Aeve, Progenitor Ooze + Ashnod's Altar + Gemstone Array
How it works
- Cast Aeve from the command zone by paying 2 plus commander tax, if applicable.
- Aeve's storm ability triggers, creating a nonlegendary token copy of itself for each spell you've cast previously this turn.
- Activate Ashnod's Altar three times by sacrificing the nontoken Aeve and two Aeve tokens, adding six C.
- Choose to have Aeve returned to the command zone from your graveyard.
- Activate Gemstone Array's first ability three times by paying 6, putting three charge counter on it.
- Activate Gemstone Array's second ability three times by removing three charge counters from it, adding .
- Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing an Aeve token, adding CC.
- Repeat step 7 until you have enough mana to cast Aeve.
- Repeat from step 1.
This loop relies on casting **Aeve, Progenitor Ooze** to flood the board with nonlegendary token copies thanks to its native storm ability, scaling exponentially with the turn's prior spellcasting. Once your army of Oozes is assembled, **Ashnod's Altar** acts as the engine, turning your sacrificial creatures into a massive influx of colorless mana. Because **Gemstone Array** is there to convert that raw colorless energy into any color you need—specifically green—you can easily filter the mana to pay for future commander taxes. By letting the original **Aeve, Progenitor Ooze** return to the command zone and using the leftover token copies to sustain the loop, you achieve an infinite cascade of casts, sacrifices, and mana to overwhelm the table.
