Oltec Matterweaver + Ancestral Statue + Krark-Clan Ironworks + Parallel Lives

Oltec Matterweaver

Ancestral Statue

Krark-Clan Ironworks

Parallel Lives

How it works

1. Cast Ancestral Statue by paying 4
2. Oltec Matterweaver triggers, creating two 1/1 Gnome artifact creature tokens.
3. When Ancestral Statue enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning itself from the battlefield to your hand.
4. Activate Krark-Clan Ironworks by sacrificing the Gnomes, adding CCCC.
5. Repeat.

This loop is a masterclass in recycling, fueled by Oltec Matterweaver's ability to double up on artifact tokens whenever you cast a creature. As you repeatedly cast Ancestral Statue, its own entry trigger bounces it right back to your hand while Oltec Matterweaver churns out Gnomes—a harvest whose yield is instantly doubled by Parallel Lives. You then feed those freshly minted Gnomes into Krark-Clan Ironworks to generate the colorless mana needed to cast the Statue all over again, turning a simple mechanical loop into an endless engine of sacrifice, entry, and exit triggers.
