Tatti Plant Combinations

[Surferdude]

I have recently acquired Munchkin Oz which has the card Tatti Plant. This card lets you roll a die after using any usable once only item, and on a 5 or a 6, you get it back. Now, if you have 2 loaded die, you can cause an infinite loop which results in you getting all your usable once only cards back and not losing anything.

This can be combined with cards such as Wand of Dowsing, or any such card, you can retrieve any card you have played. You can grab every discard in the game without losing anything. Also, combined with any card which makes a combat just end (no loot and treasure) you can prevent any opponent from ever killing a monster. As well, combining this with something like thief, you can remove all items from your opponents without losing anything. Also, combined with any card which lets you grab a door or treasure card from the deck, you can grab every card from those piles as well.

In short, this obviously breaks the game, but I can't find any rule it breaks. Is doing this action of continually getting cards back actually somehow illegal or is it just a munchkinly way to win?

If you happen to get the Tatti Plant AND two Loaded Die cards AND a "dumpster dive" card AND you feel like using all of them over and over like this, you can make a pretty good run at things. But that's true of a number of super-lucky card combinations.

In practice, there will come a time at some point when you're having to use a Loaded Die to retrieve a Loaded Die or get something you want more and break the chain. Or you'll run out of one-shot cards in the discards, which breaks the chain anyway. Or someone else drops a Reloaded Die into your plans and you have to use BOTH Loaded Die cards just to get one card back. Or a Thief steals your Tatti Plant. It's not infinite and it's not unstoppable, especially once people realize what you're doing.
