Words of Wind converts every historic cast Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain triggers into a forced bounce; Sol Ring and a free or one-mana artifact alternate as the bounce target on your side while opponents lose their board piece by piece. Birgi, God of Storytelling is the mana glue — each cast refunds red, letting the loop pay Words of Wind's one-mana activation indefinitely without draining resources. The result is mass land denial and infinite storm count before a single opponent can rebuild.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

You have an artifact card in hand that can be cast for at most {R}. You can use a historic 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. Birgi triggers, adding {R}.
  5. 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.
  6. Activate Words of Wind by paying {1}.
  7. Cast Sol Ring by paying {1}.
  8. Birgi triggers, adding {R}.
  9. 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.
  10. 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 artifact castable for one or zero mana fills the fourth slot alongside Sol Ring — Mana Crypt, Tormod's Crypt, or Mishra's Bauble all work. If the storm count alone isn't the kill, Aetherflux Reservoir or Grapeshot closes the game; without one of those in play, the loop wins through stripping every permanent from every opponent rather than dealing direct damage.
