How it works

  1. Activate Scorched Rusalka by paying R mana and sacrificing Shambling Ghast.
  2. Shambling Ghast and Luminous Broodmoth triggers.
  3. Resolve the Shambling Ghast triggers, creating a treasure token.
  4. Resolve the Luminous Broodmoth triggers, returning Shambling Ghast to the battlefield with a flying counter on it.
  5. Intruder Alarm triggers, untapping all creatures.
  6. Resolve the Sorched Rusalka trigger, dealing 1 damage to any target.
  7. Activate the treasure token by tapping and sacrificing it, adding R mana.
  8. Activate Soul Diviner by tapping it, removing a flying counter from Shambling Ghast.
  9. Repeat.

This clever setup turns Shambling Ghast into a self-sustaining engine of doom, fueled by the relentless untapping power of Intruder Alarm every time a creature enters the battlefield. You sacrifice the Ghast to Scorched Rusalka to chip away at your opponent's life total, which triggers Luminous Broodmoth to bring the Ghast right back—complete with a flying counter—while the Ghast's own death trigger creates a Treasure token for the necessary red mana. Since Luminous Broodmoth only cares about creatures *without* flying, Soul Diviner steps in as the crucial pressure valve, tapping to safely strip away that newly acquired flying counter so the entire loop can immediately begin anew.
