How it works

  1. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing a creature token, adding CC.
  2. Mirkwood Bats triggers, causing each opponent to lose 1 life.
  3. Bloodthirsty Conqueror triggers for each opponent.
  4. Resolve the first trigger, causing you to gain 1 life.
  5. Trudge Garden triggers, causing you to pay 2 to create a 4/4 Fungus Beast creature token.
  6. Mirkwood Bats triggers, causing each opponent to lose 1 life.
  7. Bloodthirsty Conqueror triggers for each opponent.
  8. Holding priority, repeat from step 1.
  9. Resolve all remaining Bloodthirsty Conqueror triggers, causing you to gain that much life, choosing not to pay for the Trudge Garden triggers in between.

This loop is a masterclass in recycling life and resources, turning every step into a compounding advantage. Ashnod's Altar provides the colorless mana to fuel Trudge Garden's triggered ability, which births a 4/4 Fungus Beast token whenever you gain life. That token creation is immediately spotted by Mirkwood Bats, draining your opponents and kickstarting Bloodthirsty Conqueror's life-draining synergy. Because Bloodthirsty Conqueror converts that lost life right back into life gained for you, it seamlessly feeds back into Trudge Garden while letting Mirkwood Bats finish the job through sheer attrition.
