Hit the Mother Lode self-funds its own recursion: it exiles Eternal Witness off the top, casts it free, and the seven Treasures it creates pay exactly 4RRR to recast it next loop — but only because Amulet of Vigor untaps those Treasures on entry and Mortuary guarantees Eternal Witness never stays in the graveyard. Carrion Feeder is the sacrifice outlet that triggers the chain and eats the counter each iteration.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

02

Steps

  1. Activate Carrion Feeder by sacrificing Eternal Witness.
  2. When Eternal Witness dies, Mortuary triggers, putting Eternal Witness on top of your library from your graveyard.
  3. Resolve the Carrion Feeder ability, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
  4. Cast Hit the Mother Lode by paying {4}{R}{R}{R}, exiling Eternal Witness from the top of your library and casting it without paying its mana cost, and creating seven tapped Treasure artifact tokens.
  5. When Eternal Witness and the Treasures enter the battlefield, Amulet of Vigor triggers seven times and Eternal Witness triggers once.
  6. Resolve all Amulet of Vigor triggers, untapping the Treasures.
  7. Resolve the Eternal Witness trigger, returning Hit the Mother Lode from your graveyard to your hand.
  8. Activate seven Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding {4}{R}{R}{R}.
  9. Repeat.

Result

Infinite +1/+1 counters on a creature; Infinite death triggers; Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite magecraft triggers; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite storm count

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Viscera Seer or Altar of Dementia can replace Carrion Feeder as the free sacrifice outlet if counter accumulation isn't the win condition. The loop generates infinite storm count naturally, so Aetherflux Reservoir closes the game without extra pieces; for the counter line, Walking Ballista or Triskelion converts the Carrion Feeder pile into a direct kill once mana is floating.
