How it works

  1. Activate Thermopod's second ability by sacrificing Su-Chi, adding R mana.
  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 ingenious loop turns a classic sacrifice engine into an infinite life and mana machine by leveraging the unique type-changing magic of Chainer, Dementia Master. When you sacrifice Su-Chi to Thermopod, Su-Chi's own death trigger generates four colorless mana while Thermopod adds red, fueling the steep life and mana costs required to resurrect it. Thanks to Chainer, the returned Su-Chi re-enters the battlefield as a Nightmare, keeping it neatly within Chainer's grip for the next iteration. Meanwhile, Chromatic Orrery ensures all that colorless mana flows freely as any color you need, and Angelic Chorus converts every single resurrection into a massive cushion of life to comfortably pay Chainer's persistent life-tax.
