The Hunger Tide Rises

Three chapters of Insect tokens front-load exactly the fuel the final chapter converts, which is the whole trick: by the time the Saga resolves its last chapter, you're holding a board of three 1/1s (plus whatever else showed up) and the sacrifice becomes a delayed, self-assembling reanimation payment. The final chapter reads its own mana-value cap off the pile you feed it, so the tokens the Saga made are both the sacrificial cost and the exact meter that decides how expensive a creature you can dump onto the battlefield. Sacrifice three, get something up to mana value three; sacrifice five by chaining in extra bodies, and the ceiling climbs with you. It searches library and graveyard on the same chapter, which is the quiet generosity here: it doubles as a tutor and a reanimator in one line, letting you either dig for the perfect target or cash in something that already died. What balances it is the clock. This is a four-turn commitment that does nothing but make chump blockers until the payoff lands, and every counter it draws is a counter the opponent knows is coming. Green has a long history of sacrifice-into-fatty engines, but most of them ask you to already own the fodder; this one manufactures its own over three turns and then eats it, a closed loop that funds its own final chapter.
