Does Hullbreaker Horror combo with Sol Ring alone?
Asked by Quickspell 1 year ago
I am confused. I've seen a lot of combo descriptions on Hullbreaker Horror + Sol Ring + some 0 mana card like Everflowing Chalice.
Do you even need a third card? Doesn't this work:
-
Have Hullbreaker Horror (HH) on the bf.
-
Cast Sol Ring (SR). HH trigger goes on to the stack, chosing to take SR back to hand.
-
Before HH trigger resolves, tap SR to float two colorless mana. HH trigger resolves and SR returns to hand.
-
Use one of the two colorless mana to cast SR > repeat to float infinite colorless mana.
The same should work with Mana Crypt, Mana Vault or Grim Monolith.
Everflowing Chalice is just a way to store that mana, isn't that correct?
You need something to target or it will return itself so you need both artifacts

No, it does not work like how you mentioned. A third card with a cmc of 1 or less like Everflowing Chalice is needed for the combo to work.
The reason why you need a third card is because when you cast Sol Ring, it is not on the battlefield when the trigger for Hullbreaker Horror goes on the stack. Hullbreaker Horror's ability triggers on cast, so when you cast Sol Ring, the trigger will go on top and resolve before Sol Ring enters the battlefield. Sol Ring will not be a legal target for the trigger in this case.
The third card is needed to alternate so when you cast Sol Ring, you bounce the third card to your hand. When you cast the third card, you bounce Sol Ring to your hand.
