Shambling Ghast

Zul Ashur, Lich Lord

Thornbite Staff

Umbral Collar Zealot

How it works

1. Activate Zul Ashur by tapping it, targeting Shambling Ghast.
2. Cast Shambling Ghast from your graveyard by paying .
3. Activate Umbral Collar Zealot by sacrificing Shambling Ghast.
4. When Shambing Ghast dies, it and Zul Ashur trigger.
5. Resolve the Shambling Ghast trigger, creating a Treasure token.
6. Resolve the Zul Ashur trigger, untapping it.
7. Resolve the Umbral Collar Zealot ability.
8. Activate the Treasure token by tapping and sacrificing it, adding .
9. Repeat.

This ingenious loop transforms your graveyard into an engine of endless sacrifices by using Zul Ashur, Lich Lord to repeatedly pull Shambling Ghast back from the dead for a single black mana. Once Shambling Ghast is cast, Umbral Collar Zealot is right there to sacrifice it, which immediately triggers the Ghast's death ability to replace its own mana cost by creating a Treasure token. While Thornbite Staff isn't part of this specific sequence, its presence is a reminder of the broader shamanic armory that can weave similar loops together. Every iteration feeds your death and sacrifice triggers indefinitely while letting you churn through your library with the Zealot's surveil ability.
