Semblance Anvil reduces the artifact in hand to zero mana; Sol Ring's two colorless pays for Words of Wind's replacement effect twice per loop, which reroutes Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain's draw trigger into a forced bounce instead. Each cycle, opponents return a permanent of their choice, so the loop runs until their boards are empty — land denial included. Jhoira artifact-storm shells running Whir of Invention or Reshape can assemble all four pieces off a single tutor chain.

How it works

Prerequisites

There is an artifact card exiled with Semblance Anvil. You have an artifact card in hand that can be cast for due to Semblance Anvil. 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

Any zero-cost artifact in hand — Ornithopter, Memnite, Mishra's Bauble — fills the cycler slot once Semblance Anvil has an artifact imprinted; the loop does not require a specific card beyond Sol Ring as the mana engine. Swap the zero-cost artifact for an artifact creature such as Ornithopter and the loop also generates infinite ETB and LTB triggers, enabling Purphoros, God of the Forge or Impact Tremors as an immediate kill condition.
