Hermes, Overseer of Elpis

How it works

1. Cast Searing Touch with buyback by paying . Birgi, Blood Funnel and Hermes trigger.
2. Resolve the Birgi trigger, adding .
3. Resolve the Hermes trigger, creating a creature token.
4. Resolve the Blood Funnel trigger, causing you to sacrifice the creature token.
5. Resolve the Searing Touch spell.
6. Repeat.

This explosive loop turns the humble Searing Touch into a machine-gun of endless damage by chaining its buyback cost directly into your mana supply. Thanks to Memory Crystal, the buyback cost is reduced to just two generic mana, which is completely covered by the red mana generated by Birgi, God of Storytelling // Harnfel, Horn of Bounty and the generic cost reduction provided by Blood Funnel. Meanwhile, Hermes, Overseer of Elpis dutifully provides a fresh 1/1 Bird creature token with every noncreature spell cast, supplying the mandatory sacrifice fodder demanded by Blood Funnel's counter-trigger.
