Whip Silk + Malachite Talisman + Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx

Whip Silk

Malachite Talisman

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx

How it works

1. Activate Nykthos' second ability by paying 2 and tapping it, adding at least seven .
2. Activate Whip Silk by paying , returning it to your hand from the battlefield.
3. Cast Whip Silk by paying , targeting any creature.
4. Malachite Talisman triggers, causing you to pay 3 to untap Nykthos.
5. Repeat.
6. If your devotion to green is at least eight, this combo nets infinite mana, and you may then target any other permanent using Malachite Talisman's ability.

This fascinating loop transforms the modest green mana symbols in your permanents into a boundless engine by exploiting the interaction between Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and a repeating cast. With sufficient green devotion fueling Nykthos's second ability, you generate an abundant surplus of green mana. You can then repeatedly return Whip Silk to your hand using its own activated ability and recast it, treating it as a green spell that triggers Malachite Talisman. Each time the Talisman's triggered ability rewards you for casting that enchantment, you pay a portion of your floating mana to untap Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, leaving you free to repeat the process and scale your resources infinitely.
