Vivi Ornitier + Agatha's Soul Cauldron + Geralf, the Fleshwright + Fanning the Flames

Vivi Ornitier

Agatha's Soul Cauldron

Geralf, the Fleshwright

Fanning the Flames

How it works

1. Cast Fanning the Flames with buyback by paying 3.
2. Geralf triggers, creating a 2/2 Zombie Rogue creature token.
3. When the Zombie Rogue enters the battlefield, Geralf's second ability triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on the Zombie Rogue for each other Zombie that entered the battlefield under your control this turn.
4. Resolve the Fanning the Flames spell, returning it to your hand.
5. Activate the Zombie Rogue using Vivi's ability by paying 0, adding an amount of equal to its power.
6. Repeat.

This engine takes off by looping Fanning the Flames with its buyback cost, using Geralf, the Fleshwright to churn out Zombie tokens on every spell after your first. To turn those bodies into a mana source, Agatha's Soul Cauldron bridges the gap by granting your creatures the activated ability of an exiled Vivi Ornitier. Because those Zombies enter with +1/+1 counters from Geralf, the Fleshwright, they inherit Vivi Ornitier's power-scaling mana generation—allowing you to tap the token for a massive influx of red mana for free, recast Fanning the Flames, and repeat the loop for an unstoppable storm of damage and counters.
