How it works
- Activate Helga by tapping it, adding at least eight that can only be spent to cast creature spells with mana value 4 or greater or creature spells with X in their mana cost.
- Cast Hoverguard Sweepers by paying 6.
- Helga triggers, causing you to draw a card, gain 1 life and put a +1/+1 counter on Helga.
- When Hoverguard Sweepers enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning itself from the battlefield to your hand.
- Activate Mind Over Matter by discarding a card, untapping Helga.
- Repeat.
This clever engine relies on Helga, Skittish Seer acting as a massive mana source, tapping for at least eight mana to fund the casting of Hoverguard Sweepers. Each time Hoverguard Sweepers hits the battlefield, its enter-the-battlefield trigger bounces itself right back to your hand, while Helga's triggered ability rewards you with card draw, life, and growing power every single time that creature spell is cast. To keep the loop going, Mind Over Matter provides the crucial untap effect by letting you discard a card to untap Helga, fueling the cycle infinitely and generating a storm of beneficial triggers.
