Toph, the First Metalbender + Toph, Hardheaded Teacher + Gruul Turf + Troubled Healer

Toph, the First Metalbender

Toph, Hardheaded Teacher

Gruul Turf

Troubled Healer

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 Troubled Healer 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 Troubled Healer ability
8. Repeat.

This brilliant loop relies on Toph, the First Metalbender transforming your cheap artifacts into lands the moment they hit the battlefield, allowing Gruul Turf to bounce them back to your hand when it enters. As you repeatedly cast and re-cast your artifact, Toph, Hardheaded Teacher triggers to continuously earthbend your lands into creature-lands. You can then feed those animated lands directly to Troubled Healer's sacrifice ability to prevent damage, which triggers Toph, Hardheaded Teacher to resurrect the fallen Gruul Turf right back onto the battlefield to restart the cycle.
