Palinchron + Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines

Palinchron

Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines

How it works

1. Activate six lands by tapping them, adding at least 4.
2. Cast Palinchron by paying 5.
3. When Palinchron enters the battlefield, it triggers twice.
4. Resolve the first trigger, untapping up to seven lands you control.
5. Activate six lands by tapping them, adding at least 4.
6. Resolve the second Palinchron trigger, untapping up to seven lands you control.
7. Activate Palinchron by paying 2, returning it to your hand from the battlefield.
8. Repeat.

This brilliant loop turns Palinchron's familiar self-bouncing routine into an engine for infinite mana and continuous entry triggers by doubling its land-untapping power. Normally, a single Palinchron barely breaks even on mana when bouncing and recasting, but the addition of Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines shifts the math entirely in your favor. With Elesh Norn's static ability amplifying the entry trigger, each time Palinchron arrives you get two separate untap bonuses instead of one, leaving your lands generating far more mana than you spend on the loop.
