How it works

  1. Cause Orcish Vandal to become an artifact using Neurok Transmuter.
  2. Activate Orcish Vandal by tapping it, dealing 2 damage to Smaug.
  3. Smaug triggers, creating two Treasure tokens.
  4. Activate Clock of Omens by tapping the Treasures, untapping Orcish Vandal.
  5. Repeat from step 2.

This delightfully convoluted contraption transforms a grumpy dragon into an endless engine of wealth by weaponizing the rules of type-changing. We begin by employing Neurok Transmuter's first ability to turn Orcish Vandal into an artifact, allowing it to both pay its own sacrifice cost and interact with mechanical synergies. Once transformed, the Vandal targets the mighty Smaug the Impenetrable with its fiery 2 damage; because Smaug is indestructible and features a trigger that rewards noncombat damage with Treasure tokens, he happily generates two glittering riches without a scratch. Those newly minted Treasures are immediately put to work by Clock of Omens, whose ability taps them to untap our industrious Orcish Vandal so the loop can begin anew.
