How it works

  1. Activate Volrath by paying 1, turning Volrath into a 7/5 copy of Kami of Whispered Hopes.
  2. Activate Volrath using Kami of Whispered Hope's ability by tapping it, adding U manaU manaU manaU manaU manaU manaU mana.
  3. Activate Volrath by paying 1, turning it into a copy of Sleep-Cursed Faerie.
  4. Activate Volrath using Sleep-Cursed Faerie's ability by paying 1U mana, untapping it.
  5. Repeat.
  6. Once you have infinite U mana, repeat the combo for mana of any color.

This clever mana loop relies on Volrath, the Shapestealer acting as a chameleon that can continuously shift into whatever tool the situation requires. By first copying Kami of Whispered Hopes, Volrath gains a massive mana-producing tap ability that scales with its boosted 7/5 power, even further amplified by Kami of Whispered Hopes's own replacement effect if counters are around. Volrath then shifts into a copy of Sleep-Cursed Faerie to borrow its low-cost untap ability, allowing you to untap and repeat the process to generate infinite blue mana. Because Kami of Whispered Hopes taps for mana of *any* color based on that inflated power, you can eventually pivot your copied forms to generate boundless colored mana of every variety.
