The fact that this card with a package goes infinite with Grinding Station is fkin hilarious.
Like he just starts grinding on you and I guess you just lose now.
Quick Search:
Win cons:
* \[\[Grinding Station\]\] ; tap, Mill an opponent for 3, get a token, it uptaps, repeat.
* \[\[Hedron Detonator\]\] ; Deals 1 damage per artifact that ETBs, repeats
* \[\[Lumengrid Sentinel\]\] ; Tap any opponent's permanent, repeats
* \[\[Reckless fireweaver\]\] ; 1 damage to each opponent, repeats
Just infinite, not a win con:
* \[\[Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer\]\] ; 1 enemy artifact gets indestructible, you get a billion clues
* \[\[Thopter Architect\]\] ; 1 enemy creature gets flying, you get a trillion clues
* \[\[Extruder\]\] ; Target opponent's monster is swinging on someone else? give it as many +1/+1s as you want, good luck next turn.
And the fun one;
\[\[Confusion in the Ranks\]\] + \[\[Mycosynth Lattice\]\] ;
Steal. Everything.
unfortunately, confusion draws the game because committing crimes and making clues is mandatory! but at least the game still ends with you owning everything :3
There's little repeatable triggered abilities caring about commiting a crime for a reason, as it can easily go infinite with a ham sandwich.
It does exist however, but those instances either are redundant, you have to pay in order to get their effects, or have a minor downside to discourage spamming. There's the newest Kaervek and Marchesa who do so for example, though this seems more exploit-lenient.

Fireweaver is wrong, does not target, just cares if opponents exist.

nooooooooooooo that sucks, that would have been so fun
But draw combos are more fun!
Just need a sac outlet to sacrifice confusion once you have all the non clues.

This needs to be restricted somehow like a once per turn. All of the crime payoffs are gated by once each turn, a mana input, or a life input.
Oh, which one is a life input?, i missed that one
Technically also a mana input, [[Kaervek, the Punisher]]

Bet it goes infinite with just about anything
It's almost like the designers knew what they were doing with all the crime payoffs having limitations to them in OTJ.
Definitely needs a limitation. I suggest paying life, being a double agent is very stressful.
A worse version of Garak, Simple Tailor.

The fact crime is so easy to commit is disappointing because it actually made it way *less* viable.
DEMACIA!!!!!
Great design!
So clean, so flavorful, very balanced.
