Ashaya, Soul of the Wild + Pili-Pala + Regal Behemoth

Ashaya, Soul of the Wild

Pili-Pala

Regal Behemoth

How it works

1. Activate Pili-Pala by tapping it, adding .
2. Activate Pili-Pala by paying 2 and untapping it, adding one mana of any color.
3. Repeat.

This clever engine transforms a humble scarecrow into a self-sustaining mana generator by leveraging Ashaya, Soul of the Wild to turn Pili-Pala into a Forest land alongside its creature type. Once Pili-Pala gains that land status, Regal Behemoth steps in as the linchpin while you are the monarch, doubling the mana produced whenever that land is tapped. This turns Pili-Pala's activated ability into a positive-sum loop, netting extra mana on each iteration as you tap and untap it repeatedly.
