How it works

1. Activate Sleep-Cursed Faerie by tapping it, adding .
2. Sleep-Cursed Faerie triggers, causing you to loot.
3. Activate Sleep-Cursed Faerie by paying , untapping it.
4. Repeat.

This clever engine turns Sleep-Cursed Faerie into a self-sustaining mana and filtering machine by leveraging Cryptolith Rite to give the Faerie the tap ability it needs to generate mana. Meanwhile, Unctus, Grand Metatect turns those taps into infinite loot triggers, letting you cycle through your deck while drawing and discarding at will. Zirda, the Dawnwaker plays a crucial role behind the scenes, discounting the Faerie's untap cost so that it only costs a single blue mana to untap—matching the exact amount of mana the Faerie produces when tapped.
