Strategy
Loot taps for one mana per different power value among your creatures, which is an unusual constraint: a board of five identical tokens makes one mana, while five creatures of different sizes make five. The deck is built to maximise variety rather than volume, then spend the result on threats far above its curve.
Early: Ramp normally and deploy creatures with a spread of power. Birds of Paradise, Llanowar Elves and Elvish Mystic come down turn one, and Cultivate, Nature's Lore and Three Visits fix the mana while Loot gets established.
Mid: Counter effects are secretly mana. Rishkar, Duskshell Crawler, Bristly Bill and Innkeeper's Talent each change a creature's power, and every new value is another mana from Loot. Ozolith, the Shattered Spire doubles those counters, widening the spread further.
Late: Untap effects multiply everything. Seedborn Muse untaps Loot on every opponent's turn, Thousand-Year Elixir gives it haste and a second activation, and Nyxbloom Ancient triples whatever Loot produces - routinely twenty or more mana in a single tap.
Win conditions: Dump the mana into Craterhoof Behemoth for a lethal alpha strike, hard-cast Ghalta or Apex Devastator, or simply win on Helix Pinnacle, which a Nyxbloom-boosted Loot activation can fill in one turn.
- Seedborn Muse - Untaps Loot every turn, tripling the mana output
- Nyxbloom Ancient - Triples every mana Loot produces
- Rishkar, Peema Renegade - Counters create new distinct power values
- Craterhoof Behemoth - Converts a huge mana turn into lethal damage
