The Enigma Jewel // Locus of Enlightenment + Deserted Temple + Izzet Boilerworks

The Enigma Jewel // Locus of Enlightenment

Deserted Temple

Izzet Boilerworks

How it works

1. Activate Izzet Boilerworks by tapping it, adding .
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 Izzet Boilerworks.
4. Resolve both Deserted Temple abilities, untapping it and Izzet Boilerworks.
5. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms The Enigma Jewel into Locus of Enlightenment, which acts as the ultimate amplifier for activated abilities. By tapping Deserted Temple to untap itself, Locus of Enlightenment copies that untap ability to target Izzet Boilerworks instead, which easily covers the Deserted Temple activation cost while yielding a net gain of mana thanks to the dual-color output of Izzet Boilerworks. Because Locus of Enlightenment triggers whenever you activate a non-mana ability and copies it for free, you endlessly recycle your lands into infinite blue and red mana.
