Toph, the First Metalbender + Toph, Hardheaded Teacher + Golgari Rot Farm + Coastal Hornclaw

Toph, the First Metalbender

Toph, Hardheaded Teacher

Golgari Rot Farm

Coastal Hornclaw

How it works

1. Cast the artifact by paying 0.
2. Toph, Hardheaded Teacher triggers, earthbending Golgari Rot Farm.
3. Resolve the artifact spell.
4. Activate Coastal Hornclaw by sacrificing Golgari Rot Farm.
5. When Golgari Rot Farm dies, Toph, Hardheaded Teach triggers, returning Golgari Rot Farm from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
6. When Golgari Rot Farm enters, it triggers, returning the artifact cast in step 1 from the battlefield to your hand, as it's a land due to Toph, the First Metalbender.
7. Resolve the Coastal Hornclaw ability
8. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms your mana base and cheap artifacts into an infinite engine by weaving together type-changing magic and sacrifice mechanics. Toph, the First Metalbender does the crucial heavy lifting behind the scenes, turning your non-token artifacts into lands so they interact seamlessly with your other permanents. Meanwhile, Toph, Hardheaded Teacher triggers whenever you cast a spell to earthbend—turning lands into creatures with a built-in safety net that returns them to the battlefield tapped if they die or are exiled. By sacrificing the earthbent Golgari Rot Farm to Coastal Hornclaw's activation, you trigger that land-creature safety net to immediately bring it right back, which in turn triggers its own entry ability to bounce your cheap artifact back to your hand for another round.
