Forsaken Miner + Pitiless Plunderer + Scavenger's Talent + Ashnod's Altar

Forsaken Miner

Pitiless Plunderer

Scavenger's Talent

Ashnod's Altar

How it works

1. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Forsaken Miner, adding CC.
2. When Forsaken Miner dies, Scavenger's Talent's second ability triggers, targeting an opponent, and Pitiless Plunderer triggers.
3. When you commit that crime, Forsaken Miner triggers, causing you to pay to return it from your graveyard to the battlefield.
4. Resolve the Scavenger's Talent trigger, causing an opponent to mill two cards.
5. Resolve the Pitiless Plunderer trigger, creating a Treasure token.
6. Activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding .
7. Repeat.

This elegant loop centers on Ashnod's Altar as the sacrifice engine, converting Forsaken Miner into two colorless mana while triggering its death. That demise is expertly leveraged by Pitiless Plunderer to generate a Treasure token and by Scavenger's Talent to create a Food token on the initial iteration, all while the Miner's targeting restriction safely qualifies as committing a crime. We then crack the Treasure for the black mana required to pay the Miner's revival cost, leaving us with a self-sustaining engine that yields endless sacrifices, triggers, and a milled opponent.
