High Tide + Lore Drakkis + Ornithopter + Snap

High Tide

Lore Drakkis

Ornithopter

Snap

How it works

1. Cast High Tide by paying .
2. Cast Lore Drakkis for its Mutate cost by paying , targeting Ornithopter.
3. Lore Drakkis's mutate ability triggers, causing you to return Snap from your graveyard to your hand.
4. Cast Snap by paying 1, returning the mutated creature that contains the nontoken Lore Drakkis from the battlefield to your hand and untapping two Islands.
5. Cast Ornithopter by paying 0.
6. Repeat from step 2.

This loop transforms a humble zero-mana Ornithopter into an engine for infinite mana and storm count, anchored by the explosive mana-doubling power of High Tide. By mutating Lore Drakkis onto the Ornithopter, you trigger its ability to buy back Snap from your graveyard every single time it enters the fray. Casting Snap bounces the mutated creature right back to your hand while untapping two lands that now produce double blue due to High Tide, entirely paying for the bounce spell and generating a surplus of blue mana. Replaying the free Ornithopter lets you restart the mutation cycle endlessly, compounding your mana and your storm count with every iteration.
