Long Feng, Grand Secretariat + Ashnod's Altar + Thopter Squadron

Long Feng, Grand Secretariat

Ashnod's Altar

Thopter Squadron

How it works

1. Activate Thopter Squadron by paying 1 and removing a +1/+1 counter from it, creating a creature token.
2. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing the creature token, adding CC.
3. When the creature token dies, Lord Feng triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Thopter Squadron.
4. Repeat.

This loop is a masterclass in recycling resources, transforming the natural lifecycle of your constructs into endless energy. By using Ashnod's Altar to sacrifice the token generated through Thopter Squadron's ability, you net a surplus of colorless mana while sending the token to the graveyard. That death triggers Long Feng, Grand Secretariat, whose static-adjacent watchfulness immediately rewards the casualty by placing a fresh +1/+1 counter right back onto Thopter Squadron, keeping the engine fueled and ready to spin again.
