Infinite mana combo with two creatures with Persist and blade of the bloodchief. Attach the blade to one. Sacrifice, add two colorless mana. It comes back with a -1/-1 counter. Change the equipment for one, sacrifice the other, it comes back with a -1/-1 counter. You can also do fun things like use Woodfall Primus or Murderous Redcap to destroy their land, or just kill them!
@Ragamander: According to the official rulings, +1/+1 counters remove -1/-1 counters, and vice versa, at a rate of one for one. Therefore, the combo mentioned by Xelopheris works.

Can this be used with an Eldrazi deck to maximise mana? If I sacrifice a spawn token do I get 1 mana from the token and 2 from this artifact?

Nice combo, especially since it also lets you cycle through your deck for a win method.

Huh, you're right.

@Psyonus: Of course not. You either sacrifice using one ability or the other. How could you possibly do both ?
I run three of these and four spike rogues in my red/green undying deck for three infinite loops. This, a spike rogue, and any undying creature makes the spike rogue an infinite power infinite toughness creature. With a flayer of the hatebound and a spike rogue it's infinite damage to any number of players. With this, a spike rogue, any undying creature, and a gutter grime you can create an infinite number of infinite power and toughness creatures. It's pretty ridiculous when I pull any of them off.

Got Blaze?
Good.
I can see this having the most use in a Jund deck with Sprouting Thrinaxes, Disintegrates, Dragon Appeasements, and Ivy Elemental, for good measure.
