Invasion of Arcavios // Invocation of the Founders

Chandra, Hope's Beacon

Flicker

Vampire Hexmage

Karmic Guide

How it works

1. Activate Vampire Hexmage by sacrificing it, removing all counters from Invasion of Arcavios.
2. Invasion of Arcavios triggers, causing you to exile it and cast it as Invocation of the Founders.
3. Activate Chandra's first ability by putting a loyalty counter on it, adding 1.
4. Cast Flicker by paying 1, targeting Invocation of the Founders.
5. Chandra and Invocation of the Founders trigger, copying Flicker twice, with one copy targeting Chandra and the other targeting Karmic Guide.
6. Resolve the first Flicker copy, blinking Chandra.
7. Resolve the second Flicker copy, blinking Karmic Guide.
8. When Karmic Guide enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Vampire Hexmage to the battlefield from your graveyard.
9. Resolve the original Flicker, blinking Invocation of the Founders, causing it to enter the battlefield as Invasion of Arcavios.
10. When Invasion of Arcavios enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Flicker to your hand from your graveyard.
11. Repeat.

This elegant loop relies on Vampire Hexmage instantly defeating Invasion of Arcavios by stripping its defense counters, transforming it into Invocation of the Founders and generating a relentless recursion engine. With Chandra, Hope's Beacon providing the mana to cast Flicker and doubling your spell-copying triggers, you can continuously blink both Chandra and Karmic Guide. Each iteration brings back Vampire Hexmage from the graveyard via Karmic Guide's entry trigger to restart the cycle, while the recast of Flicker is conveniently retrieved from the graveyard by the newly re-entered Invasion of Arcavios.
