Jegantha, the Wellspring + Horde of Notions + Shilgengar, Sire of Famine + Kratos, God of War
How it works
- Activate Jegantha by tapping it, adding that cannot be spent to pay generic mana costs.
- Activate Shilgengar by sacrificing Jegantha.
- Activate Horde of Notions by paying , causing you to cast Jegantha from your graveyard without paying its mana cost.
- Repeat.
By tapping Jegantha, the Wellspring, you generate the exact five-color mana requirement—{W}{U}{B}{R}{G}—needed to fuel Horde of Notions' ability, while its restriction on generic costs is handily bypassed by casting directly from the graveyard. Shilgengar, Sire of Famine acts as the crucial sacrifice outlet that feeds this loop, turning the sacrificed Jegantha into a Blood token and sending it to the graveyard. From there, Horde of Notions steps in to pull Jegantha right back onto the battlefield without paying its mana cost, ready to be tapped all over again. While Kratos, God of War isn't directly part of the engine loop, its static ability grants all your creatures haste to ensure everything operates smoothly, and its end-step trigger capitalizes on the massive creature presence you are generating.
