Hamza, Guardian of Arashin + Cloudstone Curio + Life Finds a Way

Hamza, Guardian of Arashin

Cloudstone Curio

Life Finds a Way

How it works

1. Cast the creature by paying 0 due to Hamza.
2. When the creature enters the battlefield, Life Finds A Way triggers, as well as Cloudstone Curio if the creature isn't an artifact.
3. Resolve the Cloudstone Curio trigger, if applicable, choosing to return nothing to your hand.
4. Resolve the Life Finds A Way trigger, creating a copy of a nonartifact creature token you control.
5. When the creature token enters the battlefield, Cloudstone Curio triggers, returning the creature cast in step 1 to your hand from the battlefield.
6. Repeat.

This elegant loop turns a modest creature into an endless engine of creation by leaning heavily on cost-reduction and token generation. Thanks to Hamza, Guardian of Arashin, your qualifying creature spells cost enough less to cast for free, which provides the initial fuel for the turn. As that creature enters, Life Finds a Way triggers whenever it boasts a power of 4 or greater, using populate to duplicate your existing nonartifact creature tokens. Meanwhile, Cloudstone Curio watches the battlefield for nonartifact permanents arriving, letting you bounce the original creature back to your hand so you can cast it all over again without ever running out of resources.
