How it works

  1. Activate a basic Island by tapping it, adding U mana.
  2. Activate Earthcraft by tapping Sphinx's Disciple, untapping the Island.
  3. Activate Freed from the Real by paying U mana, untapping Sphinx's Disciple.
  4. Sphinx's Disciple triggers, causing you to draw a card.
  5. Repeat.

This ingenious loop turns a modest common into an unstoppable engine by leveraging Freed from the Real to repeatedly untap Sphinx's Disciple after Earthcraft taps it to untap a basic land. Every time the Disciple untaps, its inspired ability triggers to draw you a card, feeding the process infinitely. Since Freed from the Real's untap ability only costs a single blue mana—which you generate directly from the land Earthcraft untaps—the loop pays for itself entirely while cycling through your entire deck.
