After a couple months of constructed play, we have seen a significant number of players across multiple regions taking advantage of a three-card infinite combo in Prophecy. This combo utilizes Blessing of Osiris, Stargazer, and Starry Deer Crocodile + Salt Block to force your opponent to draw and discard every card in their deck. Once they are out of cards in their deck and are continuously forced to draw cards on an empty deck with Salt Block, the controller of the combo freely secures Ikorr until they have won.

With cost reducers and the power of Ix Chel, Lady Rainbow as an avatar, this combo can be initiated very early in the game. All in just a single aspect to boot! We had taken a look at each of the offenders in the combo, considering various options to a solution, but Blessing of Osiris seemed to be the main piece that allowed for unhindered resilience. That power doesn’t stop at this combo, as a card like Blessing of Osiris has serious potential of posing ongoing threats as the game continues and more cards are designed. To eliminate the negative experience created now and avoid future problems, Blessing of Osiris is banned.
