Fluctuator drops Polluted Mire's cycling cost to zero; each cycle triggers Bone Miser for two black mana, draws a card off the cycling trigger, and lets Escape Protocol blink Eternal Witness for one colorless. Eternal Witness returns Polluted Mire to hand, and the loop resets. The combo lives in Sultai graveyard-value shells — commanders like Muldrotha, the Gravetide or Grist, the Hunger Tide that already want cycling payoffs and recursive creatures.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Ash Barrens or any cycling land that produces a relevant color can substitute for Polluted Mire if the specific black mana production is less critical, though Bone Miser demands a discard each cycle so the land slot matters. The loop makes infinite mana and draws the deck but needs a sink — Thrasios, Triton Hero converts the mana into a win in place, or pair with a creature that wins on infinite ETBs like Altar of the Brood to mill the table out.
