This clever loop relies on Conspiracy to rewrite the rules of the game by declaring its chosen type to be Spirit, which immediately turns Promised Kannushi—as well as the versatile Stonework Packbeast—into Spirits everywhere, even in the graveyard. Once your loop is primed, Ashnod's Altar provides the colorless fuel to sacrifice Promised Kannushi, generating the exact amount of mana needed to replay it, while its newly acquired Spirit subtype ensures its Soulshift 7 trigger effortlessly returns it straight from the graveyard back to your hand.
