2 tokens. That's because you already have 3 Sunborns in play (from the first trigger), and each one will double the incoming trigger.

So you'll end this step with 3 Sunborns (from the previous trigger), plus 8 new Sunborns – 11 Sunborns in total.

Sunborn's Third Offspring Trigger Resolves

Now the 11 Sunborns you have will each double the incoming third trigger. That's 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2, which is 2048.

We add the 11 Sunborns we already had, we get 2059 Sunborns in total.

That's quite a few, but still not black-hole-sized numbers…

… but we still have the fourth trigger!

Sunborn's Fourth Offspring Trigger Resolves

This is where things get totally, galactically bananas. When the fourth trigger resolves, now each of the 2059 Sunborns you already have will double the number of tokens. It's a number so big that a simple calculator will just tell you “Infinity”

Is This an Infinite Combo?

Nope, it is not!

For starters, the number of tokens is technically not infinite. But, most importantly, in Magic an infinite combo is a sequence that you can loop over and over again, an infinite number of times. And in this case, even if the results is a ridiculously huge number of tokens, the card sequence is actually pretty simple: Zinnia on board, then play two cards (Vocalist, then Sunborn), and you get the tokens.

Do The Tokens Remain on the Battlefield After My Turn?

Yes they do!

When you play a card for its warp cost, you have to exile it at the end of turn. So you'll have to exile the original Vocalist and Sunborn.

But, per Magic's rules, token copies only copy the base card. The offspring tokens are considered brand-new objects with no memory, so to speak. They were not warped in, so you don't need to exile them at the end of the turn.

Do You Win With This Combo?

Well, good news and bad news here…

Bad news is, no, this combo does not win you the game outright. You do put create an army big enough to sink a black hole, but you still haven't won. You'd need either some extra effects (like giving your whole army haste), or wait until your next turn and hope nobody is holding a Wrath of God to wipe your board.

The good news is, since it's not an infinite loop and you don't win the game outright, most Commander pods should be cool with this combo.

It's really simple and quick to execute (just play two cards on your turn, with a third already in play) that is strong but not game-winning.
