How it works

  1. Cast High Tide by paying U mana.
  2. Activate an Island by tapping it, adding U mana.
  3. High Tide triggers, adding U mana.
  4. Activate Meloku by paying 1 and returning the tapped Island from the battlefield to your hand, creating a 1/1 Illusion creature token.
  5. Activate High Market's second ability by tapping it and sacrificing the Illusion.
  6. When the Illusion dies, Sakashima of a Thousand Faces and Minn's second abilities trigger.
  7. Holding priority, activate Meloku by paying 1 and returning High Market from the battlefield to your hand, creating a 1/1 Illusion creature token.
  8. Resolve the Sakashima of a Thousand Faces and Minn triggers, putting an Island and High Market from your hand onto the battlefield.
  9. Repeat from step 2.

This brilliant engine spins up by leveraging High Tide to supercharge your Islands, generating a massive mana surplus every time you tap one. Meloku the Clouded Mirror converts that mana and your lands into 1/1 Illusion tokens, which High Market then eagerly sacrifices to trigger a cascade of deaths. Thanks to Minn, Wily Illusionist—whose abilities are doubled and insulated from the legend rule by Sakashima of a Thousand Faces—those dying Ilusions cheat powerful permanents directly from your hand onto the battlefield. You simply loop the process by bouncing and replaying High Market and your lands, turning your hand into a free deployment zone while riding an infinite wave of creature tokens and sacrifices.
