How to execute it

  1. Activate Orthion's second ability by paying {6}{R}{R}{R} and tapping it, creating five token copies of Verdant Eidolon with haste.
  2. Activate a Verdant Eidolon token by paying {G} and sacrificing it, adding {G}{G}{G} if it's the first or second token you've sacrificed, or {R}{R}{R} otherwise.
  3. When the Verdant Eidolon token dies, Orthion triggers, untapping itself.
  4. Repeat from step 2 for each remaining Verdant Eidolon token.
  5. Repeat from step 1.
  6. Once you have infinite mana, you may forego sacrificing the Verdant Eidolon tokens and/or target any other creature.
