Zask, Skittering Swarmlord + Aluren + Altar of Dementia

Zask, Skittering Swarmlord

Aluren

Altar of Dementia

How it works

1. Cast the Insect from your hand or graveyard by paying 0 due to Aluren.
2. Activate Altar of Dementia by sacrificing the Insect.
3. When the Insect dies, Zask triggers.
4. Holding priority, cast the Insect from your graveyard by paying 0 due to Aluren.
5. Resolve the Zask ability, causing you to mill two cards.
6. Resolve the Altar of Dementia ability.
7. Repeat from step 2.

This clever loop transforms a low-cost creature into an unstoppable mill engine by turning your graveyard into an extension of your hand. Zask, Skittering Swarmlord provides the crucial recursion by letting you cast Insect spells directly from your graveyard, while also recycling them to the bottom of your library and milling two cards whenever another Insect you control dies. Aluren fuels the entire engine by removing mana costs entirely for creatures with mana value 3 or less, letting you recast your fallen bug for free at instant speed. Finally, Altar of Dementia provides the sacrifice outlet that instantly triggers Zask and mills your opponents to death one iteration at a time.
