Color Identity: W, B, G

Initial Card State

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

Mana Needed

  1. ({4} magic symbol)  ({B} magic symbol)   available.

Steps

  1. Cast Vizier of the Scorpion by paying its mana cost; it enters with a vigilance counter due to Tayam.
  2. When Vizier of the Scorpion enters, it triggers, creating a 0/0 creature token with a +1/+1 counter on it as well as a vigilance counter due to Tayam.
  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 Army token.
  6. Holding priority, activate Phyrexian Altar twice by sacrificing Vizier of the Scorpion and the creature token, adding two mana.
  7. Resolve Tayam's ability, milling three and returning Vizier of the Scorpion 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 creature ETB.
  2. Infinite creature LTB.
  3. Infinite creature sacrifice triggers.
  4. Infinite death triggers.
  5. Infinite self-mill.
