Frantic Search + Kitsa, Otterball Elite + Minamo, School at Water's Edge + Temple of the False God

4-card combo · U

Verdict

Yes — this 4-piece loop generates infinite looting and near-infinite magecraft triggers in mono-blue, though the setup bar is steep enough to limit it to dedicated Kitsa shells.

Frantic Search's built-in untap clause refunds its own cost through Temple of the False God and a second land; Kitsa copies the spell on the stack via prowess trigger, and Minamo untaps Kitsa to copy again every iteration. The whole engine lives or dies on Kitsa staying alive — it's the only creature in the loop, and any removal in response to the copy activation collapses the chain immediately.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

You control at least five lands. Kitsa has power 2 or greater and does not have summoning sickness. You control a land that can tap to produce at least {U}.

02

Steps

  1. Activate Temple of the False God and another land by tapping them, adding at least {2}{U}.
  2. Cast Frantic Search by paying {2}{U}.
  3. Kitsa's prowess ability triggers, giving it +1/+1 until end of turn.
  4. Holding priority, activate Kitsa's second ability by paying {2} and tapping it, copying Frantic Search.
  5. Resolve the copy of Frantic Search, causing you to loot twice and untap Minamo, Temple of the False God and another land.
  6. Activate Temple of the False God and another land by tapping them, adding at least {2}{U}.
  7. Activate Minamo's second ability by paying {U} and tapping it, untapping Kitsa.
  8. Repeat from step 4.

03

Result

Infinite self-discard triggers; Infinite draw triggers; Infinite looting; Near-infinite magecraft triggers

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any land that taps for two or more colorless substitutes for Temple of the False God in the mana step — Ancient Tomb is the cleanest upgrade. The loop draws cards but doesn't kill on its own; Thassa's Oracle or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries closes it once the library is empty, and Aetherflux Reservoir converts the magecraft storm count into lethal damage.
