Words of Wind replaces Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain's draw trigger with a global bounce; Sol Ring and any artifact made free by Artist's Talent at level 2 create a two-cast loop that generates 2 colorless, pays 1 into Words of Wind twice, and nets zero mana while each cast bounces a permanent to every player's hand. The pilot controls what comes back to their own hand — Sol Ring loops back, the free artifact loops back — while opponents watch their permanents disappear one by one. The combo lives in Jhoira artifact-storm shells that already want Thoughtcast, Mox Amber, and zero-cost rocks to chain draws.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

Artist's Talent is at least level 2. You have an artifact card in hand that can be cast for {0} due to Artist's Talent. 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. 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 works as the second loop piece once Artist's Talent hits level 2 — Ornithopter and Memnite are the cleanest replacements if the hand is dry of naturals. Adding a historic creature to the loop, as the prerequisites note, produces infinite ETB and LTB triggers for closers like Purphoros, God of the Forge or Impact Tremors; without one, mass land denial and clearing the table are the win condition, which is slower against decks with fast hands.
