Ich-Tekik, Salvage Splicer + Arcbound Reclaimer + Dark Sphere + Fortune Teller's Talent
How it works
- Activate Dark Sphere by tapping and sacrificing it.
- Ich-Tekik's second ability triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on it and each Golem you control.
- Activate Arcbound Reclaimer by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, putting Dark Sphere from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
- Cast Dark Sphere from the top of your library by paying 0.
- Repeat.
This ingenious loop transforms a seemingly unassuming defensive artifact into an infinite engine by leveraging a clever cost-reduction setup. With Fortune Teller's Talent at Level 3, your spells cast from anywhere other than your hand—such as the top of your library—cost {2} less, allowing you to cast the free-to-play Dark Sphere for zero mana. Once Dark Sphere hits the graveyard, you activate Arcbound Reclaimer by removing a +1/+1 counter to recycle it right back to the top of your library, where Fortune Teller's Talent lets you play it again immediately. Meanwhile, every sacrifice of Dark Sphere triggers Ich-Tekik, Salvage Splicer to continuously grow itself and your Golems with an endless supply of +1/+1 counters, generating infinite artifact triggers along the way.
