Sword of the Paruns + Power Artifact + Palladium Myr

Sword of the Paruns

Power Artifact

Palladium Myr

How it works

1. Activate Palladium Myr by tapping it, adding CC.
2. Activate Sword of the Paruns by paying 1, untapping Palladium Myr.
3. Repeat.

This classic artifact loop turns Palladium Myr into an absolute powerhouse of a mana generator by leveraging cost reduction and active untapping. With Power Artifact enchanting the Palladium Myr, the cost to activate Sword of the Paruns's untap ability is discounted from {3} down to just {1}{2}—wait, Power Artifact reduces generic costs by {2}, dropping the {3} activation cost down to precisely {1}. Because tapping Palladium Myr produces {C}{C}, you easily generate a net profit of one colorless mana on every single iteration. As an added bonus, Sword of the Paruns even pumps your team's stats depending on whether the equipped creature is tapped or untapped, but the real magic here is the endless loop of mana and untaps.
