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 clever loop transforms a humble Saproling into a self-sacrificing mana engine by leveraging Puresteel Paladin's metalcraft ability to reduce Lotus Ring's equip cost down to zero. Once the ring is strapped to the token created by Nemata, Grove Guardian, that very same token taps and sacrifices itself to the ring's ability, generating a net surplus of mana that fuels Nemata's token-making once Samut, Voice of Dissent's presence (and haste) is accounted for. While Samut, Voice of Dissent also brings flash and double strike to the table, her main contribution here is making sure everything runs smoothly while you repeat the cycle for infinite leaves-the-battlefield, enters-the-battlefield, and death triggers.
