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 clever loop turns Enduring Vitality into a self-sustaining sacrifice engine by taking advantage of its unique death trigger. First, Zur, Eternal Schemer animates the noncreature Enduring Vitality into an enchantment creature, allowing it to tap for mana thanks to the very same ability it grants itself. You then feed that newly minted creature into Thermopod's sacrifice ability to generate red mana, which conveniently lets you pay for Zur's activation cost once Enduring Vitality's death trigger returns it to the battlefield as an inanimate enchantment. Meanwhile, Fires of Yavimaya sits quietly on the board, ensuring any haste requirements are fully satisfied so the cycle can repeat indefinitely for infinite sacrifice and death triggers.
