How it works

  1. Activate Emiel the Blessed by paying 3, blinking Alena.
  2. Activate Alena by tapping it, adding at least R manaR manaR manaR mana.
  3. Repeat.
  4. Once you have infinite mana, you may blink any other creature(s) you control.

This elegant loop turns Emiel the Blessed and Alena, Kessig Trapper into an infinite mana engine by repeatedly resetting Alena's activation restriction. Because Urabrask the Hidden grants haste to your creatures, Alena can immediately tap the moment she returns from exile to produce red mana—scaling off her own power or any other large creature that entered this turn. You simply feed that red mana back into Emiel the Blessed's {3} activation cost, netting extra mana with each iteration. Urabrask the Hidden's secondary ability is mostly window dressing here, but his passive haste-granting is the essential glue that lets Alena tap the very instant she hits the battlefield.
