Drafna, Founder of Lat-Nam + Thornbite Staff + Su-Chi Cave Guard + Krark-Clan Ironworks

Drafna, Founder of Lat-Nam

Thornbite Staff

Su-Chi Cave Guard

Krark-Clan Ironworks

How it works

1. Cast Su-Chi Cave Guard by paying 8.
2. Holding priority, activate Drafna's second ability by paying 3 and tapping it, copying the Su-Chi Cave Guard spell.
3. Resolve the copy of the Su-Chi Cave Guard spell.
4. Activate Krark-Clan Ironworks by sacrificing the Su-Chi Cave Guard token, adding CC.
5. When the token Su-Chi Cave Guard dies, it and Drafna trigger.
6. Resolve the Su-Chi Cave Guard trigger, adding eight C.
7. Resolve the Drafna trigger, untapping it.
8. Repeat from step 2.

This ingenious loop turns Drafna, Founder of Lat-Nam's artifact-copying ability into an engine of pure recycling, using Krark-Clan Ironworks to sacrifice the resulting Su-Chi Cave Guard tokens for raw colorless mana. Every time a Su-Chi Cave Guard token goes to the graveyard, its death trigger generously refunds eight mana to keep the process accelerating. Meanwhile, Thornbite Staff can quietly rest on the battlefield, ready to make use of all those creature deaths if you ever need to pivot into targeted damage.
