How it works

  1. Cast Lion's Eye Diamond from your graveyard by paying 0 and discarding a land card.
  2. Slogurk's first ability triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
  3. Activate Lion's Eye Diamond by sacrificing it and discarding your hand, adding G manaG manaG mana or U manaU manaU mana.
  4. Slogurk's first ability triggers twice, putting two +1/+1 counters on it.
  5. Activate Slogurk's second ability by removing three +1/+1 counters from it, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
  6. Slogurk's third ability triggers, returning three land cards from your graveyard to your hand.
  7. Cast Slogurk by paying 1G manaU mana.
  8. Repeat.

This ingenious loop relies on Six to grant nonland permanent cards in your graveyard retrace, turning every land card you hold into fuel to recast Lion's Eye Diamond from the graveyard for zero mana. As Lion's Eye Diamond enters and is sacrificed for mana, its required hand-discard and subsequent retrace discards feed the graveyard while Slogurk, the Overslime steadily accumulates +1/+1 counters from those very land cards hitting the bin. Once Slogurk has three counters, you can bounce it back to your hand, triggering its leaves-the-battlefield ability to reclaim the exact land cards you need to keep discarding. This creates a perpetual cycle of recasting and bouncing that generates infinite storm count, triggers endless enters-and-leaves-the-battlefield events, and fills your hand with boundless resources.
