How it works

  1. Cast the artifact by paying 0.
  2. Toph, Hardheaded Teacher triggers, earthbending Azorius Chancery.
  3. Resolve the artifact spell.
  4. Activate Need for Speed by sacrificing Azorius Chancery.
  5. When Azorius Chancery dies, Toph, Hardheaded Teach triggers, returning Azorius Chancery from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
  6. When Azorius Chancery enters, it triggers, returning the artifact cast in step 1 from the battlefield to your hand, as it's a land due to Toph, the First Metalbender.
  7. Resolve the Need for Speed ability
  8. Repeat.

This clever loop turns your zero-mana artifact into an infinite engine by leveraging Toph, the First Metalbender to transform every nontoken artifact you control into a land. With that permanent land type active, the artifact can be sacrificed to Need for Speed to fuel hasty creature activations. As that artifact hits the graveyard, Toph, Hardheaded Teacher triggers to return it safely to the battlefield, where Azorius Chancery's entry trigger bounces the artifact right back to your hand. By repeating this cycle, you continuously trigger an endless succession of landfalls, sacrifices, and artifact entries.
