How it works

  1. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing another creature, adding CC.
  2. Dragon Appeasement triggers, causing you to draw a card.
  3. Nadir Kraken triggers, causing you to pay 1 to put a +1/+1 counter on it and create a 1/1 Tentacle creature token.
  4. Repeat.

This engine gets its momentum from Ashnod's Altar, which provides the initial sacrifice outlet to generate colorless mana while feeding fuel to Dragon Appeasement. By sacrificing a creature to the Altar, Dragon Appeasement replaces your skipped draw step by allowing you to draw a card, which in turn triggers Nadir Kraken's ability. Paying the required {1} mana from the Altar's pool lets the Kraken grow with a +1/+1 counter and spawn a Tentacle token, which is then ready to be sacrificed right back to Ashnod's Altar to keep the loop going.
