Wretched Throng + Ashnod's Altar + Pitiless Plunderer + Stone Calendar + Sundering Archaic

Wretched Throng

Ashnod's Altar

Pitiless Plunderer

Stone Calendar

Sundering Archaic

How it works

1. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Wretched Throng, adding CC.
2. When Wretched Throng dies, it and Pitiless Plunderer trigger.
3. Holding priority, activate Sundering Archaic by paying 2, putting Wretched Throng from your graveyard onto the bottom of your library.
4. Resolve the Pitiless Plunderer trigger, creating a Treasure token.
5. Resolve the Wretched Throng trigger, putting Wretched Throng from your library into your hand.
6. Activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding .
7. Cast Wretched Throng by paying due to Stone Calendar.
8. Repeat.

This ingenious loop relies on a clever mana-and-recycling engine to continuously cast and sacrifice the same creature. By using Ashnod's Altar to sacrifice Wretched Throng, you generate the raw colorless power needed to fuel Pitiless Plunderer's Treasure-yielding death triggers and Sundering Archaic's ability to constantly shuffle the Throng right back into your library. Meanwhile, Stone Calendar quietly discounts your spells so that casting the Wretched Throng becomes cheap enough to fund entirely off your newly minted Treasures.
