Valley Floodcaller + Retraction Helix

Valley Floodcaller

Retraction Helix

How it works

1. Cast Retraction Helix by paying , targeting a Bird, Rat, Otter and/or Frog you control that does not have summoning sickness.
2. Valley Floodcaller triggers, giving Birds, Otters, Frogs and Rats you control +1/+1 until end of turn and untapping them.
3. Resolve Retraction Helix.
4. Cast the noncreature permanent by paying 0.
5. Valley Floodcaller triggers, giving Birds, Otters, Frogs and Rats you control +1/+1 until end of turn and untapping them.
6. Activate the creature targeted by Retraction Helix by tapping it, returning the noncreature permanent cast in step 4 from the battlefield to your hand.
7. Repeat from step 4.

This delightful transmutation turns a humble creature into a persistent bouncer by granting it the tap ability of Retraction Helix. Once equipped, you can repeatedly cast and retrieve a zero-mana noncreature permanent, fueling your storm count with every iteration. The true genius of the formula lies in Valley Floodcaller, whose passive flash-granting lets you cast your artifacts or spells at instant speed while its triggered ability automatically untaps your Birds, Frogs, Otters, and Rats whenever you do so. This creates a perpetual motion machine of bouncing, recasting, and untapping that simultaneously pumps your squad to towering proportions.
