Splash Portal costs 1U to cast, which is exactly what the Treasure from Storm-Kiln Artist produces each loop; Eternal Witness returns Splash Portal from the graveyard on every blink, making the cycle self-sustaining with all three pieces on board. The engine sits in Temur, so commanders like Riku of Two Reflections or Kalamax, the Stormsire slot it naturally alongside other instant-heavy or magecraft payoffs.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

02

Steps

  1. Cast Splash Portal by paying {U}, targeting Eternal Witness
  2. Storm-Kiln Artist triggers, creating a Treasure artifact token.
  3. Resolve Splash Portal, blinking Eternal Witness
  4. When Eternal Witness enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Splash Portal to your hand from your graveyard.
  5. Activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding {U}.
  6. Repeat.

03

Result

Infinite LTB; Infinite ETB; Infinite storm count; Infinite magecraft triggers

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The loop produces infinite storm count and magecraft triggers but no damage on its own — Aetherflux Reservoir or Sentinel of Lost Lore closes immediately once the loop is live. If Storm-Kiln Artist is removed, the Treasure generation stops and the loop collapses; protecting it with Swiftfoot Boots or running a backup magecraft creature like Archmage Emeritus keeps the engine alive.
