O'aka, Traveling Merchant + Mind Over Matter + Lyla, Holographic Assistant

O'aka, Traveling Merchant

Mind Over Matter

Lyla, Holographic Assistant

How it works

1. Activate O'aka by tapping it and removing a counter from a nonland permanent, causing you to draw a card.
2. Lyla triggers, putting a counter on it.
3. Activate Mind Over Matter by discarding a card, untapping O'aka.
4. Repeat.

This clever loop uses Mind Over Matter as the engine to fuel O'aka, Traveling Merchant, whose tap ability demands a counter removal to draw a card. Each time you draw, Lyla, Holographic Assistant steps in to place a fresh +1/+1 counter right back on O'aka, perfectly replenishing the exact resource the Merchant needs to keep going. By discarding cards to Mind Over Matter to untap O'aka, you continuously cycle through your deck, turning your hand into a self-sustaining engine of infinite draws and discards.
