Sakura-Tribe Scout + Amulet of Vigor + Freed from the Real + Izzet Boilerworks

Sakura-Tribe Scout

Amulet of Vigor

Freed from the Real

Izzet Boilerworks

How it works

1. Activate Sakura-Tribe Scout by tapping it, putting Izzet Boilerworks onto the battlefield from your hand.
2. When Izzet Boilerworks enters the battlefield, it and Amulet of Vigor trigger.
3. Resolve the Amulet of Vigor trigger, untapping Izzet Boilerworks.
4. Activate Izzet Boilerworks by tapping it, adding .
5. Resolve the Izzet Boilerworks trigger from step 2, returning it to your hand from the battlefield.
6. Activate Freed from the Real's second ability by paying , untapping Sakura-Tribe Scout.
7. Repeat.

This clever loop turns the self-bouncing nature of Izzet Boilerworks into a net-positive mana engine by capitalizing on replacement triggers and activated abilities. Amulet of Vigor is the crucial catalyst here, allowing the otherwise sluggish Izzet Boilerworks to untap immediately upon entry so it can be tapped for blue and red mana. Meanwhile, Freed from the Real enchants Sakura-Tribe Scout, giving you a repeatable way to untap the creature using the blue mana you just generated, and Sakura-Tribe Scout's tap ability continuously drops the returning Izzet Boilerworks right back onto the battlefield.
