This ingenious loop turns a regular combat step into an endless sequence of extra turns by chaining token generation directly into artifact fuel. Encroaching Mycosynth does the heavy lifting behind the scenes, turning all your nonland permanents—including the Plant tokens generated by Avenger of Zendikar—into artifacts so they satisfy Time Sieve's sacrifice requirement. Meanwhile, Helm of the Host provides the engine by churning out a fresh, non-legendary copy of Avenger of Zendikar every single combat phase, which instantly floods your board with enough new tokens to pay Time Sieve's cost and lock down the game with infinite turns.
