How it works

  1. Activate Barren Moor's cycling ability by paying B mana and discarding it.
  2. Surly Badgersaur's second ability triggers, creating a Treasure artifact token.
  3. Resolve the Barren Moor ability, causing you to mill three cards and return Life from the Loam from your graveyard to your hand.
  4. Activate Land's Edge by discarding a land card.
  5. Surly Badgersaur's second ability triggers, creating a Treasure artifact token.
  6. Resolve the Land's Edge ability, dealing 2 damage to an opponent.
  7. Repeat from step 4 one additional time.
  8. Activate the three Treasure tokens by tapping and sacrificing them, adding 1B manaG mana.
  9. Cast Life from the Loam by paying 1G mana, returning Barren Moor and two other lands from your graveyard to your hand.
  10. Repeat.

This loop transforms the simple act of cycling Barren Moor into a self-sustaining engine by letting Surly Badgersaur convert every discarded land into a mana-producing Treasure. While you cycle and discard to fuel Land's Edge for direct damage to your opponents, Life from the Loam constantly recycles those discarded lands right back to your hand. Dredging Life from the Loam back to your hand as you draw from Barren Moor keeps your library churning, fueling an endless cycle of damage, mana, and recursion.
