Jim Culver Deeply Warps Reality

We were doing a thing where we played The Depths of Yoth, but going forever in a massive multi-team race.

I wanted something ridiculous, but not "too" ridiculous.

So, I thought I would bend the a Time Warp infinite loop to my needs.

Loop goes like this (assumes Rod/Robes on table, Prescient in hand, TimeWarp in discard):

• Start a test, eg on one of your spell assets.
• Rod of Carnamagos lets you see a bunch of tokens
  • if you like them, that's great, else...
• Commit Prescient naming a token you already saw.
• Let test resolve, you don't care how, Prescient triggers, you grab Time Warp
• Play Time Warp
• Trigger Robes of Endless Night

The Robes discount the cost of Time Warp to zero, but aren't actually part of paying the costs to play the spell, so get wound back like everything else. Time Warp ends in discard, Prescient in hand, Robes of Endless Night, Rod of Carnamagos and whatever you triggered to start this test ends up in whatever state it started the action.

It's a nice simple infinite loop, whose exit condition is that you liked the 5 tokens you got from the Rod of Carnamagos, ie they are all curses.

So, now Armageddon(4) and Eye of Chaos(4) get 5+ tokens per trigger, making them wildly over-efficient and more than solving any charges issues.

You can also put the No-Attack Rot on a critter to make sure Rod of Carnamagos has targets from round to round.

Other notes/synergies:

Deck is 49XP, 3XP is in the spirit deck (aka Side Deck).

Spirit of Humanity keeps you healthy and the bag full of curses, also pumping up Soul Sanctification to let you pass all sorts of tests you otherwise might not. I usually triggered this just before my Curse needing actions, and usually only if bag was running low on curses (<6).

Blasphemous Covenant mitigates harm to other players.

Jewel of Aureolus triggers a lot, but for extra fun, you can (free) trigger it inside the infinite loop, to effectively peek at the next card before the unwinding. You can also sometimes use Yaotl or Alyssa Graham to effectively peek further down. These let you reliably use Foresight and Yaotl to get rid of most (the worst) of your many weaknesses.

Ritual Candles each trigger off all 5+ curses giving you a ludicrously high test bonus.

Blood Pact is a scenario specifi addition. There are a lot of witching hours in the Depths of Yoth.Z
