Emiel the Blessed + Jewel Thief + Zirda, the Dawnwaker

Emiel the Blessed

Jewel Thief

Zirda, the Dawnwaker

How it works

1. Activate Emiel the Blessed by paying 1, blinking Jewel Thief.
2. When Jewel Thief enters the battlefield, it triggers, creating a Treasure artifact token.
3. Activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding 1.
4. Repeat.

This clever loop relies on Zirda, the Dawnwaker to slash the activation cost of Emiel the Blessed down from three mana to just one, allowing you to repeatedly pay for and resolve its exile ability. With that cost reduced, blinking Jewel Thief lets you generate a fresh Treasure token upon re-entry every single cycle. You can then immediately crack that very same Treasure to pay the exact one-mana cost required to keep Emiel the Blessed running indefinitely.
