This clever loop dances back and forth between the graveyard and the battlefield by using clone and recursion mechanics to feed on each other endlessly. By casting The Master, Formed Anew: Body Thief, you exile a creature to set up a clone target, which allows Phantasmal Image to enter the battlefield as a copy of Ruthless Technomancer. Ruthless Technomancer's entrance provides the crucial sacrifice engine and treasure generation needed to fuel the loop, while its second ability pays the mana to recur your fallen pieces. Meanwhile, Agatha of the Vile Cauldron is just waiting on the sidelines—though the step-by-step sequence doesn't directly list her, her static ability provides a massive mechanical discount to activate those costly recursion abilities, keeping the mana requirements low enough to sustain the cycle indefinitely.
