Can you shortcut an infinite combo loop where the overall outcome is deterministic, but individual iterations involve random card order that causes different (but equivalent) execution paths each loop?

Ruling: No, this loop cannot be shortcut and must be played out manually.

Nuances:

• Even though the decision tree is deterministic and both branches result in the same game state, the non-deterministic element (random card order affecting which branch is taken on each iteration) prevents shortcutting
• The rule states that if a sequence of actions is non-deterministic, it may not be shortcut and iterations must be performed manually
