"The Most Expensive EDH Game"

What was the most expensive MTG game that you have ever played? What? What kind of question is that? People pay entrance fees for tournaments but Magic games don't usually have a buy in per game so what the heck am I talking about?

I am talking about potentially the most expensive EDH game that you would ever play in your entire life and this in an infinite combo guaranteed to mana drain your wallet if you let it.

First is the card Booster tutor. For 1 Black Mana and Instant speed you could open a Magic Booster pack and get a card from it and hopefully get to use it too. This is one of those cards meant to be funny but I will be serious in my use of it.

So what if you can use this ability infinitely? In and EDH game you just need the following cards. Isochron Scepter , Sol Ring and Paradox Engine(still banned but since this also includes a card from one of the UN sets this is a combo that is best used with the permission of your playgroup).

So Cast the Isochron Scepter . Imprint Booster Tutor. Pay 2 mana from the Sol Ring to cast the Imprint Booster. Crack a pack and get a card. The free casting of Booster Tutor will trigger the Paradox Engine making sure that your Sol Ring and Isochron Scepter will be untapped. Repeat.

Now imagine cracking packs with this again and again. The older the set the more expensive it will get. And hence the most expensive EDH game you will ever get to play in your entire life. Now the question is do you really even need this combo to start cracking packs? I don't think so.
