Jaheira, Friend of the Forest turns each Eldrazi Spawn into a green mana producer by tapping it; Lightning Greaves equips for free, so each Spawn taps for green, then sacrifices for colorless, netting back the 4 mana spent on Spawnsire's ability and generating a clean loop. The combo lives in Eldrazi tribal and green stompy shells that already want Spawnsire of Ulamog as a top-end threat — Jaheira and Greaves slot in as support, not dedicated combo pieces.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

02

Steps

  1. Activate Spawnsire of Ulamog's first ability by paying {4}, creating two 0/1 Eldrazi Spawn creature tokens.
  2. Activate Lightning Greaves' equip ability by paying {0}, attaching it to an Eldrazi Spawn.
  3. Activate the Eldrazi Spawn with Lightning Greaves attached by tapping it, adding {G}.
  4. Activate the Eldrazi Spawn with Lightning Greaves attached by sacrificing it, adding {C}.
  5. Repeat from step 2 for the remaining Eldrazi Spawn.
  6. Repeat from step 1.

03

Result

Infinite death triggers; Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite sacrifice triggers

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Cryptolith Rite replaces Jaheira if the enchantment slot is easier to protect than a legendary creature, though it requires Spawns to tap before sacrificing all the same. The loop generates infinite triggers but no built-in win condition — pair it with Zulaport Cutthroat or Altar of Dementia to close; without a drain or mill outlet, the triggers don't end the game.
