Simic Ragworm + Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter + Mana Reflection

Simic Ragworm

Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter

Mana Reflection

How it works

1. Activate Simic Ragworm by tapping it, adding .
2. Activate Simic Ragworm by paying , untapping it.
3. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms Simic Ragworm into a self-sustaining mana engine by turning its activated untap ability into a profitable enterprise. Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter lays the groundwork by granting the worm the ability to tap for any color of mana whenever it bears a +1/+1 counter (which the planeswalker's minus ability can readily supply). To break the math wide open, Mana Reflection doubles every single drop of mana produced, ensuring that tapping the creature yields twice what it costs to untap it with its own ability. The result is an infinite surplus of colored mana, all fueled by a humble caterpillar and a benevolent planeswalker.
