Survey Mechan + Mortuary + Ashnod's Altar + Chatterfang, Squirrel General + Skeleton Crew

Survey Mechan

Mortuary

Ashnod's Altar

Chatterfang, Squirrel General

Skeleton Crew

How it works

1. Activate Survey Mechan by sacrificing it.
2. When Survey Mechan dies, Mortuary triggers, putting Survey Mechan from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
3. Skeleton Crew triggers, creating two creature tokens.
4. Resolve the Survey Mechan ability, dealing 3 damage to any target and causing you to draw three cards and gain 3 life.
5. Activate Ashnod's Altar twice by sacrificing the two creature tokens, adding CCCC.
6. Cast Survey Mechan by paying 4.
7. Repeat.

This intricate loop turns Survey Mechan into a self-sustaining engine by utilizing Mortuary to constantly recycle it straight back to the top of your library for re-casting, all while reducing its steep activation cost with your assorted lands. As Survey Mechan bites the dust to trigger its own sacrifice ability, Skeleton Crew watches creature cards leave your graveyard and instantly spawns tokens—a generation boosted further by Chatterfang, Squirrel General's replacement effect to multiply your token yield. Finally, Ashnod's Altar eagerly consumes those freshly minted tokens for the raw mana needed to cast Survey Mechan all over again, fueling an unending cycle of card draw, damage, and life.
