Derevi, Empyrial Tactician + Emiel the Blessed + Cradle Clearcutter

Derevi, Empyrial Tactician

Emiel the Blessed

Cradle Clearcutter

How it works

1. Activate Cradle Clearcutter by tapping it, adding at least .
2. Activate Emiel by paying 3, blinking Derevi.
3. When Derevi enters the battlefield, it triggers, untapping Cradle Clearcutter.
4. Repeat.

This looping marvel turns a simple blink engine into an infinite mana machine by capitalizing on how easily Derevi, Empyrial Tactician bypasses the usual costs of recursion. You use the mana from Cradle Clearcutter to pay for Emiel the Blessed's ability, which exiles and returns Derevi to the battlefield. Because Derevi’s entry triggers a target untap, it instantly refreshes Cradle Clearcutter to fund the next iteration—yielding infinite green mana and endless creature triggers with every cycle.
