Emiel the Blessed + Burdened Aerialist + Training Grounds

Emiel the Blessed

Burdened Aerialist

Training Grounds

How it works

1. Activate Emiel the Blessed by paying 1, blinking Burdened Aerialist.
2. When Burdened Aerialist enters the battlefield, it triggers, creating a Treasure artifact token.
3. Activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding 1.
4. Repeat.

This elegant engine uses Training Grounds to discount Emiel the Blessed's blink ability down to a single generic mana, making it cheap enough to loop indefinitely. When you use that discounted ability on Burdened Aerialist, it continuously triggers to churn out fresh Treasure tokens. Each time you crack one of those Treasures for mana, you not only fuel the next blink of the Aerialist, but you also trigger its second ability to temporarily grant it flying.
