How it works

  1. Cast the artifact by paying 0.
  2. Toph, Hardheaded Teacher triggers, earthbending Azorius Chancery.
  3. Resolve the artifact spell.
  4. Activate Woe Strider by sacrificing Azorius Chancery.
  5. When Azorius Chancery dies, Toph, Hardheaded Teach triggers, returning Azorius Chancery from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
  6. When Azorius Chancery enters, it triggers, returning the artifact cast in step 1 from the battlefield to your hand, as it's a land due to Toph, the First Metalbender.
  7. Resolve the Woe Strider ability
  8. Repeat.

This clever loop uses Toph, the First Metalbender to turn your zero-mana artifacts into lands, effectively weaponizing your board state into a recursive engine. Once established, you cast the artifact to trigger Toph, Hardheaded Teacher, which animates Azorius Chancery into a land creature via earthbending so it can be fed directly to Woe Strider. When Azorius Chancery dies and safely returns thanks to its earthbent safety net, its own entry trigger forces it to bounce the freshly cast artifact back to your hand—which Toph, the First Metalbender has conveniently made a land, ready to start the cycle all over again.
