Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Before you start
You have another nonland card in hand with the mana to cast it and applicable targets if needed.
Steps
Cast any spell by paying its mana cost. Holding priority, cast Bilbo's Gambit by paying its mana cost, targeting the spell cast in step 1. Bilbo's Gambit's storm ability and Storm-Kiln Artist trigger. Resolve the Storm-Kiln Artist trigger, creating a Treasure token. Resolve the Bilbo's Gambit trigger, copying it for each spell cast before it this turn. Choose to have each copy target the original Bilbo's Gambit. Storm-Kiln Artist triggers for each copy generated, creating that many Treasure tokens. Resolve the first Bilbo's Gambit copy, returning the original Bilbo's Gambit to your hand. All other copies of Bilbo's Gambit fizzle due to having no legal target. Activate two Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding {1}{W}. Repeat from step 2.
