How it works

  1. Activate up to five lands you control by tapping them, adding at least 3W manaW mana.
  2. Cast Cage of Hands by paying its mana cost, targeting Displacer Kitten
  3. Displacer Kitten triggers, blinking Peregrine Drake.
  4. When Peregrine Drake enters the battlefield, it triggers, untapping up to five lands.
  5. Resolve the Cage of Hands spell.
  6. Activate Cage of Hands by paying 1W mana, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
  7. Repeat.

This clever engine turns the simple bounce ability of Cage of Hands into an infinite loop by leveraging the mechanical synergy of the rest of the board. Whenever you recast Cage of Hands, Displacer Kitten's avoidance trigger blinks Peregrine Drake, which in turn untaps your lands to easily generate more than enough mana to pay the return cost of Cage of Hands. Because you are repeatedly casting and returning the Aura while cycling your drake through exile, you can freely repeat this cycle to rack up an infinite storm count alongside endless enter-the-battlefield and leave-the-battlefield triggers.
