Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain

Words of Wind

Mana Crypt

Gran-Gran

How it works

1. Activate Mana Crypt by tapping it, adding CC.
2. Activate Words of Wind by paying 1.
3. Cast an artifact by paying 0.
4. Jhoira triggers, causing each player to return a permanent they control from the battlefield to their hand due to Words of Wind, with you returning Mana Crypt to your hand.
5. Activate Words of Wind by paying 1.
6. Cast Mana Crypt by paying 0.
7. Jhoira triggers, causing each player to return a permanent they control from the battlefield to their hand due to Words of Wind, with you returning the artifact cast in step 3 to your hand.
8. Repeat.

This vintage loop relies on Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain to turn your historic spellcasts into card-drawing triggers, which Words of Wind delightfully redirects into a persistent wave of bouncing permanents. By paying into Words of Wind's replacement effect, every card you draw forces every player to return something to their hand, letting you pick up Mana Crypt and recast it for free using the mana it generated. Gran-Gran sits ready to filter your hand and discount your noncreature spells if your graveyard holds the right Lessons, tightening the loop until your opponents' boards are completely swept back to their hands.
