How it works
- Activate Zuran Orb by sacrificing any land, causing you to gain 2 life.
- Repeat step 1 until you have at least six land cards in your graveyard, with one of those cards being a Swamp.
- Activate Aftermath Analyst by paying 3 and sacrificing it, returning all land cards from your graveyard to the battlefield untapped due to The Wandering Minstrel.
- Activate any number of lands by tapping them, adding at least 3.
- Activate Strands of Night by paying and 2 life and sacrificing a Swamp, returning Aftermath Analyst from your graveyard to the battlefield.
- When Aftermath Analyst enters, it triggers, causing you to mill three cards.
- Repeat.
This recursive engine hinges on using Zuran Orb to feed your lands into the graveyard while cushioning your life total against the costs. Once your bin is sufficiently stocked, sacrificing Aftermath Analyst triggers its return via Strands of Night, fueled by the black mana and life you've generated. As the Analyst re-enters the battlefield, it mills you further and sets up the next loop, while The Wandering Minstrel completely bypasses the usual drawback of post-mass-recursion by ensuring all your returned lands enter the battlefield untapped and ready to tap for mana again.
