Extus, Oriq Overlord // Awaken the Blood Avatar

Mana Geyser

Umbral Collar Zealot

Ardent Elementalist

How it works

1. Cast Mana Geyser by paying 3.
2. Extus triggers, returning Pinnacle Monk from your graveyard to your hand.
3. Resolve Mana Geyser, adding for each tapped land your opponents control.
4. Cast Pinnacle Monk by paying its mana cost.
5. When Pinnacle Monk enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Mana Geyser from your graveyard to your hand.
6. Activate Umbral Collar Zealot by sacrificing Pinnacle Monk.
7. Repeat.

This brilliant loop turns a massive influx of red mana into an endlessly repeating cycle of sorcery recursion and creature sacrifice. You kick things off by casting Mana Geyser to generate a flood of red mana, triggering Extus, Oriq Overlord's magecraft ability to pull a key piece from your graveyard. As you cast and recast your recursion engine, Ardent Elementalist steps in upon entering the battlefield to fish Mana Geyser right back out of your graveyard, ensuring your fuel never runs dry. Meanwhile, Umbral Collar Zealot provides the vital sacrifice outlet needed to loop your creatures back into the graveyard while smoothing your draws through surveil.
