How it works

  1. Activate Selvala by paying G mana and tapping it, adding at least 3G manaG manaG mana.
  2. Activate Whip Silk by paying G mana, returning it to your hand from the battlefield.
  3. Cast Whip Silk by paying G mana, targeting Selvala.
  4. Malachite Talisman triggers, causing you to pay 3 to untap Selvala.
  5. Repeat.
  6. If you control a creature with power seven or greater, this combo nets infinite colored mana, and you may then target any other permanent using Malachite Talisman's ability.

This ingenious loop turns Selvala, Heart of the Wilds into a massive mana engine, provided you control a creature with power seven or greater to fuel its tap ability for a bounty of colored mana. To keep the gears turning, you enchant Selvala with Whip Silk so you can repeatedly bounce the Aura back to your hand for a modest green investment and recast it. Every time you cast that green spell, Malachite Talisman springs into action, asking for a three-mana fee to untap Selvala and prep her for another activation. Because Selvala yields far more mana than the combined costs of recasting the Whip Silk and paying the Talisman's trigger, you end up with infinite colored mana, an infinitely high storm count, and the ability to untap any other permanent you control an arbitrary number of times.
