Forum:Imperial Iron Wall + Macro Cosmos

Macro Cosmos: "While this card is on the field, any card sent to the Graveyard is removed from play instead."

Imperial Iron Wall: "Cards cannot be removed from play."

The ruling for Imperial Iron Wall is that whenever a card would be removed from play upon its destruction, it is sent to the Graveyard instead. But according to Macro Cosmos, that card would then be removed from play. Thus causing it to be sent to the Graveyard due to Imperial Iron Wall, which would then cause Macro Cosmos to remove it from play, et cetera, ad infinitum.

So my question is, if Imperial Iron Wall and Macro Cosmos are both active, does that essentially create a total lock on any action that would send a card to the Graveyard (Due to the "infinite loop" rule)? 68.54.219.226 00:22, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
