4-card combo · WUB

Verdict

Yes — this 4-card loop generates infinite counters, death triggers, and storm count in any Teshar shell that already runs Sol Ring.

Bartolomé del Presidio eats Aether Channeler to place a +1/+1 counter; Sol Ring pays into a second artifact cast, which fires Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle to return Aether Channeler, which bounces Sol Ring back to hand on entry. The loop alternates between bouncing Sol Ring and bouncing the auxiliary artifact each iteration, keeping both pieces cycling indefinitely. Teshar commanders with a sacrifice outlet already on the battlefield assemble this in the mid-game, and the white-blue-black identity fits Aminatou, the Fateshifter or Zur, Eternal Schemer builds that tutor enchantments to protect the pieces.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

Artifact that can be Cast Using {C}

02

Steps

  1. Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Aether Channeler, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
  2. Activate Sol Ring by tapping it, adding {C}{C}.
  3. Cast the other artifact with MV<=1 by paying at most {1}.
  4. Teshar triggers, returning Aether Channeler from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  5. When Aether Channeler enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Sol Ring from the battlefield to your hand.
  6. Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Aether Channeler, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
  7. Cast Sol Ring by paying {1}.
  8. Teshar triggers, returning Aether Channeler from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  9. When Aether Channeler enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning the other artifact from the battlefield to your hand.
  10. Repeat.

Result

Infinite +1/+1 counters on a creature; Infinite death triggers; Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite storm count

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any artifact with mana value 1 or less that produces at least 1 colorless slots in as the auxiliary piece — Mana Crypt or Jeweled Lotus compresses the setup cost, while a 0-drop like Ornithopter keeps the loop alive if Sol Ring is removed. For the kill, Zulaport Cutthroat or Blood Artist converts the infinite death triggers into a table win; without one, the counters on Bartolomé del Presidio only matter if a pump finisher is already in play.
