How it works

  1. Draw a card.
  2. Nadir Kraken triggers, causing you to pay 1 to put a +1/+1 counter on it and create a 1/1 Tentacle creature token.
  3. When the Tentacle enters the battlefield, Answered Prayers triggers, causing you to gain 1 life.
  4. Oloro's second ability triggers.
  5. Holding prioirty, activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing the Tentacle, adding CC.
  6. Resolve the Oloro trigger, causing you to pay 1 to draw a card and cause each opponent to lose 1 life.
  7. Repeat.

This clever loop turns the simple act of drawing a card into a self-sustaining engine of life drain and token creation. With Nadir Kraken ready to spawn Tentacles whenever you draw, each token feeds Ashnod's Altar for the mana needed to keep the cycle going. Meanwhile, Answered Prayers converts those creature entries into steady lifegain, which in turn fuels Oloro, Ageless Ascetic to keep your hand full and drain the table dry.
