How it works

  1. Cause a creature to enter the battlefield under your control.
  2. Soul Warden triggers, causing you to gain 1 life.
  3. Archangel of Thune triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
  4. Animation Module triggers for each counter placed this way.
  5. Resolve all but one Animation Module trigger, choosing not to pay.
  6. Resolve the last Animation Module trigger, causing you to pay 1 to create a 1/1 Servo artifact creature token.
  7. When the Servo enters the battlefield, Soul Warden triggers.
  8. Holding priority, activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing the Servo, adding CC.
  9. Resolve the Soul Warden trigger, causing you to gain 1 life.
  10. Repeat from step 3.

This brilliant loop turns a simple spark of life into an unstoppable engine by leveraging lifegain and permanent counters in a continuous feedback loop. Whenever a creature arrives, Soul Warden grants you life, which immediately fires off Archangel of Thune to distribute +1/+1 counters across your entire board. That burst of counters awakens Animation Module, giving you the chance to pay a single mana and mint a fresh 1/1 Servo artifact creature token. Feeding that newly born Servo directly into Ashnod's Altar yields the exact colorless mana needed to fund the module's creation cost while leaving you deeply ahead on resources.
