    How it works

    Steps

    Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Essenceknit Scholar, adding {C}{C}. When Essenceknit Scholar dies, Nim Deathmantle triggers, causing you to pay {4} to return Essenceknit Scholar from your graveyard to the battlefield and attach Nim Deathmantle to it. When Essenceknit Scholar enters, it triggers, creating a creature token. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing a creature token, adding {C}{C}. Repeat.
