Ill-Gotten Gains + Desperate Ritual + Pyretic Ritual + Fork

Ill-Gotten Gains

Desperate Ritual

Pyretic Ritual

Fork

How it works

1. Cast Desperate Ritual.
2. Cast Pyretic Ritual.
3. Cast Ill-Gotten Gains.
4. Cast Fork targeting Ill-Gotten Gains.
5. With the Ill-Gotten Gains copy return the other three cards to your hand.
6. Repeat.

This explosive loop turns a handful of red rituals into an endless storm by perpetually recycling its own pieces from the graveyard. You kick things off by generating massive bursts of red mana with Desperate Ritual and Pyretic Ritual, fueling the expensive spellcasting that follows. Once you cast Ill-Gotten Gains, its unique effect forces every player to discard their hand while letting you pull up to three cards back from your graveyard—which is where Fork comes in to copy the sorcery mid-air. By targeting the original Ill-Gotten Gains with Fork, the copy resolves first to hand you back your rituals and the Fork itself, allowing you to repeat the entire sequence indefinitely for an arbitrarily high storm count.
