Nurturing Pixie + Earthcraft + Conspiracy

Nurturing Pixie

Earthcraft

Conspiracy

How it works

1. Activate a basic Plains by tapping it, adding .
2. Cast Nurturing Pixie by paying .
3. When Nurturing Pixie enters the battlefield, it triggers.
4. Holding priority, activate Earthcraft by tapping Nurturing Pixie, untapping the Plains.
5. Resolve the Nurturing Pixie trigger, returning it to your hand from the battlefield, as it is not a Faerie due to Conspiracy.
6. Repeat.

This clever loop turns Nurturing Pixie into a self-returning engine by leveraging Earthcraft to untap your land while bypassing Nurturing Pixie's intended Faerie restriction entirely. The secret catalyst here is Conspiracy, which silently rewrites creature types across all zones to ensure Nurturing Pixie is never a Faerie, allowing the Pixie's own enters-the-battlefield ability to legally target and bounce itself back to your hand. By constantly replaying the creature for the mana generated from tapping it to Earthcraft, you generate an endless cascade of entry and exit triggers and storm count.
