Jegantha, the Wellspring taps for all five colors, Phyrexian Altar converts it into one more on sacrifice, and Horde of Notions spends that five-color float to pull Jegantha straight back from the graveyard. Lightning Greaves on Jegantha is the load-bearing prerequisite — the zero-equip cost means each recursion loop reattaches for free and keeps Jegantha protected between activation and sacrifice.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

Lightning Greaves is attached to Jegantha.

02

Steps

  1. Activate Jegantha by tapping it, adding {W}{U}{B}{R}{G}.
  2. Activate Phyrexian Altar sacrificing Jegantha, adding one mana of any color.
  3. Activate Horde of Notions by paying {W}{U}{B}{R}{G}, casting Jegantha from your graveyard without paying its mana cost.
  4. Activate Lightning Greaves' equip ability by paying {0}, attaching it to Jegantha.
  5. Repeat.

03

Result

Infinite colored mana; Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite storm count; Infinite death triggers; Infinite recursion of Elemental cards in your graveyard

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Ashnod's Altar can replace Phyrexian Altar if colorless mana suffices for the win condition, though the five-color float from Jegantha already covers Horde's activation. The loop generates infinite storm count and infinite ETB triggers but needs a sink — Impact Tremors, Purphoros, God of the Forge, or Altar of the Brood closes it immediately once the engine is live.
