How it works

  1. Activate Orthion's second ability by paying 6R manaR manaR mana and tapping it, creating five token copies of Su-Chi with haste.
  2. Activate Phyrexian Altar three times by sacrificing three Su-Chi tokens, adding R manaR manaR mana.
  3. When the Su-Chi tokens die, they trigger, adding twelve C.
  4. Activate Sword of the Paruns by paying 3, untapping Orthion.
  5. Repeat.
  6. Once you have infinite mana, you may instead target any other creature you control.

This explosive loop turns Orthion, Hero of Lavabrink into a veritable copying factory by leveraging its massive mana-generation potential. You start by firing off Orthion's heavy-mana activation to flood the board with five token copies of Su-Chi, setting the stage for a cascade of sacrifices. By feeding three of those tokens into Phyrexian Altar, you not only generate the exact red mana needed to keep the cycle going, but you also trigger each dying Su-Chi to pump out a massive influx of colorless mana. Meanwhile, Sword of the Paruns provides the crucial mechanical grease, letting you pay a modest fee to untap Orthion so you can immediately repeat the entire process and overwhelm the board with endless tokens and mana.
