    How it works

    Before you start

    There's two or more creature cards in your graveyard.

    Steps

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