Initial Card State

  1.  Grishnákh in hand.
  2.  Tayam and Ashnod's Altar on the battlefield.

Mana Needed

  1. ({3} magic symbol)   available.

Steps

  1. Cast Grishnákh by paying its mana cost; it enters with a vigilance counter due to Tayam.
  2. When Grishnákh enters, it creates a creature token with mutiple counters on it, including a vigilance counter due to Tayam, and, if possible, allows you to gain control of a creature with lesser power than that token's power until end of turn.
  3. Activate Tayam by paying ({3} magic symbol)   and removing two vigilance counters and one additional counter from creatures you control.
  4. Holding priority, activate Ashnod's Altar twice by sacrificing Grishnákh and one additional creature, adding ({C} magic symbol)  ({C} magic symbol)  ({C} magic symbol)  ({C} magic symbol)  .
  5. Resolve Tayam's ability, milling yourself three cards and returning Grishnákh from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  6. Repeat from step 2.

Notes

  1. This order of operations and the additional ({3} magic symbol)   starting mana is necessary because you must activate mana abilities like Ashnod's Altar's before paying the counter removal cost.

  2. Infinite colorless mana.
  3. Infinite creature ETB.
  4. Infinite creature LTB.
