Life from the Loam + Surly Badgersaur + Mind Over Matter + Secluded Steppe

Life from the Loam

Surly Badgersaur

Mind Over Matter

Secluded Steppe

How it works

1. Activate Secluded Steppe's cycling ability by paying and discarding it.
2. Surly Badgersaur's second ability triggers, creating a Treasure artifact token.
3. Resolve the Secluded Steppe ability, causing you to mill three cards and return Life from the Loam from your graveyard to your hand.
4. Activate Mind over Matter by discarding a land card.
5. Surly Badgersaur's second ability triggers, creating a Treasure artifact token.
6. Resolve the Mind over Matter ability, untapping target artifact, creature or land.
7. Repeat from step 4 one additional time.
8. Activate the three Treasure tokens by tapping and sacrificing them, adding 1.
9. Cast Life from the Loam by paying 1, returning Secluded Steppe and two other lands from your graveyard to your hand.
10. Repeat.

This intricate engine centers on cycling Secluded Steppe to fuel Life from the Loam's dredge mechanic, creating a continuous loop of self-mill and resource retrieval. Surly Badgersaur acts as the ultimate payoff, steadily churning out Treasure tokens whenever you discard cards to feed the loop. Meanwhile, Mind Over Matter provides the crucial untap utility needed to keep your permanents flowing freely and sustain the mana requirements to cast Life from the Loam over and over again.
