The Locust God + Mindless Automaton + Ashnod's Altar + Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11

The Locust God

Mindless Automaton

Ashnod's Altar

Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11

How it works

1. Activate Mindless Automaton's first ability by paying 1 and discarding a card, putting two +1/+1 counters on it.
2. Activate Mindless Automaton's second ability by removing two +1/+1 counters from it, causing you to draw a card.
3. The Locust God triggers, creating a 1/1 Insect creature token with flying and haste.
4. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing an Insect, adding CC.
5. Repeat.

This clever engine transforms simple resource recycling into a swarming victory by putting Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11 and The Locust God at the center of your operations. Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11 supercharges your counters, ensuring Mindless Automaton gains an extra +1/+1 counter whenever its ability resolves, which completely offsets the two counters you remove to draw a card. Every single card draw from that Automaton then fires off The Locust God to flood your board with flying Insect tokens. Finally, Ashnod's Altar converts those newly minted tokens into the colorless mana required to keep the Mindless Automaton turning over its cards indefinitely.
