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, Auton Soldier 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 Auton Soldier and Minn triggers, putting an Island and High Market from your hand onto the battlefield.
  9. Repeat from step 2.

This clever loop leverages the explosive mana-doubling of High Tide to fund Meloku the Clouded Mirror, which continuously pumps out 1/1 Illusion creature tokens by bouncing your own lands. When you sacrifice one of those Illusions to High Market, both Auton Soldier and Minn, Wily Illusionist trigger to let you cheat the bounced lands—and High Market itself—straight back onto the battlefield from your hand. Minn, Wily Illusionist's ability to drop permanents for free upon an Illusion's death is the engine that breaks the loop, turning simple token sacrifices into a self-sustaining web of continuous mana, land drops, and endless tokens.
