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 Umbral Collar Zealot by sacrificing Wormfang Manta.
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.
Resolve the Umbral Collar Zealot ability
Cast Wormfang Manta by paying 5.
Wormfang Manta's first ability does not trigger due to Hushwing Gryff.
Repeat each turn.
This brilliant, tortuous loop exploits Hushwing Gryff to turn Wormfang Manta's greatest drawback—skipping your turns—into pure fuel for extra turns. By placing a ghostform counter on the Manta using Kaya the Inexorable, you set up a repeatable engine where Umbral Collar Zealot cleanly sacrifices the creature to send it back to your hand via the counter's deferred trigger. Meanwhile, the Gryff stands guard on the battlefield, its static ability quietly suppressing the Manta's pesky enter-the-battlefield trigger so you never skip a beat. Cast the Manta again on your turn, repeat the sacrifice, and chain infinite turns together while leaving your opponents entirely in the dust.
