Drafna, Founder of Lat-Nam

Manifold Key

Gilded Lotus

Temur Battlecrier

How it works

1. Activate Gilded Lotus by tapping it, adding .
2. Activate Manifold Key by paying 1 and tapping it, untapping Gilded Lotus.
3. Activate Drafna's first ability by paying 1, returning Manifold Key from the battlefield to your hand.
4. Cast Manifold Key by paying 0.
5. Repeat.

This engine sets up a neat little mana-positive loop by leaning on Gilded Lotus to generate three mana while requiring only two to run. By using Manifold Key to constantly untap the Lotus, you generate a surplus of mana that fuels the rest of the operation. Drafna, Founder of Lat-Nam steps in to return Manifold Key to your hand so you can recast it for zero mana—a cost conveniently reduced to nothing if you happen to have a heavy-hitting creature enabling Temur Battlecrier's discount. Repeating this cycle yields infinite artifact entries, leaves, and storm count without ever running out of gas.
