Uyo, Silent Prophet copies Dark Ritual by bouncing two lands, Patron of the Moon replays those same two lands tapped, and the net mana cost of the loop zeroes out — leaving only the triggers. The combo lives in blue-black control or spellslinger builds that already want Uyo as a copy effect and Patron of the Moon as a land-bounce engine; neither card is dead outside the loop.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

You control at least two lands.

02

Steps

  1. Cast Dark Ritual by paying {B}.
  2. Holding priority, activate Uyo by paying {2} and returning two lands to your hand from the battlefield, copying Dark Ritual.
  3. Resolve the copy of Dark Ritual, adding {B}{B}{B}.
  4. Activate Patron of the Moon by paying {1}, putting two lands onto the battlefield tapped from your hand.
  5. Repeat from step 2.

03

Result

Infinite magecraft triggers; Infinite landfall triggers

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The loop requires exactly Dark Ritual as the spell being copied — any other instant or sorcery that produces three black mana from one would substitute, but nothing in color identity does so cleanly. Landfall payoffs like Ruin Crab or Hedron Crab close the game on the spot; magecraft payoffs like Archmage Emeritus chain into the library for any other win condition already in the deck.
