Chain of Smog + Silverquill Apprentice

Chain of Smog

Silverquill Apprentice

How it works

1. Cast Chain of Smog by paying 1, targeting yourself.
2. Silverquill Apprentice triggers, giving a creature you control +1/+0 until end of turn.
3. Resolve Chain of Smog, causing you to discard two cards and copy Chain of Smog, targeting yourself.
4. Repeat from step 2.

This ingenious loop turns a seemingly self-destructive spell into a powerhouse by leaning into a clever psychological loophole on Chain of Smog, which lets you target yourself and endlessly copy the spell upon resolution. Because you are the one copying it, Silverquill Apprentice stands ready to capitalize on every single iteration with its magecraft ability, pumping your creatures' power into the stratosphere. Even though you are steadily discarding your hand along the way, the sheer velocity of the copied triggers ensures you achieve infinitely powerful creatures you control until end of turn without ever needing an opponent to cooperate.
