Toph, the First Metalbender + Toph, Hardheaded Teacher + Shilgengar, Sire of Famine + Izzet Boilerworks

Toph, the First Metalbender

Toph, Hardheaded Teacher

Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

Izzet Boilerworks

How it works

1. Cast the artifact by paying 0.
2. Toph, Hardheaded Teacher triggers, earthbending Izzet Boilerworks.
3. Resolve the artifact spell.
4. Activate Shilgengar by sacrificing Izzet Boilerworks.
5. When Izzet Boilerworks dies, Toph, Hardheaded Teach triggers, returning Izzet Boilerworks from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
6. When Izzet Boilerworks enters, it triggers, returning the artifact cast in step 1 from the battlefield to your hand, as it's a land due to Toph, the First Metalbender.
7. Resolve the Shilgengar ability
8. Repeat.

This intricate loop turns the laws of reality upside down by leveraging Toph, the First Metalbender to permanently turn your cheap artifacts into lands. Once this foundation is laid, casting that artifact triggers Toph, Hardheaded Teacher to earthbend your Izzet Boilerworks into a land-creature, making it vulnerable to sacrifice. You then feed that animated Izzet Boilerworks to Shilgengar, Sire of Famine to generate a Blood token and trigger Toph, Hardheaded Teacher's safety net to bring the land right back to the battlefield. When Izzet Boilerworks returns, its enter-the-battlefield ability forces you to return a land to your hand—and because Toph, the First Metalbender has turned your artifact into a land, it bounces right back to your grip, ready to be recast and repeat the cycle indefinitely for boundless triggers.
