Cloud Key reduces the free artifact to zero, Sol Ring pays the one mana Words of Wind demands each cycle, and Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain's draw trigger turns every cast into an activation that bounces a permanent per player. Two Words of Wind activations per loop mean Sol Ring and the free artifact shuttle back to hand indefinitely, clearing the board of every non-land permanent opponents control and denying any board state.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

You have an artifact card in hand that can be cast for {0} due to Cloud Key. 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 zero-cost artifact that is also an artifact creature — Ornithopter, Memnite, or Phyrexian Walker — upgrades the loop to include infinite ETB and LTB triggers, which opens Altar of Dementia or Impact Tremors as in-loop kills. Without the creature clause, the combo wins through mass permanent denial and storm count, so a Grapeshot or Brain Freeze sitting in hand before the loop starts is the cleaner closer.
