How it works

  1. Activate Traxos by tapping it, adding 1.
  2. Activate Sensei's Divining Top's second ability by tapping it, causing you to draw a card and put Sensei's Divining Top on top of your library.
  3. Cast Sensei's Divining Top from the top of your library by paying 1.
  4. Traxos triggers, untapping itself.
  5. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms Sensei's Divining Top into a self-sustaining engine by repeatedly drawing and recasting it from the top of your library. The magic relies heavily on Crystal Skull, Isu Spyglass, which lets you play the Top directly from the top of your library while also tapping for blue mana, and Cryptolith Rite, which grants your creatures the ability to tap for mana so you can tap Traxos, Scourge of Kroog to pay for the Top's casting cost. Every time you cast the historic artifact, Traxos triggers to untap itself, keeping the sequence going endlessly and generating infinite storm count, card draw, and artifact triggers.
