Sensei's Divining Top + Skyswimmer Koi + Lyse Hext

Sensei's Divining Top

Skyswimmer Koi

Lyse Hext

How it works

1. Cast Sensei's Divining Top by paying 0 due to Lyse Hext.
2. Lyse Hext's prowess ability triggers, giving it +1/+1 until end of turn.
3. When Sensei's Divining Top enters, Skyswimmer Koi triggers.
4. Holding priority, activate Sensei's Divining Top by tapping it, causing you to draw a card and put Sensei's Divining Top on top of your library.
5. Resolve the Skyswimmer Koi trigger, causing you to draw Sensei's Divining Top from your library, and then discard a card other than Sensei's Divining Top.
6. Repeat

This clever loop turns the classic Sensei's Divining Top into a self-contained card-drawing engine by leaning on cost reduction and triggered abilities. Lyse Hext pulls its weight by completely eliminating the artifact's mana cost, allowing you to cast it repeatedly for free while growing massive through prowess. Meanwhile, Skyswimmer Koi acts as the crucial bridge that intercepts the Top's entry, letting you draw it right back into your hand when paired with the artifact's own tap ability.
