Rydia, Summoner of Mist + There and Back Again + Barbara Wright + Hex Parasite + Seedcradle Witch
How it works
- At the beginning of your precombat main phase, There and Back Again triggers, putting a lore counter on it and triggering its third chapter ability, creating a 6/6 Smaug legendary creature token and sacrifice There and Back Again.
- Activate Rydia by paying 5 and tapping it, returning There and Back Again from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on it. As There and Back Again enters the battlefield, choose to have it enter with three lore counters due to its read-ahead ability.
- There and Back Again's third chapter ability triggers. Holding priority, activate Hex Parasite by paying 1B/P, removing the finality counter from There and Back Again.
- Resolve the There and Back Again trigger, creating a 6/6 Smaug legendary creature token and sacrifice There and Back Again.
- Put a Smaug token into your graveyard due to the legend rule, triggering its ability, creating fourteen Treasure tokens.
- Activate eleven Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding 8.
- Activate Seedcradle Witch by paying 2, untapping Rydia and giving it +3/+3 until end of turn.
- Repeat from step 2.
This fascinating loop turns an unending cycle of dragon hoards and history lessons into limitless wealth and power. Barbara Wright is the linchpin that makes it all possible, granting your Sagas read-ahead so that There and Back Again can immediately enter with three lore counters and trigger its dragon-crafting third chapter. When Rydia, Summoner of Mist plucks There and Back Again right back out of the graveyard with her Summon ability, Hex Parasite steps in to neatly strip away the finality counter before it can exile the Saga for good. As the legendary Smaug tokens clash with the legend rule and tumble into the graveyard, their explosive demise floods your board with fourteen Treasure tokens. Finally, Seedcradle Witch feeds on that ocean of mana to repeatedly untap Rydia, letting you repeat the entire spectacle infinitely while growing your creatures to colossal proportions.
