Agrus Kos copies activated abilities and triggered abilities targeting him for 1 and a red or white mana; Soulbright Flamekin's activations bank eight red each cycle, and Felidar Guardian's blink trigger resets both Soulbright Flamekin and Mnemonic Wall. Mnemonic Wall rebounds Deflecting Swat from the graveyard each loop, and Deflecting Swat redirects leftover Felidar Guardian triggers back to Agrus Kos for free, closing the circuit. The combo is dense and sequencing-dependent — one missed priority hold or a stifle on Mnemonic Wall's ETB collapses the whole chain.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

You control your commander. You have not activated Soulbright Flamekin's ability more than twice this turn.

02

Steps

  1. Activate Soulbright Flamekin by paying {2}, targeting Agrus Kos.
  2. Agrus Kos triggers, causing you to pay {1}{R/W} to copy Soulbright Flamekin's ability targeting each other creature you control.
  3. Resolve all Soulbright Flamekin triggers, giving the targeted creatures trample until end of turn and adding eight {R}.
  4. Cast Felidar Guardian by paying {3}{W}.
  5. When Felidar Guardian enters the battlefield, it triggers, targeting Agrus Kos.
  6. Agrus Kos triggers, causing you to pay {1}{R/W} to copy Felidar Guardian's trigger, targeting each other creature you control except Felidar Guardian.
  7. Resolve the copies of Felidar Guardian's trigger targeting Soulbright Flamekin and Mnemonic Wall, blinking Soulbright Flamekin and Mnemonic Wall.
  8. When Mnemonic Wall enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Deflecting Swat from your graveyard to your hand.
  9. Holding priority, activate Soulbright Flamekin by paying {2}, targeting Agrus Kos.
  10. Agrus Kos triggers, causing you to pay {1}{R/W} to copy Soulbright Flamekin's ability targeting each other creature you control.
  11. Resolve all Soulbright Flamekin triggers, giving the targeted creatures trample until end of turn and adding eight {R}.
  12. Cast Deflecting Swat by paying {0}, changing any of the remaining Felidar Guardian triggers not targeting Agrus Kos to target Agrus Kos instead.
  13. Repeat from step 6.

03

Result

Infinite LTB; Infinite ETB; Infinite storm count; Infinite red mana; Infinite magecraft triggers; Infinite blinking

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Archaeomancer substitutes for Mnemonic Wall as the spell-recurrence piece with an identical ETB, though it costs one less mana and has a smaller body. The loop generates infinite red mana but needs a sink to close — Purphoros, God of the Forge converts infinite ETBs into lethal damage without adding a cast step, and Aetherflux Reservoir closes on storm count alone.
