How it works

  1. Cast Dark Sphere 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 Dark Sphere by tapping and sacrificing it.
  4. Activate Arcbound Reclaimer by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, putting Dark Sphere from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
  5. Repeat.

This delightful loop sets up a self-sustaining engine to endlessly cycle artifacts right from the top of your library. With The Reality Chip granting you the ability to play spells from the top of your library and peek at your cards, you can continually cast Dark Sphere for zero mana. Each time you cast that artifact, Showdown of the Skalds triggers its second and third lore chapters to replenish the exact +1/+1 counter that Arcbound Reclaimer needs to remove. You then tap Arcbound Reclaimer's activated ability to recycle Dark Sphere from the graveyard back onto the library's peak, ensuring the cycle can repeat indefinitely for limitless artifact triggers and storm count.
