3. Resolve the Jirina trigger, creating a 1/1 Human Soldier creature token for each time you've cast Jirina from the command zone this game.
4. When the Human Soldiers enter the battlefield, Mana Echoes triggers that many times.

This delightful engine relies on a self-sustaining loop of sacrifice and resurrection to repeatedly churn through Jirina Kudro's command zone tax, generating an overwhelming surplus of resources along the way. Every time Jirina enters the battlefield, she brings a growing army of Human Soldiers whose presence supercharges Mana Echoes, instantly flooding your pool with colorless mana whenever they or subsequent tokens arrive. Meanwhile, Pitiless Plunderer watches the carnage, turning every sacrifice into a steady stream of Treasure tokens to fix your colors while Shilgengar, Sire of Famine provides the necessary outlet to grind your creatures down into Blood tokens. Ultimately, Shilgengar's mass-reanimation ability allows you to pull your entire team right back out of the graveyard to repeat the cycle infinitely.
