How it works

  1. If Runaway Steam-Kin has three or more +1/+1 counters on it, activate Runaway Steam-Kin by removing three +1/+1 counters from it, adding R manaR manaR mana.
  2. Cast Ignot Chewer for its evoke cost by paying R mana.
  3. Runaway Steam-Kin triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
  4. When Ingot Chewer enters the battlefield, it triggers twice.
  5. Resolve the first trigger, destroying target artifact.
  6. Resolve the second trigger, causing you to sacrifice Ingot Chewer.
  7. When Ingot Chewer dies, Pitiless Plunderer and Rakdos trigger.
  8. Resolve the Pitiless Plunderer trigger, creating a Treasure token.
  9. Holding priority, activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding B mana.
  10. Activate Haunted Crossroads by paying B mana, putting Ingot Chewer from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
  11. Resolve the Rakdos trigger from step 7, causing you to exile the top five cards of your library, including Ingot Chewer, with the ability to play those cards until end of turn.
  12. If Runaway Steam-Kin has three or more +1/+1 counters on it, activate Runaway Steam-Kin by removing three +1/+1 counters from it, adding R manaR manaR mana.
  13. Cast Ingot Chewer from exile for its evoke cost by paying R mana.
  14. Repeat from step 3.

This loop sets up an endless engine of sacrifice and recursion by constantly looping Ingot Chewer using its cheap evoke cost. Pitiless Plunderer and Rakdos, the Muscle act as the engine's core economic drivers, turning every sacrifice into a steady stream of Treasure tokens and free cards ripped right off the top of your library. Meanwhile, Haunted Crossroads efficiently recycles the Chewer back to the top of your deck for a single black mana, ensuring it is always ready to be cast again from exile. Finally, Runaway Steam-Kin fuels the entire sequence by converting red spellcasts into a surplus of mana, letting you repeat the cycle infinitely.
