Crackdown Construct + Bludgeon Brawl

Bludgeon Brawl
Infinitely large creature until end of turn

How it works

  1. Activate the zero-cost artifact's equip ability by paying 0, targeting Crackdown Construct.
  2. Crackdown Construct triggers, giving itself +1/+1 until end of turn.
  3. Resolve the equip ability, attaching the artifact to Crackdown Construct.
  4. Repeat.

This clever loop turns ordinary objects into a relentless engine of growth by exploiting the rules of Bludgeon Brawl, which transforms any noncreature, non-Equipment artifact into an Equipment with a zero-cost equip ability (assuming its mana value is 0). Because activating that equip ability isn't a mana ability, Crackdown Construct eagerly watches you repeat the process, triggering its static-like growth repeatedly. With each iteration, the construct amasses an infinitely large body until end of turn, ready to deliver a devastating blow.
