Wretched Throng + Ashnod's Altar + Pitiless Plunderer + Nylea, Keen-Eyed + Paradox Shaper // Omit Variables

Wretched Throng

Ashnod's Altar

Pitiless Plunderer

Nylea, Keen-Eyed

Paradox Shaper // Omit Variables

How it works

1. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Wretched Throng, adding CC.
2. When Wretched Throng dies, it and Pitiless Plunderer trigger.
3. Holding priority, activate Paradox Shaper // Omit Variables by paying 2, putting Wretched Throng from your graveyard onto the bottom of your library.
4. Resolve the Pitiless Plunderer trigger, creating a Treasure token.
5. Resolve the Wretched Throng trigger, putting Wretched Throng from your library into your hand.
6. Activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding .
7. Cast Wretched Throng by paying due to Nylea.
8. Repeat.

This clever engine turns a humble common into an endless loop by leveraging a clever cost reduction and recycling loop. As you sacrifice Wretched Throng to Ashnod's Altar for mana, Pitiless Plunderer steps in to generate a Treasure token on the way out, while Wretched Throng's own death trigger lets you tutor another copy straight to your hand. Nylea, Keen-Eyed quietly discounts the creature spell's cost so that the mana from your Treasures and the Altar covers the casting expenses perfectly. Meanwhile, Paradox Shaper // Omit Variables puts the sacrificed Throng right back on the bottom of your library if needed, ensuring this wondrous transmutation can repeat indefinitely for boundless sacrifices, triggers, and storm count!
