How it works

  1. Activate Ashnod's Transmogrant by tapping and sacrificing it, putting a +1/+1 counter on Jan Jansen and causing it to become an artifact creature.
  2. Activate Jan Jansen's first ability by tapping it and sacrificing another artifact creature.
  3. When the creature dies, Dross Scorpion triggers, untapping Jan Jansen.
  4. Resolve the Jan Jansen ability, creating two Treasure artifact tokens.
  5. Activate Jan Jansen's second ability by tapping it and sacrificing a Treasure token, creating two 1/1 Construct artifact creature tokens.
  6. Activate a Treasure token by tapping and sacrificing it, adding 1.
  7. Activate Skullclamp's equip ability by paying 1, attaching it to a Construct token.
  8. The Construct dies as a state-based action due to having zero toughness.Skullclamp and Dross Scorpion trigger.
  9. Resolve the Skullclamp trigger, causing you to draw two cards.
  10. Resolve the Dross Scorpion trigger, untapping Jan Jansen.
  11. Repeat from step 2.

By turning Jan Jansen, Chaos Crafter into an artifact creature with Ashnod's Transmogrant, we set up a clever, self-sustaining loop that transforms our resources. Dross Scorpion acts as the mechanical engine here, constantly untapping Jan Jansen every time an artifact creature bites the dust. Skullclamp provides the lethal toll for our freshly minted Construct tokens—thanks to its +1/-1 toughness reduction, clamping a Construct immediately sends it to the graveyard, which both rewards us with a flood of card draw and triggers the Scorpion to keep the whole performance going.
