Filigree Sages + Gilded Lotus + Rings of Brighthearth

Filigree Sages

Gilded Lotus

Rings of Brighthearth

How it works

1. Activate Gilded Lotus by tapping it, adding .
2. Activate Filigree Sages by paying 2 targeting Gilded Lotus.
3. Rings of Brighthearth triggers, causing you to pay 2 to copying Filigree Sages' ability targeting Gilded Lotus.
4. Resolve the first Filigree Sages ability, untapping Gilded Lotus.
5. Activate Gilded Lotus by tapping it, adding .
6. Resolve the second Filigree Sages ability, untapping Gilded Lotus.
7. Repeat.

This elegant loop turns Gilded Lotus into a powerhouse of colored mana by leveraging Filigree Sages to constantly untap it. The magic that really supercharges this sequence is Rings of Brighthearth; by paying a small mana tax to copy the Sages' untap ability, you generate an extra untap trigger for every single activation. Because the Lotus produces three mana while the activation and copy together only cost four, you pull further ahead with every iteration, safely cycling your way to infinite colored mana in formats like Commander, Vintage, and Modern.
