Lyla, Holographic Assistant

Phyrexian Altar

Forsaken Miner

Sage of the Falls

How it works

1. Cast Forsaken Miner by paying .
2. When Forsaken Miner enters, Sage of the Falls triggers.
3. Holding priority, activate Phyrexian Altar by sacrificing Forsaken Miner, adding .
4. Resolve the Sage of the Falls trigger, causing you to loot.
5. Lyla triggers, targeting a creature an opponent controls.
6. Forsaken Miner triggers, causing you to pay to return Forsaken Miner from your graveyard to the battlefield.
7. Repeat from step 2.
8. Resolve all Lyla triggers.

This cunning loop turns the humble Forsaken Miner into an endless engine of sacrifice and resurrection. By feeding the Miner to Phyrexian Altar, you generate the black mana needed to pay its crime-triggered return cost, while Sage of the Falls fuels your library with every entrance by letting you draw and discard on command. Meanwhile, Lyla, Holographic Assistant watches the ensuing card draw to blanket your opponent's creatures in +1/+1 counters, conveniently providing the legally required crime targets to keep the Miner crawling endlessly back from the dead.
