Seismic Assault and Crucible of Worlds

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.trading-cards.magic.rules (More info?)

Crucible of Worlds
Card type: Artifact
Casting cost: 3
Oracle text: You may play land cards from your graveyard as though they were
in your hand.

Seismic Assault
Card type: Enchantment
Casting cost: RRR
Oracle text: Discard a land card: Seismic Assault deals 2 damage to target
creature or player.

Can I get an infinite combo going with these 2 cards in play?

Ie:

I discard a land card from my graveyard into my graveyard using Crucible
ability, repeat 10 times - opponent dead.

Thanks
Liam.

No, Seismic Assault lets you discard land cards from your *hand*.
Crucible of Worlds doesn't say anything about discarding cards from
your graveyard as though they were in your hand. And discarding a card
isn't the same thing as playing a card.

Not really. You can't play more than one land a turn.

Oh - no. Crucible of Worlds doesn't SAY anything about letting you DISCARD
cards "from your graveyard". All it lets you do is _play the land_ - this is
your special one-per-turn action that you can take during your Main phase
when the stack is empty, "laying a land".

Playing a land == laying the land, as the special action noted above.
Playing a spell or ability == announcing the spell or ability. That's
ALL that "playing a land/spell/ability/card" is - nothing more.

Crucible of Worlds does NOT allow you to (and does not SAY it allows you
to) play _the game as though_ land cards in your graveyard were in your
hand. ALL it lets you do? Is +play+ lands from your graveyard, in addition
to being able to play them from your hand in the normal way; it breaks no
other rules (and thus doesn't let you play MORE THAN ONE land on your turn,
even).

Wrong. You may play land cards from your graveyard as though they were
in your hand, yes -- but DISCARDING a land card is not PLAYING a land
card. Crucible does not allow you to discard land cards in your
graveyard as though they were in your hand, only to play them.
