How it works

  1. Activate Twilight Drover by paying 2W mana and removing a +1/+1 counter from it, creating two 1/1 Spirit creature tokens with flying and a 1/1 Soldier creature token.
  2. Activate Phyrexian Altar three times by sacrificing the Soldier and Spirits, adding 2W mana.
  3. When the Spirits and Soldier die, Twilight Drover triggers three times, putting three +1/+1 counters on itself.
  4. Repeat.

This loop turns a modest investment of mana into an escalating cascade of spirits, soldiers, and permanent growth. By tapping into Queen Allenal of Ruadach's replacement effect, every activation of Twilight Drover's ability yields an extra 1/1 white Soldier creature token alongside the two 1/1 white Spirit creature tokens with flying, ensuring your token count swells with each iteration. Once these three tokens hit the battlefield, Phyrexian Altar steps in to effortlessly convert them into the exact amount of mana needed to fuel Twilight Drover's activation cost, while simultaneously feeding the very death triggers that place three +1/+1 counters back onto Twilight Drover to keep the engine running indefinitely.
