Nemata, Grove Guardian pumps out 1/1 Saprolings on demand; Skullclamp kills each token immediately and draws two cards, while Cadaverous Bloom converts those two cards into four green mana to pay Nemata's activation again. The loop is self-funding from the second iteration and accelerates as long as the hand stays stocked, which it always does. The table sees a Skullclamp equip and has one window before the library is gone.

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Thassa's Oracle is the non-negotiable closer here — the results explicitly exile the library rather than mill it, so Laboratory Maniac and Jace, Wielder of Mysteries are cleaner substitutes if Oracle draws removal before it resolves. Tightening the prerequisites matters: the combo stalls without two cards in hand to seed the first Bloom activation, so Sylvan Library or Phyrexian Arena in the 99 smooth out cold-hand starts before the engine comes online.
