This loop relies on the constant rebirth of Workhorse, whose native ability to strip away its own counters leaves it completely vulnerable to dying. That vulnerability becomes its greatest strength thanks to Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, whose static undying ability ensures that whenever Workhorse hits the graveyard, it bounces right back to the battlefield with a fresh +1/+1 counter ready to be converted into colorless mana. Meanwhile, Altar of Dementia capitalizes on this endless cycle by turning each sacrifice into incremental self-mill, letting you grind through your deck while generating infinite mana and death triggers.
