How it works

  1. Activate Prototype Portal by paying 0 and tapping it, creating a token copy of Tanglepool Bridge.
  2. When Tanglepool Bridge enters the battlefield, Tiller Engine triggers, untapping it.
  3. Activate the Tanglepool Bridge token by tapping it, adding U mana.
  4. Activate Filigree Sages by paying U mana, untapping Prototype Portal.
  5. Repeat.

This clever loop spins up an endless supply of artifact land tokens by leaning heavily on cost-reduction and untap mechanics. Prototype Portal sets the foundation by continually stamping out copies of Tanglepool Bridge, which enters the battlefield tapped. That's where Tiller Engine swoops in, turning that drawback into an advantage by automatically untapping the bridge so it can be tapped immediately for blue mana. To keep the engine running, Filigree Sages uses that generated mana to untap Prototype Portal, and Zirda, the Dawnwaker ensures this crucial activation cost is discounted just enough to make the loop entirely self-sustaining.
