How it works

  1. Cast Dargo from the command zone by paying R mana.
  2. Birgi triggers, adding R mana.
  3. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Dargo, adding CC.
  4. Choose to return Dargo to the command zone from your graveyard.
  5. Repeat.

This explosive loop centers on Dargo, the Shipwrecker and its unique knack for cheap recursion from the command zone, fueled entirely by the mana-generating engine of Ashnod's Altar. Because Dargo costs {2} less for each other artifact or creature you've sacrificed this turn—and its own commander tax can be completely bypassed by utilizing its massive cost-reduction—you can recast it over and over for a mere single red mana. To sustain that red mana requirement, Birgi, God of Storytelling sits on the battlefield waiting to generate {R} every single time you cast Dargo from the command zone. The result is a self-sustaining loop that simultaneously generates infinite colorless mana via the Altar while stacking up infinite creature sacrifices, storm count, and death triggers.
