How it works

  1. Cast Acererak by paying B mana.
  2. God-Pharaoh's Faithful triggers, causing you to gain life.
  3. When Acererak enters, its first ability and Carnival of Souls trigger.
  4. Resolve the Carnival of Souls trigger, causing you to add B mana and lose 1 life.
  5. Resolve the Acererak trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand, and venturing into Lost Mine of Phandelver.
  6. Repeat.

This clever loop relies on casting Acererak the Archlich for a single black mana, triggering its enter-the-battlefield ability to immediately bounce itself back to your hand while venturing into the dungeon (specifically looping *Lost Mine of Phandelver*). Carnival of Souls fuels this endless cycle by refunding your mana investment at the modest cost of a life point each time Acererak enters, turning a self-returning creature into a continuous engine. Meanwhile, God-Pharaoh's Faithful turns every single casting iteration into a net-neutral life exchange, keeping you afloat as you grind through the dungeon. Finally, Hamza, Guardian of Arashin scales with the chaos, leveraging the creature enters-the-battlefield triggers to make subsequent spells even cheaper and cementing an unstoppable engine.
