How it works

  1. If Runaway Steam-Kin has three or more +1/+1 counters on it, activate Runaway Steam-Kin by removing three +1/+1 counters from it, adding R manaR manaR mana.
  2. Activate Cormela by paying 1 and tapping it, adding U manaB manaR mana that can only be spent to cast instant and/or sorcery spells.
  3. Cast Twinflame by paying 1R mana.
  4. Runaway Steam-Kin triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on itself.
  5. Resolve Twinflame, creating a token copy of Cormela.
  6. Put the tapped Cormela into your graveyard due to the legend rule.
  7. Cormela dies, triggering itself, returning Twinflame from your graveyard to your hand.
  8. Repeat.

This clever loop revolves around copying Cormela, Glamour Thief with Twinflame to continually trigger her legendary status and death ability, which recycles Twinflame right back to your hand each time. Runaway Steam-Kin plays a vital passive role by converting the red spells you cast into the explosive mana required to fuel Twinflame's cost, while also providing the initial red mana needed to get the engine turning. Meanwhile, Cormela's tap ability feeds the rest of the color requirements, leaving you with an endless surplus of blue and black mana as long as you keep repeating the process.
