Fathom Mage + Starving Revenant + Cleric Class

Fathom Mage

Starving Revenant

Cleric Class

How it works

1. Gain life.
2. Cleric Class triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Fathom Mage.
3. Fathom Mage triggers, causing you to draw a card.
4. Starving Revenant triggers, causing you to gain 2 life and target opponent to lose 1 life.
5. Repeat from step 2.

This cunning loop revolves around Cleric Class and its passive life-boosting static ability, which acts as the beating heart of the engine by turning even a single point of lifegain into a +1/+1 counter on Fathom Mage. Every time that counter lands, Fathom Mage's own ability triggers to draw you a card, which in turn awakens Starving Revenant's descend ability—provided you have at least eight permanent cards in your graveyard—to drain your opponent and net you life. That freshly gained life feeds directly back into Cleric Class's Level 2 triggered ability, restarting the cycle to keep the cards flowing and your opponent's life total ticking down to zero.
