How it works

  1. Activate Altar of Dementia by sacrificing another creature.
  2. When the creature dies, Blade of the Bloodchief triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Scurry Oak.
  3. Scurry Oak triggers, creating a 1/1 Squirrel creature token.
  4. Resolve the Altar of Dementia ability, causing target player to mill cards equal to the sacrificed creature's power.
  5. Repeat.

This clever synergy turns the humble act of sacrifice into an endless cycle of growth and swarming destruction, fueled entirely by artifacts and woodland creatures. By outfitting Scurry Oak with Blade of the Bloodchief, every death immediately pumps up your creature with fresh +1/+1 counters. Those very counters then trigger Scurry Oak's innate ability to churn out a fresh 1/1 green Squirrel token, providing you with the exact fodder you need to feed back into Altar of Dementia. Once you feed that newly minted token to Altar of Dementia, its death triggers the blade all over again, letting you mill your opponent out of the game while your equipped protector grows infinitely large.
