those who say numbers are infinite don't realize how rare most numbers are. frequency histogram runs out of graph paper, so represent frequency of numbers over 7 by ny's twin towers respectively. then frequency of numbers over 7 is a medium sized molehill. numbers go up to 7.

infinites in slay the spire + thoughts, thread. 1) ironclad: it is very easy to go infinite with ironclad because you have a ton of cards which can exhaust chaff to get you down to a combo. then you just play your combo infinite times. random decks end up infinite cause why not?
