How it works

  1. Activate Jund Battlemage's second ability by paying G mana and tapping it, creating a 1/1 Saproling creature token.
  2. Activate Phyrexian Altar by sacrificing the Saproling, adding G mana.
  3. When the Saproling dies, Jund Battlemage triggers, untapping Jund Battlemage.
  4. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms Jund Battlemage into a self-sustaining engine by outfitting it with Thornbite Staff, whose auto-attach clause lets it effortlessly equip to the Battlemage as a Shaman. Once equipped, the Staff grants the Battlemage a new tap ability, but the real magic lies in its passive trigger: every time a creature dies, the Staff forcefully untaps its wielder. By using the Battlemage's green mana ability to churn out a Saproling, sacrificing that token to Phyrexian Altar for the necessary green mana to repeat the process, and cashing in the resulting death triggers to untap the Battlemage via the Staff, you create a perpetual motion machine that generates infinite sacrifice, entry, and death triggers.
