Thor, God of Thunder chains cheap noncreature spells into damage via his mana-value trigger, supported by Guttersnipe, Caldera Pyremaw, and Firebending Student—each firing on every cast. The core loop runs Storm-Kiln Artist or Goldspan Dragon through T-45 Power Armor to generate net mana, then converts that resource into lethal via Thor's damage engine or Infantry Shield's token army.
Spell-chain payoff: Thor deals damage equal to each noncreature spell's mana value; Guttersnipe drains 2 to each opponent per instant or sorcery; Caldera Pyremaw and Firebending Student grow and ping on every cast. Mana engine: Storm-Kiln Artist or Goldspan Dragon tap for mana (Artist via Magecraft treasures, Dragon via attack triggers and spell targets). T-45 Power Armor untaps the equipped creature at the start of your upkeep for {E}, letting you loop mana once you hit four per activation. The kill: Once the loop generates surplus mana, cast cheap spells (Burst Lightning, Boltwave, Incinerate) to trigger Thor and the payoff creatures for lethal damage, or use Infantry Shield's mobilize to create a token army that swings for the win. Consistency layer: Electrodominance, Bolt Bend, and Blasphemous Act all cost less when you control a 4+ power creature or have many creatures on board, accelerating the spell chain. Mica, Reader of Ruins copies your spells (sacrificing artifacts) to double payoff triggers. Mind Stone and Firebending Student ramp early; Sol Ring and Arcane Signet deploy fast mana. Maximus tutors Equipment (Infantry Shield or T-45 Power Armor) on entry.
