Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain + Words of Wind + Grim Monolith + Gran-Gran

Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain

Words of Wind

Grim Monolith

Gran-Gran

How it works

1. Activate Grim Monolith by tapping it, adding CCC
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 Grim Monolith to your hand.
5. Activate Words of Wind by paying 1.
6. Cast Grim Monolith by paying 1.
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 clever loop turns the self-contained mana engine of Grim Monolith into a devastating one-sided board wipe by layering replacement effects and cast triggers. With Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain drawing you cards—or in this specific sequence, replacing those draws via Words of Wind—every artifact you cast forces every player to bounce a permanent, allowing you to repeatedly return Grim Monolith and your cheap artifacts to your hand and recast them for zero mana. While the list's accompanying effects from Gran-Gran aren't strictly necessary for the core bounce loop to function, every piece works in harmony to clear your opponents' boards entirely while endlessly churning your storm count and triggers.
