How it works

  1. Cast Faceless Butcher by paying 2B manaB mana.
  2. Faceless Butcher enters the battlefield, triggering itself and Dual Nature's first ability.
  3. Resolve the Faceless Butcher trigger, choosing not to exile anything.
  4. Resolve the Dual Nature trigger, creating a token copy of Faceless Butcher.
  5. The token Faceless Butcher enters the battlefield, exiling the nontoken Faceless Butcher.
  6. Faceless Butcher leaves the battlefield, triggering Dual Nature's second ability, exiling the Faceless Butcher token.
  7. The Faceless Butcher token leaves the battlefield, triggering its second ability, returning the nontoken Faceless Butcher from exile to the battlefield.
  8. Repeat from step 2.

This loop turns a simple enters-the-battlefield trigger into a self-sustaining cycle by letting Dual Nature constantly clone your creatures. When you cast Faceless Butcher, Dual Nature steps in to create a token copy that immediately exiles the original nontoken Faceless Butcher. That departure triggers Dual Nature's cleanup ability to exile the token, which in turn forces the token to return the original Faceless Butcher back to the battlefield to start the whole dance over again.
