Lonis, Cryptozoologist + Academy Manufactor + Scholar of the Ages + Cloudshift

Lonis, Cryptozoologist

Academy Manufactor

Scholar of the Ages

Cloudshift

How it works

1. Cast Cloudshift by paying , blinking Scholar of the Ages.
2. When Scholar of the Ages enters the battlefield, it and Lonis trigger.
3. Resolve the Scholar of the Ages trigger, returning Cloudshift and up to one other instant or sorcery card from your graveyard to your hand.
4. Resolve the Lonis trigger, creating a Food, a Clue, and a Treasure artifact token.
5. Activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding .
6. Repeat.

This elegant loop relies on the recursive power of Scholar of the Ages, which continuously recycles Cloudshift back to your hand every time it re-enters the battlefield. As Scholar blinks, Lonis, Cryptozoologist triggers to investigate whenever the creature arrives, while Academy Manufactor steps in to upgrade that single Clue into a bounty of a Clue, a Food, and a Treasure all at once. You then crack that newly minted Treasure for the white mana needed to recast Cloudshift, keeping the cycle infinitely spinning.
