Verdant Succession + Mortuary + Umbral Collar Zealot

Verdant Succession

Mortuary

Umbral Collar Zealot

How it works

1. Activate Umbral Collar Zealot by sacrificing a green nontoken creature.
2. When the creature dies, Verdant Succession and Mortuary trigger.
3. Resolve the Mortuary trigger, putting the creature on top of your library from your graveyard.
4. Resolve the Verdant Succession trigger, returning the creature from your library to the battlefield.
5. Resolve the Umbral Collar Zealot ability.
6. Repeat.

By leveraging Umbral Collar Zealot as a repeatable sacrifice outlet, you set up a clever tug-of-war for any green nontoken creature that meets its demise. The moment that creature hits the graveyard, Mortuary swoops in to place the card squarely on top of your library, allowing Verdant Succession to immediately pluck that exact same card from your library and return it directly to the battlefield. This closed loop lets you endlessly repeat the cycle to generate infinite death triggers, enter-the-battlefield effects, and surveil activations at will.
