Color Identity: G, W, U, B

Initial Card State

  1.  Biomathematician in hand.
  2.  Wall of Roots in exile (exiled with Agatha's Soul Cauldron).
  3.  All other permanents on the battlefield.

Mana Needed

  1. ({3} magic symbol)  ({G} magic symbol)  ({U} magic symbol)   available.

Steps

  1. Cast Biomathematician by paying its mana cost; it enters with a vigilance counter due to Tayam.
  2. When Biomathematician enters, it triggers, creating a 0/0 Fractal creature token with a vigilance counter due to Tayam, then putting a +1/+1 counter on each Fractal you control.
  3. Declare that you are activating Tayam's ability, so state-based actions will not be checked until the ability is activated.
  4. While paying that ability's cost, activate the creature token using the Wall of Roots mana ability from Agatha's Soul Cauldron by putting a -0/-1 counter on it, adding ({G} magic symbol)  .
  5. Complete the activation by paying ({3} magic symbol)   and removing a vigilance counter from each of the two creatures and a -0/-1 counter from the Fractal token.
  6. Holding priority, activate Phyrexian Altar twice by sacrificing Biomathematician and the creature token, adding two mana.
  7. Resolve Tayam's ability, milling three and returning Biomathematician from your graveyard to the battlefield with a vigilance counter on it.
  8. Repeat from step 2.

Notes

  1. This order of operations (and the additional ({2} magic symbol)   starting mana) are necessary because you must activate mana abilities before paying costs, and so you cannot use Ashnod's Altar to get mana from the creature you need to remove counters from.

Results

  1. Infinite +1/+1 counters on certain creatures.
  2. Infinite creature ETB.
  3. Infinite creature LTB.
  4. Infinite creature sacrifice triggers.
  5. Infinite death triggers.
  6. Infinite self-mill.
