This clever loop turns Clock of Omens into a self-sustaining engine by fundamentally rewriting the nature of the battlefield with Mycosynth Lattice. Because Mycosynth Lattice makes every permanent an artifact, you can tap *any* creature alongside Clock of Omens to pay its activation cost—including the Mercenary token created by Ertha Jo, Frontier Mentor. That token's tap ability is what sparks the magic: whenever you activate it, Ertha Jo, Frontier Mentor steps in to copy the ability, letting you untap Clock of Omens while keeping the loop churning indefinitely for infinite creature triggers.
