How it works

  1. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Pelakka Wurm, adding CC.
  2. When Pelakka Wurm dies, its second ability and Nim Deathmantle trigger.
  3. Resolve the Pelakka Wurm trigger, causing you to draw a card.
  4. Resolve the Nim Deathmantle trigger from step 2, causing you to pay 4 to return Pelakka Wurm from your graveyard to the battlefield, and attach Nim Deathmantle to it.
  5. When Pelakka Wurm enters the battlefield, its first ability triggers, causing you to gain 7 life.
  6. Trudge Garden triggers, causing you to pay 2 to create a 4/4 Fungus Beast and a 1/1 Soldier creature token.
  7. Activate Ashnod's Altar twice by sacrificing the Fungus Beast and Soldier, adding CCCC.
  8. Repeat.

This fascinating loop turns Pelakka Wurm's massive life-swing on entry into a self-sustaining engine, fueled by Ashnod's Altar providing the exact mana needed to revive the Wurm with Nim Deathmantle time and again. Every cycle sees the Wurm cycle back from the graveyard, triggering Trudge Garden with its lifegain to churn out a 4/4 Fungus Beast. Thanks to Queen Allenal of Ruadach's replacement effect, that token creation is upgraded to simultaneously birth an extra 1/1 Soldier creature token, providing the extra sacrifice fodder needed to keep Ashnod's Altar flush with colorless mana while netting infinite card draw, life, and tokens along the way.
