Animate Artifact this son of a gun, then Life And Limb, so it is a land. Then, enchant it with Wild Growth or Fertile Ground, and infinite away! Trust me, this is the easiest way to do an infinite mana combo with this!

A classic example of a card that Wizards overlooked, and as a result, there are some pretty scary combos! If you have anything that prevents mana burn (the only one I can think ok at the moment is the Sakura Tribe Shaman , I'm such a n00b) then this thing can bring some pain! Just get this down ASAP ( Dark Ritual anybody?) And then the shames, then, making sure that you're playing an artifact deck, lay as many artifacts as you can! It doesn't win you the game, but there are some combos with it that can!

@Long_Con
First off, Reverse damage will never net you infinite life, as every trigger from Artifact Possession is treated as a different source. That's probably what the Judge was talking about, with the ''combo not working''.
Secondly, there's no ruling written that states you cannot use its mana to untap itself. the only combo that doesn't work is SuperLlama12's because he didn't include something to change its creature type to Saproling.
Wake Thrasher's most definitely the most original Idea I've seen to go with it, it was a little obscure since the Fae generally dominated Standard in that time.

@Syngod:
That's actually really clever. I actually passed over that comment too, thinking this didn't work with rings of brighthearth. You've certainly proved that wrong though! Nice work.

Power Artifact and Wake Thrasher are a great combo with this card. Especially in EDH; use the infinite mana to drop Deepchannel Mentor and swing with a massive Wake Thrasher :-) Granted, there are a bazillion things to use infinite mana for...get creative!

"None of these infinite combos work with Basalt Monolith. You can't use Basalt Monolith mana to untap Basalt Monolith." Well, once upon a time...
I had a deck many years ago that took advantage of this with Artifact Possession and Reverse Damage for infinite life. When I pulled it off in the tournament, one of the adjudicators made me aware of that published errata for Basalt Monolith.
@SnafinTurtle: That ruling on Reverse Damage only happened in 2004; my tournament was around when 4th Edition was released, and that combo was still legal. ;) Trust me, I remember it quite clearly, the judge explaining that there was errata published in Wizard magazine that Basalt Monolith mana can't be used to untap itself. Guess that was discarded over time. *shrug* Bastard judge.

@Snafinturtle, you're 6 or 7 years too late. That errata on Basalt Monolith GONE, along with errata on many other cards.
Get with the times. :D
