Toph, the First Metalbender + Toph, Hardheaded Teacher + Lithatog + Guildless Commons

Toph, the First Metalbender

Toph, Hardheaded Teacher

Lithatog

Guildless Commons

How it works

1. Cast the artifact by paying 0.
2. Toph, Hardheaded Teacher triggers, earthbending Guildless Commons.
3. Resolve the artifact spell.
4. Activate Lithatog by sacrificing Guildless Commons.
5. When Guildless Commons dies, Toph, Hardheaded Teach triggers, returning Guildless Commons from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
6. When Guildless Commons enters, it triggers, returning the artifact cast in step 1 from the battlefield to your hand, as it's a land due to Toph, the First Metalbender.
7. Resolve the Lithatog ability
8. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms a humble zero-mana artifact into a perpetual motion machine by turning it into a land right before your eyes. **Toph, the First Metalbender** does the heavy lifting of making your nontoken artifacts into lands, allowing **Guildless Commons** to bounce the artifact back to your hand when it enters the battlefield. As you recast that artifact, **Toph, Hardheaded Teacher** triggers to continually earthbend Guildless Commons, setting it up as a recurring sacrifice target. Finally, **Lithatog** acts as the engine by devouring Guildless Commons for power, whose death triggers Toph, Hardheaded Teacher's safety net to return it straight to the battlefield for another round.
