Escape Protocol + Fluctuator + Surly Badgersaur + Pothole Mole

Escape Protocol

Fluctuator

Surly Badgersaur

Pothole Mole

How it works

1. Activate the land's cycling ability by paying 0 due to Fluctuator and discarding it.
2. When you cycle the land, Escape Protocol and Surly Badgersaur trigger.
3. Resolve Surly Badgersaur's ability, creating a Treasure token.
4. Activate the Treasure token by tapping and sacrificing it, adding (1).
5. Resolve Escape Protocol's ability, paying 1 to blink Pothole Mole.
6. When Pothole Mole enters, it triggers, causing you to mill three cards and return the cycled land from your graveyard to your hand.
7. Resolve the activated ability from step 1, drawing a card.

This fascinating engine turns the humble act of cycling into a self-sustaining loop by leveraging cost reduction and continuous recursion. With **Fluctuator** making your land cycling completely free, discarding a land triggers both **Surly Badgersaur**—which immediately mints a Treasure token to fund the process—and **Escape Protocol**. You then use that newly created Treasure to pay Escape Protocol's nominal fee, blinking **Pothole Mole** to continuously mill your library and return the cycled land straight back to your hand.
