Vizier of Remedies + Lesser Masticore + Dross Scorpion + Illuminor Szeras

Vizier of Remedies

Lesser Masticore

Dross Scorpion

Illuminor Szeras

How it works

1. Activate Illuminor Szeras by tapping it and sacrificing Lesser Masticore, adding .
2. When Lesser Masticore dies, its persist ability and Dross Scorpion trigger.
3. Resolve the Dross Scorpion trigger, untapping Illuminor Szeras.
4. Resolve the Lesser Masticore trigger, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with no -1/-1 counters on it due to Vizier of Remedies.
5. Repeat.

This clever loop exploits the replacement effect of Vizier of Remedies to neutralize the drawback of Lesser Masticore's persist ability, allowing the artifact creature to return from the graveyard with zero -1/-1 counters instead of one. Each time you sacrifice the Masticore to fuel Illuminor Szeras for a tidy sum of black mana, Dross Scorpion triggers upon its death to automatically untap Szeras. Because the Masticore comes back endlessly fresh, this mechanical cycle repeats indefinitely to generate infinite black mana along with a storm of artifact death and entry triggers.
