How it works

  1. Cast Whitemane Lion by paying 1W mana.
  2. When Whitemane Lion enters the battlefield, it and Arahbo trigger.
  3. Resolve the Whitemane Lion trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
  4. Resolve the Arahbo trigger, creating two 1/1 Cat creature tokens.
  5. Activate Phyrexian Altar twice by sacrificing the Cats, adding 1W mana.
  6. Repeat.

This clever feline loop relies on Whitemane Lion returning itself to your hand upon entry, perfectly refunding its casting cost with mana generated by sacrificing the tokens it leaves behind. Arahbo, the First Fang provides the engine by flooding the board with Cat tokens whenever it or another nontoken Cat enters the battlefield, which is further amplified by Adrix and Nev, Twincasters doubling your token production. Finally, Phyrexian Altar acts as the sacrifice outlet that converts those multiplied tokens into the exact white mana needed to replay the Lion, turning a single cast into an infinite cycle of sacrifices and triggers.
