Infinite colored mana

How it works

  1. Activate Marvin using Selvala's ability by paying G mana and tapping it, adding at least 2G mana.
  2. Activate Marvin using Pili-Pala's ability by paying 2 and untapping it, adding one mana of any color.
  3. Repeat.

This clever loop turns **Marvin, Murderous Mimic** into a mechanical chameleon by having it copy the active capabilities of both **Pili-Pala** and **Selvala, Heart of the Wilds**. Because **Selvala, Heart of the Wilds** provides the massive mana injection needed to kickstart the engine, **Marvin, Murderous Mimic** can easily pay the activation costs of **Pili-Pala**'s untap ability. By cycling back and forth between these two borrowed talents, you generate an infinite surplus of colored mana in formats like commander, legacy, oathbreaker, and vintage.
