Far? What I have seen would blast ye to a mad statue of stone! Back, back—forward, forward—look, ye puling lack-wit!”

Needs some kind of anti recursion clause, otherwise this goes infinite, and play becomes.

Cast this, end turn, your draw phase; You're decked matey.

I thought we determined on Paradox Machine that replacement effects don't check their replacement for replacements.

Oh, ok. Still looks like it needs it to me.

>614.5. A replacement effect doesn't invoke itself repeatedly; it gets only one opportunity to affect an event or any modified events that may replace it.

>Example: A player controls two permanents, each with an ability that reads "If a creature you control would deal damage to a creature or player, it deals double that damage to that creature or player instead." A creature that normally deals 2 damage will deal 8 damage -- not just 4, and not an infinite amount.

Yep, Vitenka's just wrong here (sorry). If this went infinite then so would Furnace of Rath, Doubling Season, and more or less every replacement-effect enchantment.
