Magistrate's Scepter + Resourceful Defense

Magistrate's Scepter

Resourceful Defense

How it works

1. Activate the Spacecraft or Planet's station ability by tapping another creature with power 3 or greater, putting at least three charge counters on the Spacecraft or Planet.
2. Activate Resourceful Defense by paying 4, moving at least three charge counters from the Spacecraft or Planet to Magistrate's Scepter.
3. Activate Magistrate's Scepter's second ability by tapping it and removing three charge counters from it, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
4. Repeat each turn.

This elegant loop harnesses Resourceful Defense to bypass Magistrate's Scepter's steep mana requirement for gathering charge counters. By utilizing some external station ability to load up counters elsewhere, Resourceful Defense's ability lets you effortlessly shift those counters onto Magistrate's Scepter. Once the Scepter has three counters, you can cash them in for an extra turn, repeating the process indefinitely to lock the game down.
