Ruxa, Patient Professor + Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod's Altar + Memnite

Ruxa, Patient Professor

Nim Deathmantle

Ashnod's Altar

Memnite

How it works

1. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Memnite, adding CC.
2. When Memnite dies, Nim Deathmantle triggers, choose not to pay for the trigger.
3. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Ruxa, adding CC.
4. When Ruxa dies, Nim Deathmantle triggers, causing you to pay 4 to return Ruxa from your graveyard to the battlefield, and attach Nim Deathmantle to it.
5. When Ruxa enters the battlefield, its first ability triggers, returning Memnite to your hand from your graveyard.
6. Cast Memnite by paying 0.
7. Repeat.

This clever loop harnesses Ruxa, Patient Professor as a recursive engine, using its entry ability to pluck Memnite—cast for free with its zero mana cost—back from the graveyard each time it returns. Ashnod's Altar provides the sacrifice outlet to convert both creatures into the mana needed to fuel Nim Deathmantle's resurrection trigger for Ruxa, Patient Professor. While the step-by-step trace focuses entirely on the mana and death sequence, the static and passive abilities of Ruxa, Patient Professor also ensure that any vanilla attackers you control benefit from a power boost and unblocked-style damage assignment, making this infinite sacrifice loop as threatening on the battlefield as it is mechanically seamless.
