How it works

  1. Activate Terra, Magical Adept by paying 4R manaG mana and tapping it, exiling it and returning it to the battlefield as Esper Terra.
  2. When Esper Terra enters the battlefield, its first chapter ability triggers, creating a token copy of Mesmerizing Dose.
  3. When the Mesmerizing Dose token enters the battlefield, it triggers, putting a lore counter on Esper Terra.
  4. Repeat from step 2 two additional times, from Esper Terra's second and third chapter abilities triggering.
  5. Esper Terra's fourth chapter ability triggers, causing you to add W manaW manaU manaU manaB manaB manaR manaR manaG manaG mana, and then exile Esper Terra and return it to the battlefield as Terra, Magical Adept.
  6. When Terra, Magical Adept enters the battlefield, it and Obsidian Battle-Axe trigger.
  7. Resolve the Terra trigger, causing you to mill five cards and return up to one enchantment card from among them from your graveyard to your hand.
  8. Resolve the Obsidian Battle-Axe trigger, attaching it to Terra.
  9. Repeat.

This intricate loop begins by paying {4}{R}{G} to transform Terra, Magical Adept into Esper Terra, which immediately kicks off a self-sustaining cycle using Esper Terra's own chapter abilities to repeatedly copy Mesmerizing Dose. Each time the Mesmerizing Dose token enters the battlefield, its ETB trigger proliferates, adding a lore counter directly back onto Esper Terra to instantly advance its chapters. Once Esper Terra reaches its final chapter, it produces a massive windfall of ten colored mana and cycles back into Terra, Magical Adept. That transformation triggers Terra, Magical Adept's entry ability to mill and recover enchantments, while Obsidian Battle-Axe neatly slides onto the creature to grant it haste, allowing the entire sequence to repeat indefinitely for boundless enters-the-battlefield triggers and colored mana.
