How it works

  1. Activate Nemata's first ability by paying 2G mana, creating a 1/1 Saproling creature token.
  2. Activate Lotus Ring's equip ability by paying 0 due to Puresteel Paladin, attaching it to the Saproling.
  3. Activate the Saproling by tapping and sacrificing it, adding G manaG manaG mana.
  4. Repeat.

This ingenious loop turns a modest Saproling into a self-sustaining mana engine, fueled entirely by the discount from Puresteel Paladin's metalcraft ability which makes Lotus Ring free to attach. Once the newly created token is suited up, you tap and sacrifice it to Lotus Ring's activated ability for a net gain of mana—since Nemata, Grove Guardian only asks for `{2}{G}` to replace the token—leaving you flush with infinite resources. Meanwhile, Hammer of Purphoros stands ready to grant haste to any other pieces you might need, ensuring this mechanical dance translates into an immediate, overwhelming advantage on the battlefield.
