How it works

  1. Activate Emiel the Blessed by paying 3, blinking Toothy.
  2. When Toothy leaves and enters the battlefield, its second ability triggers, causing you to draw at least three cards.
  3. Toothy's first ability and The Locust God trigger for each card drawn.
  4. Resolve all Toothy triggers, putting that many +1/+1 counters on it.
  5. Resolve all Locust God triggers, creating that many 1/1 Insect creature tokens with flying and haste.
  6. Activate Phyrexian Altar three times by sacrificing three Insects, adding 3.
  7. Repeat.

This engine is all about turning Toothy, Imaginary Friend into a self-contained card-drawing powerhouse, amplified exponentially by The Locust God whenever you draw. By leveraging Emiel the Blessed's blink ability, you send Toothy away and bring it right back, triggering its departure clause to draw a massive pile of cards based on the counters it had accumulated. Every single card drawn in turn triggers The Locust God to flood your board with flying Insect tokens, which you can immediately feed into Phyrexian Altar to generate the exact mana needed to keep Emiel blinking Toothy over and over again.
