How it works

  1. Activate Nyx Lotus by tapping it, adding at least 4.
  2. Activate Synod Artificer's second ability by paying 2 and tapping it, untapping Thousand-Year Elixir and Nyx Lotus.
  3. Activate Thousand-Year Elixir by paying 1 and tapping it, untapping Synod Artificer.
  4. Repeat.

This crafty loop turns a high devotion count into an unstoppable engine by leveraging Thousand-Year Elixir to bypass summoning sickness and grant Synod Artificer the speed it needs to start untapping. Once the engine is rolling, Nyx Lotus generates enough colored mana to comfortably pay for both Synod Artificer's untap ability and the Thousand-Year Elixir activation required to reset the artificer itself. Because Synod Artificer targets noncreature artifacts, it effortlessly refreshes both the lotus and the elixir while continuously cycling mana, netting a surplus as long as your devotion meets the threshold.
