Toph, the First Metalbender + Toph, Hardheaded Teacher + Shilgengar, Sire of Famine + Arid Archway

Toph, the First Metalbender

Toph, Hardheaded Teacher

Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

Arid Archway

How it works

1. Cast the artifact by paying 0.
2. Toph, Hardheaded Teacher triggers, earthbending Arid Archway.
3. Resolve the artifact spell.
4. Activate Shilgengar by sacrificing Arid Archway.
5. When Arid Archway dies, Toph, Hardheaded Teach triggers, returning Arid Archway from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
6. When Arid Archway enters, it triggers, returning the artifact cast in step 1 from the battlefield to your hand, as it's a land due to Toph, the First Metalbender.
7. Resolve the Shilgengar ability
8. Repeat.

This ingenious loop centers around Toph, the First Metalbender turning your cheap artifacts into lands, making them eligible targets for Arid Archway's bounce ability when it enters the battlefield. As you recast that artifact, Toph, Hardheaded Teacher triggers to earthbend Arid Archway into a creature, allowing Shilgengar, Sire of Famine to sacrifice it for a Blood token while also triggering Toph, Hardheaded Teacher's earthbend-induced return mechanism to loop Arid Archway right back into play. With Shilgengar feeding on your animated land to generate resources and the continuous cycle resetting your artifacts, you endlessly repeat the process to flood the board with infinite value, death triggers, and Blood tokens.
