How it works

  1. Cast Sensei's Divining Top by paying 1
  2. Kykar triggers, creating a 1/1 Spirit creature token.
  3. When Sensei's Divining Top enters, Skyswimmer Koi triggers.
  4. Holding priority, activate Sensei's Divining Top by tapping it, causing you to draw a card and put Sensei's Divining Top on top of your library.
  5. Resolve the Skyswimmer Koi trigger, causing you to draw Sensei's Divining Top from your library, and then discard a card other than Sensei's Divining Top.
  6. Activate Kykar by sacrificing the Spirit, adding R mana.
  7. Repeat

This clever loop transforms the humble Sensei's Divining Top into an endless engine by using its self-replacing draw ability to constantly feed the stack. Skyswimmer Koi acts as the crucial bridge here, letting you instantly pull the Top back into your hand whenever it re-enters the battlefield instead of waiting to draw it normally. Meanwhile, Kykar, Wind's Fury rewards your noncreature spellcasting by spawning Spirit tokens that you can immediately sacrifice for red mana, funding the {1} cost to cast the Top over and over again.
