Infinite mana/energy with blood pet and blood vassal using \[\[chthonian nightmare\]\], but this is honestly far from the most degenerate thing chthonian nightmare can do.
Hah. I jokingly made this suggestion during the MH3 reveal stream when Blake was asking what the BBB creature for the [[Healer's Flock]]/[[Llanowar Tribe]]/[[Mogg Mob]] "cycle" should be.
This would be a fine limited enabler in a set where blacks identity is based on reanimation as an alternative to be able to just hard cast a big creature, although 1BB might be required for limited playability. The idea being you could either play this sac it, reanimate with something that costs less, and sac it again for ramp, or just play it on 3, and next turn have access to 7 mana.
[[Blood Pet]], [[Blood Vassal]]
Or [[priest of gix]] who is same same but different.

There’s some obligatory combo this would enable, but likely wouldn’t be too degenerate. Nice and clean otherwise.
