4

5
Holding priority, activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Bloodghast, adding .
6
Resolve the Sméagol trigger, causing an opponent to reveal cards from the top of their library until they reveal a land card, then causing you to put the land onto the battlefield tapped under your control, and your opponent to put all other revealed cards into their graveyard.
7
When the land enters the battlefield, Dúnedain Rangers and Bloodghast trigger.
8
Repeat from step 2.
9
