How it works

  1. Activate Kwain by tapping it, causing you to draw a card and gain 1 life, and allowing each opponent to draw a card and gain 1 life.
  2. Heliod triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Crystalline Crawler.
  3. Activate Crystalline Crawler's first ability by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, adding U mana.
  4. Activate Pemmin's Aura's first ability by paying U mana, untapping Kwain.
  5. Repeat.

This delightful loop turns everyone's favorite bunny bureaucrat into a mana-generating machine by linking life gain directly back into untap resources. When you tap Kwain, Itinerant Meddler to draw a card and gain 1 life, Heliod, Sun-Crowned spots the life gain and places a +1/+1 counter right onto Crystalline Crawler. You can immediately strip that fresh counter away with Crystalline Crawler's ability to produce the blue mana required to pay for Pemmin's Aura, which then untaps Kwain, Itinerant Meddler for another go. Rinse and repeat to draw through the deck and stack up near-infinite life and life gain triggers, all while letting your opponents draw along for the ride!
