Insidious Roots + Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization + Jade Mage + Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu

Insidious Roots

Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization

Jade Mage

Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu

How it works

1. Activate Jade Mage by paying 2, creating three 1/1 Saproling creature tokens.
2. Activate the Saprolings by tapping them, adding 2.
3. Repeat.

This looping engine relies on Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation to massively multiply the Saprolings churned out by Jade Mage, turning a standard token-maker into a torrential flood. While Jade Mage normally demands a heavy mana investment, Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu steps in to grant its tokens haste via its mana ability, allowing the newly created tokens to immediately tap for mana using the inherent ability granted by Insidious Roots. Because Insidious Roots also bestows its mana-generation ability passively to your entire board, every iteration of the loop feeds itself while steadily growing your army with +1/+1 counters.
