How it works

  1. Activate Lithatog's first ability by sacrificing Sword of the Meek.
  2. Skittering Precursor triggers, creating a 0/1 Eldrazi Spawn creature token.
  3. When the Eldrazi Spawn enters the battlefield as a 1/1 due to Ruination Guide, Sword of the Meek triggers, returning Sword of the Meek from your graveyard to the battlefield attached to the Eldrazi Spawn.
  4. Resolve the Lithatog ability, giving it +1/+1 until end of turn.
  5. Repeat.

This elegant loop turns the humble Lithatog into an engine of endless power by feeding it the ever-returning Sword of the Meek. Each time you sacrifice the Sword to Lithatog, Skittering Precursor steps in to provide a fresh Eldrazi Spawn token. Crucially, the presence of Ruination Guide gives your colorless creatures a passive +1/+0 boost, pumping that newly born 0/1 Spawn into a 1/1 creature the exact moment it enters the battlefield. That vital size shift satisfies Sword of the Meek's trigger condition, allowing the artifact to leap right back out of your graveyard and attach itself to the token so you can feed it to Lithatog all over again.
