Dargo, the Shipwrecker + Ruthless Technomancer + Heat Shimmer
How it works
- Cast Ruthless Technomancer by paying 3.
- When Ruthless Technomancer enters the battlefield, it triggers, causing you to sacrifice Dargo and create seven Treasure artifact tokens.
- Choose to return Dargo to the command zone from your graveyard.
- Activate three Treasure tokens by tapping and sacrificing them, adding 1.
- Cast Heat Shimmer by paying 2, creating a token copy of Ruthless Technomancer.
- When the Ruthless Technomancer token enters the battlefield, it triggers, causing you to sacrifice Ruthless Technomancer and create two Treasure artifact tokens.
- Cast Dargo from the command zone by paying .
- Activate four Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding 2.
- Activate the Ruthless Technomancer token by paying 2 and sacrificing two Treasures, returning the nontoken Ruthless Technomancer from your graveyard to the battlefield.
- When the nontoken Ruthless Technomancer enters the battlefield, it triggers, causing you to sacrifice Dargo and create seven Treasure artifact tokens.
- Choose to return Dargo to the command zone from your graveyard.
- Cast Dargo by paying and sacrificing Ruthless Technomancer.
- Repeat from step 8.
This dynamic loop harnesses Dargo, the Shipwrecker and Ruthless Technomancer in a relentless cycle of recycling and sacrifice, fueled by the clever duplication of Heat Shimmer. Because Dargo inherently costs {2} less to cast for each permanent sacrificed this turn, sending him to the command zone allows him to return for a mere single red mana by utilizing the mountain of Treasure tokens generated along the way. Ruthless Technomancer acts as both the engine and the payoff, turning Dargo's massive power into a tidal wave of mana while its second ability can be fueled to continuously pull the original Technomancer back from the graveyard. Meanwhile, the token copy produced by Heat Shimmer keeps the recursion rolling seamlessly without missing a beat.
