Arcbound Reclaimer + Showdown of the Skalds + Lotus Petal + Fortune Teller's Talent

Arcbound Reclaimer

Showdown of the Skalds

Lotus Petal

Fortune Teller's Talent

How it works

1. Cast Lotus Petal either from your hand or from the top of your library by paying 0
2. Showdown of the Skalds triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Arcbound Reclaimer.
3. Activate Lotus Petal by tapping and sacrificing it.
4. Activate Arcbound Reclaimer by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, putting Lotus Petal from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
5. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms a humble sacrifice into a self-sustaining engine by letting you replay the same artifact over and over. You begin by cracking Lotus Petal for mana, sending it to the graveyard where Arcbound Reclaimer is waiting to pluck it right back to the top of your library using its +1/+1 counter removal ability. Meanwhile, Fortune Teller's Talent gives you the ability to look at that top card and play it directly from the top, allowing you to cast Lotus Petal once more for free. To keep the counters flowing, Showdown of the Skalds steps in with its triggered chapters to continually replace the counter that Arcbound Reclaimer spent, ensuring the whole recursion loop can repeat indefinitely for infinite mana and storm.
