How it works

  1. Activate the creature with Careful Cultivation and Umbral Mantle attached by tapping it, adding G manaG mana.
  2. Activate the creature by paying 1 and untapping it, causing it to get +2/+2 until end of turn.
  3. Repeat.

This elegant loop turns any creature into a powerhouse of green mana by capitalizing on a clever cost reduction. By enchanting your creature with Careful Cultivation and equipping it with Umbral Mantle, you supercharge its tap ability to produce two green mana. Zirda, the Dawnwaker steps in to reduce the Mantle's untap activation cost down to just a single generic mana, leaving you with a net gain of mana on every single iteration. You can repeat this process endlessly to pump your creature to astronomical proportions while generating infinite green mana.
