How it works

  1. Activate Nykthos's second ability by paying 2 and tapping it, adding at least U manaU manaU manaU manaU mana.
  2. Activate Meloku by paying 1 and returning Nykthos from the battlefield to your hand, creating a 1/1 Illusion creature token.
  3. Activate High Market's second ability by tapping it and sacrificing the Illusion.
  4. When the Illusion dies, Sakashima of a Thousand Faces and Minn's second abilities trigger.
  5. Holding priority, activate Meloku by paying 1 and returning High Market from the battlefield to your hand, creating a 1/1 Illusion creature token.
  6. Resolve the Sakashima of a Thousand Faces and Minn triggers, putting Nykthos and High Market from your hand onto the battlefield.
  7. Repeat.

This loop is a masterclass in recursive leverage, turning Minn, Wily Illusionist and a copy-protected board into an engine of endless mana and tokens. By using Meloku the Clouded Mirror to bounce Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and High Market right back to your hand, you supply the fodder needed to feed High Market's sacrifice outlet and trigger Minn's second ability. That death trigger allows you to instantly drop those exact lands back onto the battlefield, where Nykthos's devotion-fueled mana generation and High Market's sacrifice ability reset the whole cycle. Meanwhile, Sakashima of a Thousand Faces quietly bypasses the legend rule so your setup can thrive without interference, while generating parallel triggers that keep the chain unbroken.
