Toph, the First Metalbender + Haru, Hidden Talent + Bloodline Pretender + Troubled Healer

Toph, the First Metalbender

Haru, Hidden Talent

Bloodline Pretender

Troubled Healer

How it works

1. Cast Bloodline Pretender by paying 3.
2. When Bloodline Pretender enters, Haru triggers, targeting Bloodline Pretender as it is a land due to Toph.
3. Activate Troubled Healer by sacrificing Bloodline Pretender.
4. When Bloodline Pretender dies, Haru triggers, returning Bloodline Pretender from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
5. When Bloodline Pretender enters, Haru triggers, targeting Bloodline Pretender as it is a land due to Toph.
6. Resolve the Troubled Healer ability.
7. Repeat from step 3.

This clever loop turns the battlefield into a recursive workshop by leveraging Toph, the First Metalbender's static ability to treat nontoken artifacts—such as Bloodline Pretender—as lands. Because Bloodline Pretender has changeling, it counts as an Ally, allowing Haru, Hidden Talent to continually earthbend it into a creature whenever it enters the battlefield. You can then feed this animated artifact creature directly into Troubled Healer's activation cost, sacrificing it to prevent damage. Every time Bloodline Pretender dies in this manner, the earthbend delayed-return effect brings it right back to the battlefield tapped to restart the cycle, generating an endless stream of artifact and creature triggers.
