How it works

  1. Activate Helga by tapping it, adding at least W manaW manaW manaW mana that can only be spent to cast creature spells with mana value 4 or greater or with X in their mana cost.
  2. Cast Blinking Spirit by paying 3W mana.
  3. Helga and Chakram Retriever trigger.
  4. Resolve the Helga trigger, causing you to draw a card, gain 1 life, and put a +1/+1 counter on Helga.
  5. Resolve the Chakram Retriever trigger, causing you to untap Helga.
  6. Activate Blinking Spirit by paying 0, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
  7. Repeat.

This delightful loop turns the modest mana value of Blinking Spirit into an engine for infinite resources, anchored entirely by Helga, Skittish Seer and Chakram Retriever. Because Blinking Spirit can be returned to your hand for zero mana, you can cast it repeatedly to trigger Chakram Retriever's ability, which constantly untaps Helga so she can continue tapping for massive colored mana. Every single time you recast that spirit, Helga's triggered ability rewards you by drawing a card, gaining life, and growing her power with +1/+1 counters to fuel even bigger mana production. Though Chakram Slinger isn't on the board, this trio easily works in concert to cycle the spirit infinitely through your hand and stack.
