How it works

  1. Activate Phyrexian Altar by sacrificing Su-Chi, adding one mana of any color.
  2. When Su-Chi dies, it triggers, adding CCCC.
  3. Activate Chainer by paying 3 and 3 life, returning Su-Chi to the battlefield from your graveyard.
  4. When Su-Chi enters the battlefield, Angelic Chorus triggers, causing you to gain life equal to Su-Chi's toughness.
  5. Repeat.

This mesmerizing loop turns Su-Chi into a self-sustaining engine by weaving together life management and mana conversion. You sacrifice Su-Chi to Phyrexian Altar to generate mana and trigger its death ability, which conveniently provides more than enough colorless mana to cover Chainer, Dementia Master's activation cost of three black mana and 3 life. While Chainer transforms Su-Chi into a black Nightmare—a detail that ensures it benefits from Chainer's passive +1/+1 buff—Angelic Chorus steps in to completely offset the life payments by restoring life equal to Su-Chi's toughness every time it returns. Meanwhile, Chromatic Orrery sits in play ready to smooth out any color requirements, ensuring this intricate dance of resurrection and sacrifice flows endlessly into infinite resources.
