How it works

  1. Cast Walking Ballista by paying 0.
  2. Walking Ballista enters the battlefield and dies as a state-based action due to having zero toughness.
  3. Mortuary and Amareth trigger.
  4. Resolve the Mortuary trigger, putting Walking Ballista on top of your library from your graveyard.
  5. Resolve the Amareth trigger, causing you to reveal Walking Ballista from the top of your library and put it into your hand.
  6. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms a zero-mana artifact into an endless engine of repetition, utilizing Mortuary's graveyard trigger to instantly salvage Walking Ballista the moment state-based actions send it to the bin. As the Ballista continually cycles from the battlefield back to your library, Amareth, the Lustrous seizes the opportunity to match shared card types on every entry, effortlessly drawing the Walking Ballista right back to your hand. Because you can recast it for zero mana each iteration, this sequence generates boundless storm count, along with infinite creature entries and exits to fuel any secondary payoff you might desire.
