Trudge Garden + Pitiless Plunderer + Thermopod + Bogwater Lumaret

Trudge Garden

Pitiless Plunderer

Thermopod

Bogwater Lumaret

How it works

1. Gain any amount of life.
2. Trudge Garden triggers, causing you to pay 2 to create a 4/4 Fungus Beast creature token.
3. When the Fungus Beast enters, Bogwater Lumaret triggers.
4. Holding priority, activate Thermopod by sacrificing the Fungus Beast, adding .
5. When the Fungus Beast dies, Pitiless Plunderer triggers, creating a Treasure token.
6. Holding priority, activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding 1.
7. Resolve the Bogwater Lumaret trigger, causing you to gain life.
8. Repeat from step 2.

This looping engine starts the moment you gain any initial life to kick off Trudge Garden, allowing you to pay into a steady stream of 4/4 Fungus Beast tokens. As each beast enters, Bogwater Lumaret provides a crucial cushion of lifegain to keep the garden fed, while Pitiless Plunderer quietly watches the graveyard to manufacture a Treasure token every time a creature perishes. Meanwhile, Thermopod acts as the sacrificial altar at the heart of the operation, converting your temporary beasts into the red mana needed alongside the Treasure's payload to continually pay Trudge Garden's fee.
