Emiel the Blessed + Zirda, the Dawnwaker + Redcap Thief

Emiel the Blessed

Zirda, the Dawnwaker

Redcap Thief

How it works

1. Activate Emiel the Blessed by paying 1, blinking Redcap Thief.
2. When Redcap Thief enters the battlefield, it triggers, creating a Treasure artifact token.
3. Activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding 1.
4. Repeat.

By enlisting Zirda, the Dawnwaker to slash Emiel the Blessed's blink activation cost down from three mana to a single generic mana, the loop becomes self-sustaining thanks to Redcap Thief. Every time Emiel exiles and returns Redcap Thief to the battlefield, a fresh Treasure token is created, which you can immediately sacrifice for the exact mana needed to fund the next iteration. This engine runs seamlessly across Commander, Brawl, and Vintage formats to churn out an infinite procession of enters-the-battlefield and leaves-the-battlefield triggers.
