MtGPQ Bugs & Technical Issues
This is a fun bug that creates an infinite (unbreakable) loop. If you have Saheeli and both of these cards, I suggest not playing them in the same deck together.
Board state:
Wharf Infiltrator and Olivia in play (Buff are irrelevant).
Hand:
Four creatures.
Step 1: Cast a creature, triggering Olivia's effect, discarding a creature.
Step 2: The creature discarded to Olivia triggers Wharf Infiltrator's effect.
Step 3: A 3/2 Eldrazi Horror creature token is summoned.
Step 4: The token triggers Olivia's effect and attempts to discard a creature but no card is discarded.
Step 5: Wharf Infiltrator begins to trigger again even though no card is actually discarded.
Step 6: Repeat steps 3 through 5 infinitely.
Step 7: Go get a beverage, play with the kids, watch some TV, come back and see how big your Eldrazi Horror token is. (Mine was a 1008/672 by the time I came back from getting the kids to bed. Summoned 349 Eldrazi that round but still managed to miss the bonus ribbon...)
A thing to note here, the buff from Olivia is never applied to the infinitely growing Eldrazi Horror. I think the Wharf Infiltrator trigger interrupts the Olivia trigger. After the second Eldrazi comes into play, it seems like Olivia's original effect attempts to restart but since it already discarded a card, it doesn't do so again but the Wharf Infiltrator sees it as another discarded creature so it starts summoning another Eldrazi which again interrupts Olivia's effect and creates the infinite loop.

ah...the beauty and destructive capability of a positive feedback loop.
