Sam, Loyal Attendant

Exchange of Words

Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender

Initiates of the Ebon Hand

How it works

1. Cast Exchange of Words by paying 1.
2. When Exhcange of Words enters the battlefield, it triggers, switching the text boxes of Initiates of the Ebon Hand and Syr Ginger.
3. Activate Syr Ginger by paying 0, adding .
4. Repeat step 3.

This clever combo relies on Exchange of Words to completely swap the text boxes of Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender and Initiates of the Ebon Hand, effectively giving Syr Ginger the ability to tap and produce black mana for a cost of zero. Sam, Loyal Attendant provides the underlying engine by passively reducing the activation costs of your Foods, though the true infinite mana loop here is fueled directly by Syr Ginger masquerading as the Initiates. Because Syr Ginger's new text box now reads "{1}: Add {B}" (with its cost reduced to zero thanks to Sam, Loyal Attendant), you can tap and untap it repeatedly to generate an unbounded supply of black mana.
