Elite Arcanist + Mind Over Matter + Dream Salvage + Verdant Eidolon

Elite Arcanist

Mind Over Matter

Dream Salvage

Verdant Eidolon

How it works

1. Cause an opponent to discard at least one card.
2. Activate a mana-producing permanent by tapping it, adding at least 1.
3. Activate Mind over Matter twice by discarding Verdant Eidolon and another card, untapping Elite Arcanist and the mana-producing permanent.
4. Activate Elite Arcanist by paying 1 and tapping it, casting a copy of Dream Salvage without paying its mana cost.
5. Verdant Eidolon triggers, returning itself to your hand from your graveyard.
6. Resolve Dream Salvage, causing you to draw at least one card.
7. Repeat from step 2.

This fascinating loop turns Elite Arcanist into a self-sustaining engine by utilizing a clever synergy with Mind Over Matter. Once an opponent has discarded a card, Elite Arcanist can cast a copy of Dream Salvage without paying its mana cost, replacing the cards you pitch to Mind Over Matter's activation cost. To fuel this ongoing sequence, Verdant Eidolon serves as a recursive discard target that continuously returns to your hand whenever you cast Dream Salvage, which counts as a multicolored spell.
