How it works

  1. Cast Whim of Volrath with buyback by paying 2U mana, targeting Sakashima of a Thousand Faces.
  2. Orvar triggers, creating a token copy of Sakashima of a Thousand Faces that enters the battlefield as a token copy of Orvar.
  3. Resolve Whim of Volrath, returning it to your hand.
  4. Cast Whim of Volrath with buyback by paying 2U mana, targeting any Island that enters the battlefield untapped.
  5. Orvar, Sakashima of a Thousand Faces and the Sakashima of a Thousand Faces token trigger, creating three token copies of the Island.
  6. Resolve Whim of Volrath, returning it to your hand.
  7. Activate the Island tokens by tapping them, adding U manaU manaU mana.
  8. Repeat from step 4.
  9. Optionally, you may repeat steps 1 through 3 one additional time to get infinite untapped Island tokens and blue mana.
  10. If you choose to get infinite mana, you can then target any permanent using Whim of Volrath to get infinite tokens of them.

This loop transforms a simple text-changing spell into an engine of endless replication, leveraging the legendary rule-ignoring static text of Sakashima of a Thousand Faces to let you stack up multiple copies of Orvar, the All-Form safely on your battlefield. Once Whim of Volrath is cast with its buyback cost paid, targeting your permanents, every copy of Orvar triggers to flood the board with tokens. By redirecting those triggers toward your untapped lands, you generate infinite mana to continually repurchase Whim of Volrath, eventually allowing you to copy any permanent you desire into oblivion.
