Tower Winder + Kheru Goldkeeper + Six + Command Tower + Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

5-card combo · GWUB

Verdict

Yes — this 5-card loop generates infinite ETB, death, and discard triggers by bouncing Tower Winder through the graveyard on a self-funding Treasure engine.

The loop costs nothing net: casting Tower Winder for {1}{G} via its graveyard ability while discarding Command Tower fires Kheru Goldkeeper twice — once on the discard, once on the ETB — producing two Treasures that refund exactly {1}{G} to restart. Shilgengar, Sire of Famine sacrifices Tower Winder to keep the cycle turning, and Command Tower returns itself from the graveyard via Tower Winder's enter trigger. Any commander shell running white, green, blue, and black that already wants aristocrats payoffs — Teysa Karlov doubling death triggers, or Judith, the Scourge Diva draining on each death — plugs in cleanly.

03

Result

Infinite LTB; Infinite ETB; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite death triggers; Infinite storm count; Infinite self-discard triggers; Infinite Blood tokens

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Six is the missing glue piece that enables the graveyard cast; without it Tower Winder's escape clause doesn't activate, so don't cut it under any circumstances. The loop produces infinite Blood tokens from Shilgengar but no direct win condition — pair it with Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim for drain, Purphoros, God of the Forge for damage, or any aristocrats outlet already in the 99 to close the game.
