How it works

  1. If Selvala has summoning sickness, activate Kenrith's first ability by paying R mana, giving all creatures haste until end of turn.
  2. Activate Selvala by paying G mana and tapping it, adding at least 2B manaR manaG mana.
  3. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Selvala, adding CC.
  4. Activate Kenrith's fifth ability by paying 4B mana, returning Selvala from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  5. Repeat.

This brilliant loop turns Kenrith, the Returned King into a self-sustaining engine by utilizing his final activated ability to continuously cheat Selvala, Heart of the Wilds back from the dead. Whenever Selvala enters the battlefield, she immediately repays the mana investment by tapping for massive amounts of green and colored mana thanks to her own power-scaling ability, while Ashnod's Altar acts as the necessary sacrifice outlet to send her right back to the graveyard. Because Kenrith, the Returned King also grants haste with his red ability if Selvala ever suffers from summoning sickness, you can instantly loop this process as many times as you like.
