Toph, the First Metalbender + Toph, Hardheaded Teacher + Gruul Turf + Bartolomé del Presidio

Toph, the First Metalbender

Toph, Hardheaded Teacher

Gruul Turf

Bartolomé del Presidio

How it works

1. Cast the artifact by paying 0.
2. Toph, Hardheaded Teacher triggers, earthbending Gruul Turf.
3. Resolve the artifact spell.
4. Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Gruul Turf.
5. When Gruul Turf dies, Toph, Hardheaded Teach triggers, returning Gruul Turf from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
6. When Gruul Turf 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 Bartolomé del Presidio ability
8. Repeat.

This clever loop turns the zero-cost artifact you cast into a repeatable engine by leaning heavily on Toph, the First Metalbender's static ability, which permanently turns all your nontoken artifacts into lands. Once the artifact enters, Toph, Hardheaded Teacher triggers to earthbend Gruul Turf, giving you a land-creature ready to be fed to Bartolomé del Presidio. When Gruul Turf dies, its own safety net and Toph, Hardheaded Teacher interact so that it returns to the battlefield tapped, which immediately triggers its bounce ability to pick the artifact back up to your hand. Because Gruul Turf also enters untapped later or resets the loop cleanly, replaying the artifact restarts the whole cycle to pump Bartolomé del Presidio with infinite +1/+1 counters while generating endless sacrifice, landfall, and trigger counts.
