How it works

  1. Activate Emiel the Blessed by paying 3, blinking Alena.
  2. Activate Alena by tapping it, adding at least R manaR manaR manaR mana.
  3. Repeat.
  4. Once you have infinite mana, you may blink any other creature(s) you control.

This dazzling loop relies on Emiel the Blessed to continuously exile and return Alena, Kessig Trapper to the battlefield, resetting her ability each time she flickers back in. Because Alena checks the greatest power among creatures that entered the turn, her tap ability produces a growing surge of red mana that easily outpaces Emiel's activation cost once you've generated enough mana to start the engine. Meanwhile, Fires of Yavimaya quietly grants haste so that Alena can tap the very moment she re-enters the battlefield, letting you generate infinite red mana and infinite creature enters-the-battlefield triggers.
