How it works

  1. Cast Essence Flux by paying U mana, blinking Scrivener.
  2. When Scrivener enters the battlefield, it and Lonis trigger.
  3. Resolve the Scrivener trigger, returning Essence Flux from your graveyard to your hand.
  4. Resolve the Lonis trigger, creating a Food, a Clue, and a Treasure artifact token.
  5. Activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding U mana.
  6. Repeat.

This crafty loop relies on Essence Flux to continuously blink Scrivener, which enters the battlefield to return that very same Essence Flux right back to your hand. Meanwhile, Lonis, Cryptozoologist watches each creature enter to generate a Clue, an interaction brilliantly amplified by Academy Manufactor turning every single Clue creation into a massive windfall of Clues, Foods, and Treasures alike. By cashing in just one of those newly minted Treasures for the mana needed to recast Essence Flux, the engine sustains itself indefinitely while netting you an endless parade of artifact tokens and enters-the-battlefield triggers.
