This loop relies on turning every single piece of your puzzle into raw mana and back again. Thanks to Mycosynth Lattice, Despondency is treated as an artifact in addition to its enchantment type, allowing you to feed it directly into Krark-Clan Ironworks to generate two generic mana. That same sacrifice triggers Despondency's own built-in clause, returning it safely to your hand so you can recast it to fuel the engine all over again.
