How it works

  1. Activate Lazotep Quarry's second ability by tapping it and sacrificing an Illusion, adding 1.
  2. When the Illusion dies, Minn's second ability triggers.
  3. Holding priority, activate Meloku by paying 1 and returning Lazotep Quarry from the battlefield to your hand, creating a 1/1 Illusion creature token.
  4. Resolve the Minn trigger, putting Lazotep Quarry from your hand onto the battlefield.
  5. Repeat.

This clever engine revolves around a recursive loop where Meloku the Clouded Mirror bounces Lazotep Quarry back to your hand as the cost to spawn an Illusion token. You then feed that token to Lazotep Quarry, tapping it for mana and triggering Minn, Wily Illusionist's second ability when the Illusion dies. Because Minn cares about the creature's power (which can be scaled up or just serves as a valid threshold for permanent cards), her trigger lets you drop Lazotep Quarry right back onto the battlefield from your hand, ready to be bounced and replayed endlessly.
