How it works
Activate Kaya the Inexorable's first ability by putting a loyalty counter on it, putting a ghostform counter on Wormfang Manta.
Activate Phyrexian Altar by sacrificing Wormfang Manta, adding .
When Wormfang Manta dies, its second ability and its ghostform ability trigger.
Resolve the ghostform trigger, returning Wormfang Manta from your graveyard to your hand and creating a 1/1 Spirit creature token.
Resolve the second trigger, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
Cast Wormfang Manta by paying 5.
Wormfang Manta's first ability does not trigger due to Hushwing Gryff.
Repeat each turn.
This brilliant loop achieves total dominance by weaponizing Wormfang Manta's notoriously tricky drawback. Normally, playing the Manta skips your next turn, but Hushwing Gryff's static ability elegantly suppresses that detrimental enter-the-battlefield trigger entirely. Meanwhile, Kaya the Inexorable places a ghostform counter on the Manta, ensuring that when you sacrifice it to Phyrexian Altar for mana, it bounces right back to your hand while triggering an extra turn instead of a skipped one. Because Hushwing Gryff keeps the turn-skipping triggers at bay every time you recast the Manta, you can endlessly chain extra turns and lock your opponents out of the game completely.
