Lotus Ring + Puresteel Paladin + Daxos the Returned + Mass Hysteria

Lotus Ring

Puresteel Paladin

Daxos the Returned

Mass Hysteria

How it works

1. Activate Daxos the Returned by paying 1, creating a */* Spirit creature token.
2. Activate Lotus Ring's equip ability by paying 0 due to Puresteel Paladin, attaching it to the Spirit.
3. Activate the Spirit by tapping and sacrificing it, adding or .
4. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms Daxos the Returned and his devotion to enchantments into a self-sustaining mana engine, fueled entirely by the passive power of Puresteel Paladin. With the Paladin's metalcraft ability active, Lotus Ring can bounce onto newly minted Spirits for free, completely bypassing its usual equip cost. Mass Hysteria ensures that the freshly spawned Spirit tokens gain haste immediately, though it’s the constant cycle of Daxos's ability creating tokens that sacrifice themselves to Lotus Ring for three mana which keeps the engine running in formats like Commander and Legacy.
