Toph, the First Metalbender + Toph, Hardheaded Teacher + Altar of Dementia + Gruul Turf

Toph, the First Metalbender

Toph, Hardheaded Teacher

Altar of Dementia

Gruul Turf

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 Altar of Dementia 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 Altar of Dementia ability
8. Repeat.

This clever loop turns the static land-transforming magic of Toph, the First Metalbender into a relentless engine by treating your zero-cost artifacts as lands. With Toph, Hardheaded Teacher establishing the crucial recursion safety net whenever your lands die or enter, you can repeatedly feed your earthbent Gruul Turf to Altar of Dementia for endless milling. Because Gruul Turf's own entry trigger forces it to bounce a land back to your hand, the artifact you just cast conveniently returns to your grip to restart the cycle, letting you grind through your entire library while generating infinite triggers of every stripe.
