The Master, Transcendent + Thornbite Staff + Altar of Dementia + Golgari Thug

The Master, Transcendent

Thornbite Staff

Altar of Dementia

Golgari Thug

How it works

1. Activate Altar of Dementia by sacrificing Golgari Thug.
2. When Golgari Thug dies, its first ability and The Master trigger.
3. Resolve the Golgari Thug trigger, putting it from your graveyard on top of your library.
4. Resolve the Master trigger, untapping it.
5. Resolve the Altar of Dementia ability, causing you to mill Golgari Thug from your library.
6. Activate The Master by tapping it, putting Golgari Thug from your graveyard onto the battlefield.
7. Repeat.

This brilliant loop turns Golgari Thug and The Master, Transcendent into a self-sustaining engine of death and rebirth, supercharged by the relentless sacrifice outlet of Altar of Dementia. By repeatedly milling the Thug back into your library with the Altar and immediately dredging or returning it via The Master's ability, you create an endless cycle of creature returns. Thornbite Staff rests quietly in the background, though the core loop relies on The Master's tap ability paired with the mill and sacrifice triggers to achieve infinite sacrifices, enter-the-battlefield triggers, and total library mill.
