How it works

  1. Cause Orcish Vandal to become an artifact using Ashnod's Transmogrant.
  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 engine transforms simple pyroclasm into an infinite factory by turning your pyromancer into a machine. First, Ashnod's Transmogrant permanently retypes Orcish Vandal into an artifact, allowing the Vandal to feed its own mechanical needs. When Orcish Vandal taps to shoot Smaug the Impenetrable, Smaug's indestructible nature shrugs off the blow while its triggered ability translates that 2 damage into a pair of fresh Treasure tokens. Clock of Omens then uses those newly minted Treasures as untap fuel to ready Orcish Vandal for another round, creating a closed loop that spits out infinite tapped Treasure tokens and endless artifact entry triggers.
