How it works

  1. Cast the artifact by paying 0.
  2. Toph, Hardheaded Teacher triggers, earthbending Orzhov Basilica.
  3. Resolve the artifact spell.
  4. Activate Woe Strider by sacrificing Orzhov Basilica.
  5. When Orzhov Basilica dies, Toph, Hardheaded Teach triggers, returning Orzhov Basilica from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
  6. When Orzhov Basilica 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 loop transforms the synergy of your battlefield into an engine of endless sacrifices and landfall triggers. Toph, the First Metalbender turns your nontoken artifacts into lands, laying the groundwork for Orzhov Basilica to bounce them back to your hand when it enters the battlefield. Meanwhile, Woe Strider provides a reliable outlet to sacrifice those animated land-artifacts, and Toph, Hardheaded Teacher capitalizes on the constant casting and dying by earthbending the Basilica right back onto the battlefield whenever it perishes.
