Marvin, Murderous Mimic + Pili-Pala + Cradle Clearcutter

Marvin, Murderous Mimic

Pili-Pala

Cradle Clearcutter

How it works

1. Activate Marvin using Cradle Clearcutter's ability by tapping it, adding at least .
2. Activate Marvin using Pili-Pala's ability by paying 2 and untapping it, adding one mana of any color.
3. Repeat.

This clever little loop turns Marvin, Murderous Mimic into a self-contained mana engine by borrowing the right abilities from the table. While Cradle Clearcutter provides the muscle—tapping to generate green mana based on its own power—Pili-Pala supplies the untap mechanism alongside a color-fixing engine through its own unique untap symbol ability. By using Marvin to combine both creatures' activated abilities onto a single body, you can tap for green mana and immediately pay that back to untap, cycling the process to continuously pump out infinite colored mana.
