Samwise the Stouthearted + Dual Nature + Aluren

Samwise the Stouthearted

Dual Nature

Aluren

How it works

1. Cast Samwise the Stouthearted by paying 0 due to Aluren.
2. When Samwise the Stouthearted enters the battlefield, it and Dual Nature's first ability trigger.
3. Resolve the Samwise the Stouthearted trigger, returning nothing to your hand from your graveyard, and causing the Ring to tempt you.
4. Resolve the Dual Nature trigger, creating a token copy of Samwise the Stouthearted.
5. Put the nontoken Samwise the Stouthearted into your graveyard due to the legend rule.
6. Dual Nature's second ability triggers as well as the Samwise the Stouthearted token's enters-the-battlefield ability.
7. Resolve the Samwise the Stouthearted trigger, returning the nontoken Samwise the Stouthearted to your hand from your graveyard, and causing the Ring to tempt you.
8. Resolve the Dual Nature trigger, exiling the Samwise the Stouthearted token.
9. Repeat.

This intricate loop transforms Aluren into an engine for infinite triggers by leveraging the unique timing of creature spells. With Aluren allowing you to cast Samwise the Stouthearted for free, every entry onto the battlefield immediately sets off Dual Nature to conjure a token copy. The legend rule then forces the original nontoken Samwise the Stouthearted into the graveyard, triggering Dual Nature's cleanup ability while simultaneously fueling Samwise the Stouthearted's own entry trigger to recur the original card back to your hand. By repeating this dance, you endlessly loop the card between hand and battlefield to farm infinite entry triggers, departure triggers, deaths, and storm count.
