Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Before you start
Any Cleric creature card with mana value 3 or less in your graveyard.
Steps
Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Orah, adding {C}{C}. When Orah dies, it and Nim Deathmantle trigger. Resolve Orah's trigger, returning any Cleric card with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield. With Nim Deathmantle's trigger still on the stack, activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing the returned Cleric, adding {C}{C}. Resolve the Nim Deathmantle trigger, paying {4} to return Orah from your graveyard to the battlefield and attach Nim Deathmantle to them. Repeat.
Orah, Skyclave Hierophant + Whisper, Blood Liturgist + Thornbite Staff
- Infinite recursion of creature cards in your graveyard
Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Before you start
Whisper does not have summoning sickness. Thornbite Staff attached to Whisper. You control two additional Cleric creatures with different mana values. An additional Cleric creature card in the graveyard with a higher mana value than the other two.
Steps
Activate Whisper using its own ability by tapping it and sacrificing your two additional Cleric creatures. Whisper's ability from Thornbite Staff triggers twice and Orah triggers twice, but one of Orah's triggers has no valid target. Resolve one Whisper trigger, untapping Whisper. Resolve Orah's trigger, returning the sacrificed Cleric with the lowest mana value from your graveyard to the battlefield. Resolve Whisper's ability, returning the Cleric with the highest mana value from your graveyard to the battlefield. Activate Whisper using its own ability by tapping it and sacrificing your two additional Cleric creatures. Whisper's ability from Thornbite Staff triggers twice and Orah triggers twice. Resolve one Whisper trigger, untapping Whisper. Resolve both Orah triggers, returning two Cleric creatures from your graveyard to the battlefield. Resolve Whisper's ability, returning any creature from your graveyard to the battlefield. Repeat any number of times. Once you have no non-Cleric creature cards in your graveyard, you may choose the same Cleric with both Orah triggers in step 7 to avoid running out of valid Whisper targets, or you may sacrifice a non-Cleric creature to Whisper. Resolve all Whisper triggers from the Thornbite Staff ability, untapping Whisper any number of times.
Orah, Skyclave Hierophant + Infinite Reflection
- Infinite death triggers
- Infinite creature ETB
- Infinite creature LTB
- Return some creature cards from your graveyard to the battlefield
Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Before you start
Infinite Reflection attached to Orah. You have a Cleric creature card in hand with mana value 3 or less. You have enough mana to cast the Cleric card in hand.
Steps
Cast any Cleric with mana value three or less from your hand by paying its mana cost. The Cleric enters the battlefield as a copy of Orah due to Infinite Reflection. Put the Cleric into your graveyard due to the legend rule. The Cleric dies, triggering itself and Orah. Resolve the Orah trigger, returning the Cleric from your graveyard to the battlefield. Repeat from step 2 an arbitrarily large amount of times. Once you have a large amount of triggers on the stack, you may instead choose to put Orah into your graveyard due to the legend rule, and return all Clerics with mana value three or less from your graveyard onto the battlefield.
