How it works

  1. Activate the planeswalker with Elspeth's Talent attached by putting two loyalty counters on it, creating three 1/1 Soldier creature tokens.
  2. Activate Ashnod's Altar twice by sacrificing two Soldiers, adding CCCC.
  3. Activate The Chain Veil by paying 4 and tapping it, allowing an extra activation of your planeswalkers' loyalty abilities this turn.
  4. Activate Ral Zarek's first loyalty ability by putting a loyalty counter on it, untapping The Chain Veil.
  5. Repeat.

This brilliant loop centers on an enchanted planeswalker serving as a tireless engine, where Elspeth's Talent transforms its loyalty ability into a factory for three 1/1 Soldier creature tokens. You can immediately feed these tokens into Ashnod's Altar, sacrificing two of them to effortlessly generate the four generic mana required to untap and fuel The Chain Veil. With The Chain Veil granting that crucial extra activation, Ral Zarek steps in to untap the Veil with its +1 ability while building toward an eventual ultimate. Together, this synchronized assembly creates infinite mana, tokens, and planeswalker activations to overwhelm the board.
