This loop turns a modest investment of mana into an overwhelming cascade of resources by exploiting the incredible token-doubling replacement effect of Stridehangar Automaton. Whenever you activate Mite Overseer, the Automaton ensures you get both a Phyrexian Mite and an extra Thopter token, which immediately fuel Krark-Clan Ironworks to generate more than enough colorless mana to repeat the process. Meanwhile, the chapters of Thunder of Unity capitalize on this endless parade of arriving artifacts to systematically drain your opponents' life totals while padding your own. While Mite Overseer also hands out first strike and stat boosts, and Stridehangar Automaton pumps your Thopters, the engine scales infinitely without ever needing to enter the combat phase.
