Child of Alara and Greenwarden of Murasa both die to Ashnod's Altar in one sacrifice action; Alara's trigger destroys the table, Greenwarden's trigger recovers Faith's Reward from the graveyard, and Faith's Reward puts every destroyed permanent back under your control. Commander's Sphere seeds the loop with the white mana Faith's Reward needs and draws a card before it's swept away. This sits naturally in 5-color goodstuff builds where Child of Alara is already the commander — the board wipe is built into the general.

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Krark-Clan Ironworks can substitute for Ashnod's Altar if colorless mana sourcing is tighter, though it demands artifact synergy the shell may not support. Any permanent that recurs instants or sorceries from the graveyard — Eternal Witness is the closest swap for Greenwarden of Murasa, cutting the mana requirement but losing the redundancy. The combo kills through the infinite storm count with Aetherflux Reservoir or simply empties the library with enough draw triggers and a Laboratory Maniac effect.
