Foundry Inspector reduces artifacts to zero mana, turning each free cast into a Jhoira trigger that Words of Wind converts into a mandatory bounce effect for all players. The loop runs on two colorless from Sol Ring: pay one to replace Words of Wind's draw, cast for free, trigger, bounce Sol Ring back to hand, recast, repeat — every iteration sends one opponent permanent to hand. The table sees a soft lock materializing in real time with no window to respond once the loop starts.

How it works

Prerequisites

You have an artifact card in hand that can be cast for due to Foundry Inspector. 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.

Steps

Activate Sol Ring by tapping it, adding .
Activate Words of Wind by paying .
Cast an artifact by paying .
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.
Activate Words of Wind by paying .
Cast Sol Ring by paying .
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.
Repeat.

Result

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

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Etherium Sculptor fills the Foundry Inspector slot if the Inspector is removed, though Sculptor is a creature and trades more easily. The combo ends the game on board through land denial rather than a damage closer, but pairing it with Aetherflux Reservoir before the loop starts converts the infinite storm count into a direct kill — otherwise opponents eventually recast their permanents and stabilize.
