How it works

  1. Activate Soul of Windgrace's second ability by paying R mana and discarding Dakmor Salvage.
  2. Surly Badgersaur's second ability triggers, creating a Treasure token.
  3. Resolve the Soul of Windgrace ability, causing you to mill two cards and return Dakmor Salvage from your graveyard to your hand.
  4. Activate a Treasure token by tapping and sacrificing it, adding R mana.
  5. Repeat.

This cunning loop transforms the humble act of discarding into a self-sustaining engine by leaning on cost reduction and graveyard recursion. Zirda, the Dawnwaker serves as the catalyst, discounting Soul of Windgrace’s activated draw ability so that it only costs the red mana you generate. When you discard Dakmor Salvage to fuel that ability, Surly Badgersaur steps in to turn your discarded land into a fresh Treasure token, which you then crack for the exact mana needed to keep the cycle spinning. Meanwhile, Dakmor Salvage's dredge ability steps in whenever you would draw that card, conveniently milling your library while ensuring the land bounces right back to your hand for the next iteration.
