Zombie Infestation discards two to create a 2/2 Zombie token; with Beastmaster Ascension giving it power 4 or greater, both Kavu Lair and Garruk's Uprising trigger to draw two cards, netting back what was spent. The loop demands four permanents across two colors plus a charged Ascension, so the setup cost is real — this lives in Golgari token-aristocrats shells that can reliably attack five times to prime the Ascension before going off.

How it works

Prerequisites

You have at least two cards in hand. Beastmaster Ascension has at least five quest counters on it.

Steps

Activate Zombie Infestation by discarding two cards, creating a 2/2 Zombie creature token.
When the Zombie enters the battlefield, Kavu Lair and Garruk's Uprising trigger, causing you to draw two cards.
Repeat.

Result

Infinite draw triggers; Infinite rummaging; Infinite self-discard triggers; Near-infinite creature tokens; Near-infinite ETB

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Garruk's Uprising can be cut if Kavu Lair is already meeting the power threshold alone, but the redundancy matters when opponents answer enchantments at instant speed. The loop generates near-infinite tokens but no direct kill — pair it with Zulaport Cutthroat, Blood Artist, or Altar of Dementia to convert the token flood into a win condition.
