How it works

  1. If Enduring Vitality is not a creature, activate Zur by paying 1W mana, causing Enduring Vitality to become a creature.
  2. Activate Enduring Vitality by tapping it, adding W mana.
  3. Activate Thermopod's second ability by sacrificing Enduring Vitality, adding R mana.
  4. When Enduring Vitality dies, it triggers, returning itself from your graveyard to the battlefield as an enchantment.
  5. Repeat.

This loop turns Enduring Vitality into a self-sustaining sacrifice engine by leveraging Zur, Eternal Schemer to animate it into an enchantment creature so its own mana ability can be tapped. Once active, Thermopod provides the necessary outlet to sacrifice the freshly tapped Enduring Vitality for red mana, triggering Enduring Vitality's own death ability to resurrect itself cleanly as a noncreature enchantment ready to be animated all over again. While Cyclops of Eternal Fury isn't strictly required for the core mana loop, it peacefully hangs around giving your team haste just by being part of the battlefield's machinery.
