Shilgengar, Sire of Famine is the sacrifice outlet; each activation kills Aether Channeler and produces a Blood token, while Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle returns Aether Channeler to the battlefield because a historic spell was just cast. Aether Channeler's ETB bounces Sol Ring back to hand, which gets recast for 1 to retrigger Teshar, with the secondary artifact shuttling in and out to keep the loop airtight.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

Artifact that can be Cast Using {C}

02

Steps

  1. Activate Shilgengar by sacrificing Aether Channeler
  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 Shilgengar by sacrificing Aether Channeler
  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.

03

Result

Infinite LTB; Infinite ETB; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite death triggers; Infinite storm count; Infinite Blood tokens

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any artifact with mana value 1 or less that can be cast for one generic mana fills the secondary artifact slot alongside Sol Ring — Mox Amber or Tormod's Crypt both work. The infinite Blood tokens are the engine, not the kill; pair with Marionette Master or a sacrifice payoff like Syr Konrad, the Grim to close the game.
