Color Identity: U, B

Initial Card State

  1.  All permanents on the battlefield (Emet-Selch as Hades, Sorcerer of Eld).

Easy Prerequisites

  1. Your life total is 16 or higher.

Steps

  1. Activate Mirror of Fate by tapping it and exiling it due to Hades, choosing Mirror of Fate and up to six other cards from exile, then exiling your library and putting the chosen cards on top of your library, ensuring to place Mirror of Fate on top of your library.
  2. Cast Mirror of Fate from the top of your library by paying 5 life due to Bolas's Citadel.
  3. Aetherflux Reservoir triggers, causing you to gain 1 life for each spell you've cast this turn.
  4. Repeat.

Notes

  1. You can cast the other spells you exile with Mirror of Fate each loop if your life total allows. You can also start with less life if you've cast spells during the turn prior to starting the combo. Another option is to place small mana value spells on top of Mirror of Fate and cast them to increase your storm count so Aetherflux Reservoir will give you more life faster.

  2. Infinite artifact ETB.
  3. Infinite artifact LTB.
