Mite Overseer + Ashnod's Altar + Answered Prayers + Stridehangar Automaton

Mite Overseer

Ashnod's Altar

Answered Prayers

Stridehangar Automaton

How it works

1. Activate Mite Overseer by paying 3W/P, creating two creature tokens.
2. When the creature tokens enter the battlefield, Answered Prayers triggers twice, causing you to gain 2 life.
3. Activate Ashnod's Altar twice by sacrificing the creature tokens, adding CCCC.
4. Repeat.

This clever engine uses Mite Overseer as an activation outlet, fueled by the mana generated when Ashnod's Altar sacrifices the tokens you produce. Thanks to Stridehangar Automaton's replacement effect, every activation yields an extra Thopter alongside your Mites, turning the mana cost into a net positive. Meanwhile, Answered Prayers watches the chaos unfold, converting every single creature entry into a steady stream of life.
