Koll, the Forgemaster + Diamond Lion + Ronin Warclub + Thousand-Year Elixir

Koll, the Forgemaster

Diamond Lion

Ronin Warclub

Thousand-Year Elixir

How it works

1. Cast Diamond Lion by paying 2.
2. When Diamond Lion enters, Ronin Warclub triggers, attaching itself to Diamond Lion.
3. Activate Diamond Lion by tapping it, sacrificing it and discarding your hand, adding three mana of any color.
4. When Diamond Lion dies, Koll triggers, returning Diamond Lion from your graveyard to your hand.
5. Repeat.

This ingenious loop turns a modest artifact creature into a self-sustaining mana engine by leaning on Koll, the Forgemaster to constantly recycle your fallen threats. Since Diamond Lion is equipped right as it enters the battlefield thanks to Ronin Warclub's automatic attachment trigger, its death immediately triggers Koll's ability to bounce it right back to your hand for another casting. Thousand-Year Elixir provides the crucial support needed to tie the whole workshop together, granting the Lion pseudo-haste so it can tap for its mana sacrifice ability the moment it reappears.
