Kitchen Finks + Altar of Dementia + Cleric Class

Kitchen Finks

Altar of Dementia

Cleric Class

How it works

1. Activate Altar of Dementia by sacrificing Kitchen Finks.
2. When Kitchen Finks dies, its persist ability triggers, returning Kitchen Finks from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
3. When Kitchen Finks enters the battlefield, it triggers, causing you to gain 3 life.
4. Cleric Class triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Kitchen Finks.
5. Resolve the Altar of Dementia ability.
6. Repeat.

This clever loop harnesses Altar of Dementia as a repeatable sacrifice outlet that mills an opponent's entire library while abusing the persist mechanic on Kitchen Finks. Normally, a -1/-1 counter would permanently neutralize Kitchen Finks after a single revival, but Cleric Class steps in to save the day by boosting your life gain and instantly canceling out that counter with a +1/+1 counter whenever you gain life. Because Kitchen Finks naturally triggers its own life gain upon entering the battlefield, the resulting state-based actions cause the +1/+1 and -1/+1 counters to annihilate each other, leaving the Finks fresh and ready to be sacrificed all over again.
