Ashaya, Soul of the Wild + Meloku the Clouded Mirror + Nissa, Resurgent Animist + Ornithopter

Ashaya, Soul of the Wild

Meloku the Clouded Mirror

Nissa, Resurgent Animist

Ornithopter

How it works

1. Cast Ornithopter by paying 0.
2. When Ornithopter enters the battlefield as a Forest land due to Ashaya, Nissa triggers, adding 1.
3. Activate Meloku by paying 1 and returning Ornithopter to your hand from the battlefield, creating a 1/1 Illusion creature token with flying.
4. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms free artifact casting into a self-sustaining engine by letting Ashaya, Soul of the Wild quietly rewrite the rules of the battlefield, turning your Ornithopter into a Forest the moment it arrives. That land status instantly wakes up Nissa, Resurgent Animist's landfall ability to generate the exact mana required to fuel Meloku the Clouded Mirror's activation. Meloku then bounces the Ornithopter right back to your hand for zero net mana spent, allowing you to replay the free artifact and repeat the cycle indefinitely.
