City of Brass is any infinite blue mana combo of your choice. Add a card in this to pull off any obscure combo you can think of. Purpose of this is just to abuse morph. Funniest way to do it is zombie cutthroat yourself to death, at least that I've seen.

Doesn't work sorry note its 3 mana to morph as well as you take infinite damage on this if you could get it going.

reaper, the City of brass is any infinite mana source providing blue mana, it is not the City of brass itself. "City of Brass is any infinite blue mana combo of your choice." So infinite damage to yourself doesn't take palce.

Chewy, paying the cost for turning the creature face up is a Special Action. 702.35d If you have priority, you may turn a face-down permanent you control face up. This is a special action; it doesn’t use the stack (see rule 115). To do this, show all players what the permanent’s morph cost would be if it were face up, pay that cost, then turn the permanent face up. (If the permanent wouldn’t have a morph cost if it were face up, it can’t be turned face up this way.) The morph effect on it ends, and it regains its normal characteristics. Any abilities relating to the permanent entering the battlefield don’t trigger when it’s turned face up and don’t have any effect, because the permanent has already entered the battlefield.

 TR/DR You turn your Trickster face up only once and therefor you
- pay the cost for turning only once and
- only 1 permanent is tapped or untapped.
You cannot pay the turning-up cost multiple times.

@knarf Guess I somehow misunderstood thought he was tapping city for tricksters morph cost then untapping city when morph turned up. Then tapped again to re morph if I looked at it wrong I'm sorry but that is why I thought the damage took place.

Really thought brass was itself did not see this as proxy. How can u proxy any infinite blue man source with one card? What is the one card that makes infinite blue mana. Need to veer far from this direction or this site will soon b a complete fail.
