Forum:Pole Position Infinite Loop Theoretical Lockdown?

I think most of you are familliar with the effect of Pole Position, and the Infinite Loop that can be created with it.

A small summary here, for the lazy people: You need:
 * A monster with a bit less attack (Monster A)
 * A monster with a bit more attack ( Monster B)
 * Pole Position
 * A spell card that makes the attack of Monster A higher than Monster B (Equip)

Since Pole Position will negate the effect of the spell, Monster B will have more attack, so Pole swaps. However, then the spell activates again, since it isn't longer negated, and Pole swaps again. This repeats into infinity.

That's the reason that there was a rule invented to prevent Infinite Loops: *A player can't activate a card that would cause an infinite loop.

So: When you have a situation where, no matter what card the opponent wants to play, he is starting a Infinite Loop, he can't play any card at all!

Nobody has noticed this before, but I think this is a cool way to make a lockdown, theoretically.

What you need for such lockdown is: OR
 * A spell card that gives attack to Monster A, depending on the amount of cards the opponent has on the field, or in his hand.
 * A monster B that decreases his attack when the opponent has less cards in his hand, in such a way that it gets less attack than Monster A, wich starts the loop also.

In Both Ways the Opponent can't play any card.

However, I beleave this will only work theoretically, since I don't know of a card with one of those effects.
