Sunstrike Legionnaire + Paradise Mantle + Jade Mage + Biomancer's Familiar

Sunstrike Legionnaire

Paradise Mantle

Jade Mage

Biomancer's Familiar

How it works

1. Tap Sunstrike Legionnaire to add .
2. Pay to create a 1/1 Saproling token.
3. Sunstrike Legionnaire triggers, untapping.
4. Repeat.

This elegant loop transforms Sunstrike Legionnaire into a self-refueling mana source by outfitting it with Paradise Mantle, allowing the soldier to tap for the green mana needed to power Jade Mage's token creation ability. Every time a new Saproling token enters the battlefield, Sunstrike Legionnaire's static trigger sees the creature and automatically untaps itself, ready to tap for mana again and repeat the cycle. Meanwhile, Biomancer's Familiar sits comfortably on the board, ensuring that Jade Mage's token-making ability costs only {1}{G} instead of {2}{G}—a crucial cost reduction that makes the entire engine positive on mana.
