Mairsil, the Pretender acts as the ultimate receptacle for this sinister alchemy, absorbing the activated abilities of every exiled card in your possession to unlock a self-sustaining loop. By caging Blood Vassal, Mairsil gains the ability to sacrifice itself for black mana, while Devoted Druid provides the crucial untap mechanic by placing a -1/-1 counter on Mairsil—which conveniently cancels out any +1/+1 counters it accumulates. Meanwhile, Endling provides the essential safety net with its undying ability, ensuring that every time Mairsil perishes from its sacrifices, it immediately rises from the grave ready to continue churning out infinite black mana and endless death triggers.
