Pearl-Ear, Imperial Advisor + Cloudstone Curio + Faceless One + Case of the Shattered Pact

Pearl-Ear, Imperial Advisor

Cloudstone Curio

Faceless One

Case of the Shattered Pact

How it works

1. Cast Faceless One by paying 0 due to Pearl-Ear.
2. When Faceless One enters the battlefield, Cloudstone Curio triggers, returning Case of the Shattered Pact from the battlefield to your hand.
3. Cast Case of the Shattered Pact by paying 0 due to Pearl-Ear.
4. When Case of the Shattered Pact enters the battlefield, it and Cloudstone Curio trigger.
5. Resolve the Case of the Shattered Pact trigger, causing you to search your library for a basic land card and put it into your hand.
6. Resolve the Cloudstone Curio trigger, returning Faceless One from the battlefield to your hand.
7. Repeat.

This clever loop hinges on reducing your spells to zero mana through Pearl-Ear, Imperial Advisor's affinity for Auras, turning your commander into a recurring engine. By casting Faceless One for free, you trigger Cloudstone Curio to bounce Case of the Shattered Pact back to your hand, which can then be recast for free thanks to Pearl-Ear's cost reduction. When Case of the Shattered Pact enters the battlefield, its own search ability triggers alongside Cloudstone Curio, allowing you to bounce Faceless One so the cycle can begin anew. This endless bounce-and-cast choreography pulls every basic land straight out of your library while generating infinite storm count and creature entry triggers.
