Survey Mechan + Mortuary + Ashnod's Altar + Insidious Roots + Bard, King of Dale

Survey Mechan

Mortuary

Ashnod's Altar

Insidious Roots

Bard, King of Dale

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. Insidious Roots 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 hinges on sacrificing Survey Mechan to fuel its own massive discount and the mana-generating engine of Ashnod's Altar, while Mortuary ensures the automaton never truly stays in the graveyard. As Survey Mechan departs, Insidious Roots notices the card leaving your graveyard and spawns Plant tokens—an output neatly doubled by Bard, King of Dale. Those extra tokens tap for mana via Insidious Roots' built-in ability and can be sacrificed to Ashnod's Altar to recast the Mechan over and over. Meanwhile, Bard, King of Dale transforms the three cards drawn by Survey Mechan into a torrential six-card draw, rapidly pumping your growing garden of Plants with +1/+1 counters and closing out the game with endless damage.
