How it works

  1. Cast Mana Geyser by paying 3R manaR mana.
  2. Extus triggers, returning Pinnacle Monk from your graveyard to your hand.
  3. Resolve Mana Geyser, adding R mana 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 clever loop relies on the powerful synergy between Pinnacle Monk and Extus, Oriq Overlord, where casting your spells triggers Extus's magecraft ability to recur the Monk from your graveyard. Once Pinnacle Monk hits the battlefield, its enter-the-battlefield ability loops Mana Geyser right back to your hand, fueled by the massive amounts of red mana generated from your opponents' tapped lands. To keep the engine running, Umbral Collar Zealot serves as the vital sacrifice outlet that sends the Monk straight back to the graveyard so the cycle can begin anew.
