How it works

  1. Cast Paradigm Shift by paying 1U mana, triggering Hive Mind.
  2. Holding priority, activate Lithoform Engine's first ability by paying 2 and tapping it, copying Hive Mind's trigger.
  3. Resolve the Hive Mind triggers, causing each opponent to copy Paradigm Shift twice.
  4. Resolve each Paradigm Shift copy, exiling your opponent' libraries.
  5. Resolve the original Paradigm Shift, exiling your library and putting your graveyard into your library.

This devious combination turns your own library-reshuffling spell into a game-ending weapon by weaponizing Hive Mind to force your opponents into casting copies of Paradigm Shift. While Hive Mind ensures the contagion spreads to the rest of the table, Lithoform Engine steps in to multiply the madness by copying the trigger itself, ensuring that every single rival gets hit with multiple copies of the spell. As those copies resolve and exile your opponents' libraries, your original Paradigm Shift safely resolves last, resetting your own graveyard and leaving you as the sole survivor in formats like commander, legacy, oathbreaker, and vintage.
