Auriok Salvagers + Ashnod's Altar + Mycosynth Lattice + Ornithopter

Auriok Salvagers

Ashnod's Altar

Mycosynth Lattice

Ornithopter

How it works

1. Cast Ornithopter by paying 0.
2. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Ornithopter, adding CC.
3. Activate Auriok Salvagers by paying 2, returning Ornithopter from your graveyard to your hand.
4. Repeat.

The true alchemy of this loop lies in Mycosynth Lattice, which turns every single permanent into an artifact—meaning Ornithopter becomes an eligible target for Auriok Salvagers' graveyard recursion even though it normally has a mana value of zero. With the lattice setting the stage, you sacrifice the free Ornithopter to Ashnod's Altar for two colorles mana, then use that exact mana to fund the Auriok Salvagers' ability to bounce the thopter right back to your hand. Because Ornithopter costs nothing to recast, this mechanical cycle closes into a perpetual engine that effortlessly generates infinite sacrifices, leaves-the-battlefield triggers, and a boundless storm count.
