Orthion, Hero of Lavabrink + Sword of the Paruns + Su-Chi Cave Guard + Phyrexian Altar

Orthion, Hero of Lavabrink

Sword of the Paruns

Su-Chi Cave Guard

Phyrexian Altar

How it works

1. Activate Orthion's first ability by paying 1 and tapping it, creating a token copy of Su-Chi Cave Guard with haste.
2. Activate Phyrexian Altar by sacrificing the Su-Chi Cave Guard token, adding .
3. When the Su-Chi Cave Guard token dies, it triggers, adding eight C.
4. Activate Sword of the Paruns by paying 3, untapping Orthion.
5. Repeat.
6. Optionally, if you have an additional available, you may use Orthion's second ability once you have a large amount of C to get infinite , which can then be used to activate Orthion infinitely targeting any other creature(s).

This marvelous engine harnesses the explosive death trigger of Su-Chi Cave Guard to fuel a self-sustaining loop of creation and sacrifice. By utilizing Phyrexian Altar to bin the temporary token copy generated by Orthion, Hero of Lavabrink, you instantly net a massive influx of colorless mana from the dying construct alongside the red mana you need to keep going. Sword of the Paruns serves as the perfect mechanical lubricant here, letting you spend a portion of that floating mana to untap Orthion and repeat the entire cycle. Once your mana pools overflow with boundless energy, you can even pivot into Orthion's massive seven-mana ability to flood the board with an army of hasteing copies.
