Starnheim Courser reduces the second artifact to zero mana, letting the loop pay 1 into Words of Wind on each Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain draw trigger, then recast Sol Ring and the bounce target for free. Every iteration forces each opponent to return a permanent, so the table's board state dissolves piece by piece until nothing remains. This belongs in Jhoira artifact storm shells that already run Words of Wind as a hate piece — the bounce engine is a natural fit.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

You have an artifact card in hand that can be cast for {0} due to Starnheim Courser. You can use an artifact creature to get infinite ETB and LTB triggers. If you do not use a creature, this combo will not produce those results.

02

Steps

  1. Activate Sol Ring by tapping it, adding {C}{C}.
  2. Activate Words of Wind by paying {1}.
  3. Cast an artifact by paying {0}.
  4. Jhoira triggers, causing each player to return a permanent they control from the battlefield to their hand due to Words of Wind, with you returning Sol Ring to your hand.
  5. Activate Words of Wind by paying {1}.
  6. Cast Sol Ring by paying {0}.
  7. Jhoira triggers, causing each player to return a permanent they control from the battlefield to their hand due to Words of Wind, with you returning the artifact cast in step 3 to your hand.
  8. Repeat.

03

Result

Infinite storm count; Return all permanents opponents control to their owner's hand; Infinite LTB; Infinite ETB; Mass Land Denial

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any 0-mana artifact beyond Sol Ring, such as Mana Crypt or Ornithopter, can substitute into the loop if the cost reduction is active. For the kill, infinite storm count points to Grapeshot or Aetherflux Reservoir — neither is included here, so the deck needs a dedicated closer alongside the engine.
