The 4 combo pieces

What must be in place

Verdant Eidolon does not have a +1/+1 counter on it.
You control at least one additional nontoken creature.

How to execute it

  1. Activate Verdant Eidolon by paying {G} and sacrificing it, adding {G}{G}{G} if you have two or more {B} available, or {B}{B}{B} otherwise.
  2. Activate Ashnod's Altar twice by sacrificing Archaeomancer and another nontoken creature, adding {C}{C}{C}{C}.
  3. Cast Living Death by paying {3}{B}{B}, causing each player to exile all creature cards in their graveyards, sacrifice all creatures they control, then put all cards exiled this way onto the battlefield.
  4. When Archaeomancer enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Living Death to your hand from your graveyard.
  5. Repeat.
