Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle + Sol Ring + Scrap Trawler + Megatog

4-card combo · RW

Verdict

Yes — this 4-card loop turns a single Sol Ring cast into infinite sacrifices, infinite mana, and an arbitrarily large Megatog in red-white.

Casting Sol Ring off one generic mana triggers Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle to return Scrap Trawler from the graveyard; from there, sacrificing Sol Ring to Megatog triggers Scrap Trawler to fetch back a zero-mana artifact, and sacrificing Scrap Trawler returns Sol Ring, restarting the whole chain. The loop lives in artifact-heavy Boros shells — Depala, Pilot Exemplar, Akiri, Line-Slinger, or Osgir, the Reconstructor — anywhere Teshar's historic trigger fires regularly and the bin fills naturally.

Result

Infinite LTB; Infinite ETB; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite death triggers; Infinite colorless mana; Infinitely large creature until end of turn

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Myr Retriever or Junk Diver can substitute for Scrap Trawler as the recursion engine if Trawler is exiled or tucked, though Scrap Trawler's wider fetch range is strictly better. Megatog is the hardest piece to replace since it demands a sacrifice outlet that permanently pumps itself; if the goal is just infinite mana and death triggers rather than a combat kill, swap toward Krark-Clan Ironworks and redirect to Walking Ballista or Aetherflux Reservoir as the closer.
