Tale of Katara and Toph + Animation Module + Jaheira, Friend of the Forest + Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu

Tale of Katara and Toph

Animation Module

Jaheira, Friend of the Forest

Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu

How it works

1. Activate a creature by tapping it, adding .
2. The creature's ability granted to it by Tale of Katara and Toph triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on the creature.
3. Animation Module triggers, causing you to pay 1 to create a 1/1 Servo artifact creature token.
4. Repeat.

This clever loop turns the passive gifts of Tale of Katara and Toph and Jaheira, Friend of the Forest into a self-sustaining engine. Jaheira allows your newly minted tokens to tap for green mana, while Animation Module provides the triggers and token creation whenever counters land on your permanents. Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu neatly sidesteps summoning sickness so everything can join the fray right away, and his second ability can even help filter mana to keep the Animation Module's fee paid.
