Paradox Engine + Strionic Resonator + Gilded Lotus

Paradox Engine

Strionic Resonator

Gilded Lotus

How it works

1. Cast the spell, triggering Paradox Engine.
2. Tap Gilded Lotus for 3.
3. Pay 2 and tap Strionic Resonator to copy the Paradox Engine trigger.
4. Resolve the copied Paradox Engine trigger.
5. Repeat from step 2 for infinite mana and nonland permanent untaps.

This loop turns a modest setup into an engine of endless potential by weaponizing the untap trigger of Paradox Engine. Every time you cast a spell, Paradox Engine triggers to refresh your board, meaning the mana rock you rely on—Gilded Lotus—can be constantly readied to fuel more spells and abilities. The real brilliance of the sequence lies in Strionic Resonator, which steps in to copy that very same Paradox Engine trigger by paying its activation cost and tapping. By multiplying your untap triggers, you create a self-sustaining loop that generates infinite colored mana and endlessly untaps your nonland permanents.
