How it works

  1. Declare Throat Slitter as an attacker.
  2. When it isn't blocked, activate up to seven lands you control by tapping them, adding at least 4U manaU manaB mana.
  3. Activate Palinchron's ninjutsu ability by paying 2U manaB mana and returning Throat Slitter from the battlefield to your hand, putting Palinchron onto the battlefield from your hand tapped and attacking.
  4. When Palinchron enters the battlefield, it triggers, untapping up to seven lands.
  5. Activate Throat Slitter's ninjutsu ability by paying 2B mana and returning Palinchron from the battlefield to your hand, putting Throat Slitter onto the battlefield from your hand tapped and attacking.
  6. Repeat from step 2.
  7. If you control up to seven lands that can tap to produce at least 5U manaB manaB mana, this combo nets infinite mana.

This clever engine turns Satoru Umezawa into a master of economic logistics by granting every creature card in your hand ninjutsu, including the towering Palinchron. You can use Palinchron's entry trigger to untap your lands and fund the return of Throat Slitter, whose own cheaper ninjutsu cost allows you to bounce Palinchron right back to your hand. As you loop these two threats through the red zone, Satoru Umezawa's passive ability even helps you dig through your library for answers along the way, generating an endless cycle of enters-the-battlefield and leaves-the-battlefield triggers while netting boundless mana.
