Shepherd of the Cosmos + Thermopod + Fungal Fortitude

Shepherd of the Cosmos

Thermopod

Fungal Fortitude

How it works

1. Activate Thermopod's second ability by sacrificing Shepherd of the Cosmos, adding .
2. When Shepherd of the Cosmos dies, Fungal Fortitude triggers, returning Shepherd of the Cosmos from your graveyard to the battlefield.
3. When Shepherd of the Cosmos enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Fungal Fortitude from your graveyard to the battlefield attached to Shepherd of the Cosmos.
4. Repeat.

This delightful loop harnesses Thermopod as an efficient altar, turning creatures into raw red mana while waiting for Shepherd of the Cosmos to hit the graveyard. The crucial recursive engine is driven by Fungal Fortitude, which immediately drags the Shepherd back from the grave whenever it perishes. As Shepherd of the Cosmos re-enters the battlefield, its own triggered ability reaches back into the graveyard to rescue Fungal Fortitude, attaching it once more so the cycle can repeat indefinitely.
