How it works

  1. Cast Saw in Half by paying 2B mana, destroying Pinnacle Monk and creating two token copies of it with base power equal to half the destroyed creature's power and base toughness equal to half the destroyed creature's toughness, rounding up each time.
  2. When the Pinnacle Monk // Mystic Peak tokens enter the battlefield, they trigger, returning Saw in Half and Burnt Offering from your graveyard to your hand.
  3. Cast Burnt Offering by paying B mana and sacrificing a token, adding B manaB mana plus an additional amount of B mana and/or R mana equal to its mana value minus 2.
  4. Repeat.

This clever loop turns Pinnacle Monk // Mystic Peak into a self-sustaining engine by exploiting its enter-the-battlefield trigger to recur your spells. You kick things off by casting Saw in Half to destroy the Monk, leaving behind two token copies that each retrieve your graveyard resources—specifically Saw in Half and Burnt Offering—back to your hand. From there, you sacrifice one of those tokens to Burnt Offering to fuel your mana pool, ensuring you always have the black and red mana needed to repeat the process. Because the net mana generated exceeds the costs to recast both spells, you can cycle them infinitely to churn through your graveyard while amassing boundless mana and triggers.
