Sevinne's Reclamation returns Eternal Witness, which immediately retrieves Sevinne's Reclamation back to hand; sacrificing Eternal Witness to Phyrexian Altar pays the white for the next cast, while Pitiless Plunderer and Sifter of Skulls together generate a Treasure and an Eldrazi Scion each cycle to cover the remaining two mana. The combo asks nothing of the battlefield state beyond these five permanents and Sevinne's Reclamation starting in the graveyard or hand, which any Abzan reanimator or aristocrats commander — Karador, Ghost Chieftain, Nethroi, Apex of Death, or Tayam, Luminous Enigma — can arrange without strain.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

02

Steps

  1. Cast Sevinne's Reclamation by paying {2}{W}, returning Eternal Witness to the battlefield.
  2. Eternal Witness enters the battlefield, returning Sevinne's Reclamation from your graveyard to your hand.
  3. Activate Phyrexian Altar by sacrificing Eternal Witness, adding {W}.
  4. Pitiless Plunderer and Sifter of Skulls triggers.
  5. Resolve the Pitiless Plunderer, creating a Treasure token.
  6. Resolve the Sifter of Skulls trigger, creating a 1/1 Eldrazi Scion creature token.
  7. Activate a Treasure token by tapping and sacrificing it, adding one mana of any color.
  8. Activate Eldrazi Scion by sacrificing it, adding {C}.
  9. Pitiless Plunderer triggers, creating a Treasure token.
  10. Repeat.

03

Result

Infinite colored mana; Infinite death triggers; Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite storm count; Infinite Treasure tokens

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Pitiless Plunderer is the most replaceable piece — any effect that generates two mana worth of tokens on creature death, such as a second sacrifice outlet feeding Ashnod's Altar, covers the mana gap. Sifter of Skulls can be swapped for any other token-on-death producer if the Eldrazi subtype is irrelevant to the build. The loop generates infinite mana but no default kill; Altar of Dementia, Blood Artist, or Zulaport Cutthroat are the natural closers in the colors.
