Imotekh the Stormlord + Junk Diver + Myr Retriever + Ashnod's Altar

Imotekh the Stormlord

Junk Diver

Myr Retriever

Ashnod's Altar

How it works

1. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Myr Retriever, adding CC.
2. When Myr Retriever dies, it triggers, returning Junk Diver to your hand from your graveyard.
3. Imotekh the Stormlord's first ability triggers, creating two 2/2 Necron Warrior artifact creature tokens.
4. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing a Necron Warrior, adding CC.
5. Cast Junk Diver by paying 3.
6. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Junk Diver, adding CC.
7. When Junk Diver dies, it triggers, returning Myr Retriever to your hand from your graveyard.
8. Imotekh the Stormlord's first ability triggers, creating two 2/2 Necron Warrior artifact creature tokens.
9. Cast Myr Retriever by paying 2.
10. Repeat.

This elegant loop relies on the recursive synergy between Junk Diver and Myr Retriever, which endlessly pull each other out of the graveyard whenever one perishes. Ashnod's Altar acts as both the executioner and the engine, converting these mechanical sacrifices into the colorless mana needed to recast whichever retriever just returned to your hand. Meanwhile, Imotekh the Stormlord watches over the graveyard, turning every artifact's departure into a reinforcement wave of Necron Warrior tokens. You even have the option to target Grand Strategist with one of those token buffs during combat, though the true power here is the infinite mana, sacrifices, and token army generated entirely from the scrap heap.
