Mite Overseer + Ashnod's Altar + Soul Warden + Stridehangar Automaton

Mite Overseer

Ashnod's Altar

Soul Warden

Stridehangar Automaton

How it works

1. Activate Mite Overseer by paying 3W/P, creating two creature tokens.
2. When the creature tokens enter the battlefield, Soul Warden triggers twice, causing you to gain 2 life.
3. Activate Ashnod's Altar twice by sacrificing the creature tokens, adding CCCC.
4. Repeat.

This clever engine uses Ashnod's Altar as an energy converter, turning the cost of Mite Overseer into a profitable loop that generates infinite colorless mana, lifegain, and death triggers. While Mite Overseer naturally provides the token-making activation, Stridehangar Automaton acts as a critical multiplier—its replacement effect ensures that every activation yields an extra body, turning a mana-negative investment into a surplus. Meanwhile, Soul Warden quietly capitalizes on the revolving door of bodies by padding your life total with every single entry, making this an unstoppable machine for any commander or vintage enthusiast.
