How it works

  1. Cast Tormod's Crypt either from your hand or from the top of your library by paying 0
  2. Showdown of the Skalds triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Arcbound Reclaimer.
  3. Activate Tormod's Crypt by tapping and sacrificing it.
  4. Activate Arcbound Reclaimer by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, putting Tormod's Crypt from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
  5. Repeat.

This ingenious loop turns Tormod's Crypt into a self-sustaining engine by exploiting the top-deck manipulation of Mm'menon, the Right Hand, which allows you to cast artifacts directly from the top of your library. Whenever you cast that zero-mana artifact, Showdown of the Skalds triggers its second and third lore chapters to feed a +1/+1 counter right back onto Arcbound Reclaimer. You then immediately sacrifice Tormod's Crypt to its own ability, letting Arcbound Reclaimer strip away that newly acquired counter to recycle the Crypt back to the very top of your library—ready for Mm'menon, the Right Hand to cast it all over again.
