Arcbound Reclaimer + Showdown of the Skalds + Jeweled Lotus + Mystic Forge

Arcbound Reclaimer

Showdown of the Skalds

Jeweled Lotus

Mystic Forge

How it works

1. Cast Jeweled Lotus either from your hand or from the top of your library by paying 0
2. Showdown of the Skalds triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Arcbound Reclaimer.
3. Activate Jeweled Lotus by tapping and sacrificing it.
4. Activate Arcbound Reclaimer by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, putting Jeweled Lotus from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
5. Repeat.

This clever little loop uses Mystic Forge as your command center, allowing you to peek at the top of your library and cast Jeweled Lotus directly from the top for free. Every time you cast it, Showdown of the Skalds triggers its second and third lore chapters to supply a fresh +1/+1 counter right back onto Arcbound Reclaimer. You then sacrifice the Lotus for mana and use that counter to activate the Reclaimer, recycling the Lotus straight back to the top of your library to repeat the process.
