Zirda, the Dawnwaker + Power Artifact + Dino DNA + Priest of Gix

Zirda, the Dawnwaker

Power Artifact

Dino DNA

Priest of Gix

How it works

1. Activate Dino DNA by paying 2, creating a token copy of Priest of Gix that is a 6/6 Dinosaur.
2. When the Priest of Gix token enters the battlefield, it triggers, adding .
3. Repeat.

This ingenious loop turns Dino DNA into a mana-positive engine by stacking cost reductions, allowing you to bypass its normally steep activation fee. With both Zirda, the Dawnwaker and Power Artifact enchanting or supporting the artifact, the {6} cost to copy a creature card is slashed by a total of {4}, bringing it down to a mere {2} mana to activate. When you point this heavily discounted ability at a deceased Priest of Gix, the resulting token copy enters the battlefield and its triggered ability immediately refunds {B}{B}{B}—more than enough black mana to fuel the next repetition. By looping this process, you generate infinite black mana, infinite creature enters-the-battlefield triggers, and an endless army of 6/6 Dinosaur copies.
