The Enigma Jewel // Locus of Enlightenment + Deserted Temple + Dormant Volcano

The Enigma Jewel // Locus of Enlightenment

Deserted Temple

Dormant Volcano

How it works

1. Activate Dormant Volcano by tapping it, adding C.
2. Activate Deserted Temple's second ability by paying 1 and tapping it, targeting itself.
3. Locus of Enlightenment triggers, copying Deserted Temple's ability, targeting Dormant Volcano.
4. Resolve both Deserted Temple abilities, untapping it and Dormant Volcano.
5. Repeat.

This clever engine centers around Locus of Enlightenment—the transformed face of The Enigma Jewel—which owes its entire power to absorbing the activated abilities of other permanents. Because Locus of Enlightenment copies any non-mana activated ability you trigger, activating Deserted Temple to untap itself automatically triggers a copy that targets your Dormant Volcano. By tapping Dormant Volcano for colorless and red mana to fund the Deserted Temple activation, the copied loop effortlessly feeds itself to generate infinite mana of any type your lands can produce.
