Hit the Mother Lode costs 4RRR but immediately creates seven Treasures; Amulet of Vigor untaps all seven on entry, producing exactly enough mana to cast it again. Mortuary puts Eternal Witness back on top of the library each time it's sacrificed to Goblin Bombardment, and Eternal Witness's ETB returns Hit the Mother Lode to hand, closing the loop. The combo sits in Jund, meaning Crop Rotation, Worldly Tutor, and Entomb all fetch pieces — assembly is the real task given five cards are required.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

02

Steps

  1. Activate Goblin Bombardment by sacrificing Eternal Witness.
  2. When Eternal Witness dies, Mortuary triggers, putting Eternal Witness on top of your library from your graveyard.
  3. Resolve the Goblin Bombardment ability, dealing 1 damage to any target.
  4. Cast Hit the Mother Lode by paying {4}{R}{R}{R}, exiling Eternal Witness from the top of your library and casting it without paying its mana cost, and creating seven tapped Treasure artifact tokens.
  5. When Eternal Witness and the Treasures enter the battlefield, Amulet of Vigor triggers seven times and Eternal Witness triggers once.
  6. Resolve all Amulet of Vigor triggers, untapping the Treasures.
  7. Resolve the Eternal Witness trigger, returning Hit the Mother Lode from your graveyard to your hand.
  8. Activate seven Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding {4}{R}{R}{R}.
  9. Repeat.

Result

Infinite damage; Infinite death triggers; Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite magecraft triggers; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite storm count

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Goblin Bombardment is the only damage outlet baked into the loop; Altar of Dementia or Blasting Station can replace it if the goal is mill or a different kill condition, though the sacrifice trigger on Bombardment is what makes the loop clean. Eternal Witness can swap for Timeless Witness if the setup is slow — the extra three life is irrelevant, but the 4-mana cast makes early-game assembly slightly harder.
