Molten-Core Maestro + Fanning the Flames

Molten-Core Maestro

Fanning the Flames

How it works

1. Cast Fanning the Flames with buyback by paying 3
2. Molten-Core Maestro triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on it and adding an amount of equal to its power.
3. Resolve Fanning the Flames, returning it to your hand.
4. Repeat.

This clever loop hinges on the synergy between Molten-Core Maestro and Fanning the Flames, turning a heavy buyback cost into a self-sustaining engine. Because casting Fanning the Flames with buyback costs five total mana, it naturally satisfies the condition on Molten-Core Maestro to generate red mana equal to its power. As the Maestro grows larger from its own triggered ability, each iteration yields more mana than the last, completely fueling the next buyback casting while steadily pumping out infinite damage, magecraft triggers, and storm count.
