How it works

  1. Cast Mystic Speculation by paying U mana due to Council of the Absolute.
  2. Namor triggers, creating a 1/1 Merfolk creature token.
  3. Resolve Mystic Speculation.
  4. Activate Phyrexian Altar by sacrificing the Merfolk, adding U mana.
  5. Repeat.

This elegant loop turns a modest divination into an infinite engine by leveraging a clever cost reduction and a steady supply of fodder. With Council of the Absolute naming Mystic Speculation, its cost is reduced to just a single blue mana, which can be paid directly using the mana generated when Phyrexian Altar devours the creatures you create. Each time you cast the spell, Namor the Sub-Mariner triggers to generate a 1/1 blue Merfolk creature token, fueling the Altar while also growing Namor's power to match your new aquatic army. Because you can repeatedly cast and sacrifice, you can continuously filter through your deck with Mystic Speculation's scry ability until you find whatever victory you need.
