Toph, the First Metalbender + Toph, Hardheaded Teacher + Shilgengar, Sire of Famine + Gruul Turf

Toph, the First Metalbender

Toph, Hardheaded Teacher

Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

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 Shilgengar 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 Shilgengar ability
8. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms your battlefield into a self-sustaining engine by turning zero-mana artifacts into land-bouncing fodder with the help of Toph, the First Metalbender. Once those artifacts are treated as lands, playing them allows Gruul Turf to bounce them back to your hand upon entry, while its own death is readily absorbed by Shilgengar, Sire of Famine to churn out a steady supply of Blood tokens. Meanwhile, the constant casting of spells triggers Toph, Hardheaded Teacher to seamlessly loop your resources and keep the sequence rolling.
