No - check the clause on Zirda. That ability can never reduce an amount of mana in a cost to zero.

oops. I thought it said "less than zero" tbh.

does Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose and/or Defiant Bloodlord loop infinitely with Exquisite Blood?

Yes, just as much as Sanguine Bond does. This is a pretty classic combo.

I have to point out we have a Rulings forum for this kind of thing if you have lots of questions.

oh okay. Mainly made this for goofy magic questions, been thinking a lot about Un-Set cards lately, but also wasn't sure if there was a devoted forum for asking questions about mechanics and/or combos.

Yeah, you're free to ask about absolutely anything related to card mechanics and interactions in the Rulings forum.

crazy combo, but would Training Grounds plus Brenard, Ginger Sculptor plus Sam, Loyal Attendant plus Steel Hellkite, with Steel Hellkite being a Food thanks to Brenard, give Steel Hellkite infinite power?

Yes, you can make the Hellkite arbitrarily big (infinite does not exist in magic; you do need to choose an actual value). You can choose to apply Training Grounds cost reduction first to get the ability down to {1} mana and then Sam's ability reduces that {1} to {0}.

Also, I will echo void_nothing's comment above. We have a Rulings forum for things like this. While it is a "crazy combo", it is, at its heart, a Rules question so you are encouraged to create a thread there to get an answer. A lot of us have notifications for that forum specifically and you will generally get a faster answer than here.
