Infinity is one of two used to represent the Infinity Stones of the Marvel universe along with the Stone type.[1][2] The rest of the Infinity Stones will be featured in upcoming Marvel sets.[3]

When initially previewed, it was ambiguous whether Infinity Stone was a two-word type, like Time Lord. It was quickly clarified that the two were separate types.[4]

In contrast to Stone, Infinity is restricted to use in Marvel sets.[5][6] The Magic IP equivalent, Terminus, was unveiled in Through the Omenpaths 1. This is however not covered by the Comprehensive Rules.

The Terminus of Return (Through the Omenpaths 1, #69)
Six legendary artifacts which cost 1M, are indestructible, tap to add M and can be harnessed to grant their Infinity symbol or Origin ability. They exist with both Universes Beyond (UB) and Universes Within versions that are functionally the same card. In their UB version they represent the Infinity Stones from the Marvel Comics.

Trivia

  • The two functionally equivalent types have opposite meanings, with Terminus being the final point in space or time, while Infinity is considerably boundless or endless.
    • Another explanation of the name is that Terminus Stones mark a certain boundary.
