How it works

  1. Declare Azra Smokeshaper as an attacker.
  2. When it isn't blocked, activate up to seven lands you control by tapping them, adding at least 3U manaB manaB mana.
  3. Activate Palinchron's ninjutsu ability by paying 2U manaB mana and returning Azra Smokeshaper from the battlefield to your hand, putting Palinchron onto the battlefield from your hand tapped and attacking.
  4. When Palinchron enters the battlefield, it triggers, untapping up to seven lands.
  5. Activate Azra Smokeshaper's ninjutsu ability by paying 1B mana and returning Palinchron from the battlefield to your hand, putting Azra Smokeshaper onto the battlefield from your hand tapped and attacking.
  6. Repeat from step 2.
  7. If you control up to seven lands that can tap to produce at least 4U manaB manaB mana, this combo nets infinite mana.

This ingenious loop relies on a clever tag-team between Azra Smokeshaper and Palinchron to constantly bounce each other back to your hand via ninjutsu while generating a surplus of mana. Every time Palinchron hits the battlefield, its triggered ability untaps your lands to replenish your pool far beyond what the activation costs demand, while Satoru Umezawa sits proudly in command, granting that vital ninjutsu keyword to Palinchron from your hand in the first place and card-filtering your library along the way.
