Alice's Twin Prime Combo

But, Alice has a trick! She can sacrifice one of her own Havenwood Battle grounds to make her number of lands 2 less in combination with a wasteland. This would allow her to still have a prime number if she chose the larger of a pair of twin primes as her target land count. The question is this: Can Alice always make a number of lands bigger than any other number so that if Bob destroys one of her lands, she can sacrifice another, remaining at a prime number, and making the token to Fling for the win? (So: are there infinite twin primes?)

The image presents a fictional Magic: The Gathering rules question about Alice and Bob, where Alice uses Havenwood Battle grounds, wastelands, prime-number land counts, and a Fling token. The joke turns an infinite combo into a question about the unsolved twin prime conjecture: Alice wins if there are infinitely many pairs of twin primes, but Bob might win if no sufficiently large pair exists.
