Zirda, the Dawnwaker reduces activated abilities by 2, which is what makes the whole chain affordable — Sunforger's equip drops to 1, and Reito Sentinel's library-shuffle costs 2 instead of 4, letting Treasure tokens from Big Score fund the reset. Jeska's Will dumps the red mana needed to keep reattaching and recasting, while Big Score refuels the hand and creates the next loop's gas. The table sees a Sunforger shell doing Sunforger things right up until the turn it goes infinite.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

An opponent has six or more cards in hand.

02

Steps

  1. Activate Sunforger by paying {R}{W} and unattaching it, searching your library for Jeska's Will and casting it without paying its mana cost, adding at least six {R}.
  2. Activate Sunforger's equip ability by paying {1}, attaching it to Zirda.
  3. Activate Sunforger by paying {R}{W} and unattaching it, searching your library for Big Score and casting it without paying its mana cost and discarding a card.
  4. Resolve Big Score, causing you to draw two cards and create two Treasures.
  5. Activate Sunforger's equip ability by paying {1}, attaching it to Zirda.
  6. Activate Reito Sentinel twice by paying {2}, putting Big Score and Jeska's Will from your graveyard onto the bottom of your library.
  7. Activate two Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding {W}{W}.
  8. Repeat.

Result

Infinite draw triggers; Near-infinite storm count; Near-infinite self-discard triggers; Near-infinite magecraft triggers; Near-infinite card draw; Near-infinite red mana

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The prerequisite is the real constraint: an opponent needs six or more cards in hand, so either run Wheel of Fortune effects to bloat hand sizes or accept that the loop is situational. If Reito Sentinel is removed, there is no functional replacement for the library-shuffle role — protect it. Aetherflux Reservoir or Monastery Mentor are the natural closers once storm count climbs; the loop generates the engine, the kill requires a separate piece already on board.
