How it works

  1. Activate Fain's third ability by tapping it and sacrificing another artifact, creating a 2/1 Inkling creature token.
  2. Activate Umbral Collar Zealot by sacrificing the Inkling.
  3. When the Inkling dies, Fain and Pitiless Plunderer trigger.
  4. Resolve the Fain trigger, untapping it.
  5. Resolve the Pitiless Plunderer trigger, creating a Treasure token.
  6. Resolve the Umbral Collar Zealot ability
  7. Repeat.

This loop relies on Fain, the Broker generating fodder that Umbral Collar Zealot gladly consumes, turning any cheap artifact into a continuous stream of sacrifices. As those sacrifices pile up, Pitiless Plunderer quietly funds the operation by minting a Treasure token every time a creature bites the dust. Meanwhile, Thornbite Staff keeps Fain, the Broker perpetually ready for action through its triggered untaps, ensuring your engine never runs out of steam.
