Stone Calendar reduces the historic permanent's cost to 0, letting Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain draw a card each cast; Words of Wind redirects that draw trigger to force each player to return a permanent to hand, with Sol Ring coming back to fuel the next iteration. The loop targets opponents' lands and rocks on every cycle, which means the table is functionally locked out of permanents while the pilot assembles a storm count or sets up a win condition.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

You have a historic permanent card in hand that can be cast for {0} due to Stone Calendar. 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 a historic permanent 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 historic permanent 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 0-mana historic permanent works as the loop piece once Stone Calendar is online — Mox Amber is the tightest fit since it produces colored mana and is legendary. Aetherflux Reservoir is the natural closer here; infinite storm count at 50 life spent kills the table. Using a historic creature in the loop slot converts every bounce into infinite ETB and LTB triggers, enabling payoffs like Impact Tremors or Altar of the Brood.
