The 3 combo pieces
What must be in place
There and Back Again has exactly two lore counters on it.
You control a Smaug token, or you control five additional artifacts.
How to execute it
- At the beginning of your precombat main phase, There and Back Again triggers, putting a lore counter on it, triggering its third chapter ability.
- Holding priority, activate Hex Parasite by paying {1}{B/P}, removing a lore counter from There and Back Again, and giving Hex Parasite +1/+0 until end of turn.
- Resolve the There and Back Again ability, creating a legendary 6/6 Smaug creature token.
- If you control two Smaugs, put one into your graveyard due to the legend rule.
- If a Smaug dies this way, it triggers, creating fourteen Treasure tokens.
- Activate Time Sieve by tapping it and sacrificing five other artifacts, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
- Repeat each turn.
