This clever loop hinges on transforming a classic mana rock into a creature, allowing Training Grounds to fundamentally rewrite the math on Basalt Monolith's untap cost. Normally, untapping the Monolith costs three mana, which completely neutralizes the three colorless mana it produces; however, March of the Machines turns the Monolith into an artifact creature, letting the Grounds successfully slash that untap cost down to just a single mana. By cycling back and forth between tapping for three and untapping for one, you are left with a net gain of two colorless mana every single iteration, effortlessly generating an infinite supply of fuel for whatever massive spells you wish to cast.
