2. Cast Chromatic Star from your graveyard for its retrace cost by paying 0 and discarding a land card.
3. Activate Lotus Petal by tapping and sacrificing it, adding .
4. Cast Life from the Loam by paying , returning at least two land cards from your graveyard to your hand.
5. Activate Chromatic Star by paying 1, tapping and sacrificing it, adding 1.
6. Chromatic Star triggers, causing you to mill three cards and return Life from the Loam from your graveyard to your hand.
7. Repeat.

This ingenious engine transforms Six into an absolute powerhouse by granting every nonland permanent in your graveyard retrace. Helm of Awakening is the critical cost-reducer that makes casting artifacts for free possible, allowing you to repeatedly deploy Lotus Petal and Chromatic Star by discarding lands to the retrace cost. Whenever you sacrifice Chromatic Star, its death trigger draws you a card—which Life from the Loam replaces with its dredge ability to self-mill and return itself to your hand—while Lotus Petal fuels your green mana needs. Finally, Life from the Loam loops back to scoop those discarded lands right out of your graveyard, keeping your hand fully stocked to fuel endless loops of storm, magecraft, and self-mill.
