Overwhelming Splendor + Ashnod's Altar + Baithook Angler // Hook-Haunt Drifter + Mycosynth Lattice

Overwhelming Splendor

Ashnod's Altar

Baithook Angler // Hook-Haunt Drifter

Mycosynth Lattice

How it works

1. Cast Baithook Angler from your graveyard for its disturb cost by paying 2, causing it to enter the battlefield transformed as Hook-Haunt Drifter.
2. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Hook-Haunt Drifter, adding 2.
3. Because Overwhelming Splendor causes Hook-Haunt Drifter to lose all abilities, it is not exiled when it is sacrificed, and is returned to your graveyard as Baithook Angler.
4. Repeat.

This ingenious loop hinges on a clever rules interaction governed by Overwhelming Splendor and Mycosynth Lattice, which together turn the backside of Baithook Angler // Hook-Haunt Drifter into a blank, colorless slate that neatly bypasses its normal replacement effect. By stripping away all abilities—including the exile clause that normally prevents the creature from returning to the graveyard—Overwhelming Splendor ensures that Hook-Haunt Drifter harmlessly reverts to its front face in the graveyard every time it meets Ashnod's Altar. From there, you simply replay the card for its disturb cost, funding the loop indefinitely and generating a cascade of infinite sacrifices, triggers, and storm count.
