This charming loop turns a humble Pilot into a self-sustaining engine by transforming its tap into pure mana. With Cryptolith Rite granting every creature the ability to tap for mana, Shuttle Ace can tap itself to pay for Pemmin's Aura's untap ability. Pemmin's Aura then readies Shuttle Ace for another go, creating a closed economic loop where each iteration generates infinite life thanks to Shuttle Ace's built-in lifegain trigger.
