How it works

  1. Activate Chromatic Orrery's first ability by tapping it, adding 5.
  2. Activate Synod Artificer's second ability by paying 2 and tapping it, untapping Thousand-Year Elixir and Chromatic Orrery.
  3. Activate Thousand-Year Elixir by paying 1 and tapping it, untapping Synod Artificer.
  4. Repeat.
  5. Once you have infinite mana, you may activate Chromatic Orrery's second ability to draw infinite cards.

This elegant loop transforms the massive mana production of Chromatic Orrery into an engine for infinite resources, fueled by the artifact's ability to act as any color of mana you need. Synod Artificer serves as the engine's primary fulcrum, using its untap capability to ready both the Orrery and the artifact-untapper Thousand-Year Elixir. Meanwhile, Thousand-Year Elixir bypasses normal summoning restrictions so Synod Artificer can immediately tap and untap without waiting, while also joining the rotation to keep the sequence going. Once this intricate dance generates infinite mana, you can finally turn Chromatic Orrery's card-drawing activation to your advantage to draw your entire deck.
