Jaheira, Friend of the Forest + Spawning Pit + Quina, Qu Gourmet + Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu
How it works
- Activate Spawning Pit's second ability by paying 1 and removing two charge counters from it, creating two creature tokens
- Activate the tokens by tapping them, adding .
- Activate Spawning Pit's first ability twice by sacrificing the tokens, putting two charge counters on Spawning Pit.
- Repeat.
This loop starts humming when you tap the token creatures you control for green mana, a capability granted directly by Jaheira, Friend of the Forest thanks to her static ability turning all your tokens into mana dorks. To make those tokens in the first place, you rely on Spawning Pit—whose activated ability spits out a pair of creature tokens by cashing in charge counters—bolstered passively by Quina, Qu Gourmet, whose replacement effect guarantees that whenever tokens are created, an extra 1/1 Frog creature token comes along for the ride. Meanwhile, Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu provides crucial support: his activated ability taps to generate special mana restricted to creature abilities, and his static ability ensures your creatures can use their tap abilities immediately without waiting for summoning sickness. By sacrificing the generated creatures back to Spawning Pit to replenish its charge counters, you fund the loop indefinitely while spinning off infinite green mana, creature sacrifices, and enter-the-battlefield triggers.
