Esoteric Duplicator + Mindslaver

Esoteric Duplicator

Mindslaver

How it works

1. Activate Mindslaver by paying 4, tapping and sacrificing it, targeting the next opponent in turn order.
2. Esoteric Duplicator triggers, causing you to pay 2 to create a copy of Mindslaver at the beginning of the next end step.
3. Resolve the Mindslaver ability, causing you to control the targeted opponent during their next turn.
4. At the beginning of the next end step, Esoteric Duplicator triggers, creating a token copy of Mindslaver.
5. Repeat during each turn, including your opponents' turns, unless you are the next player in turn order.

By leveraging the sacrifice ability of Mindslaver to lock an opponent out of their own turns, you simultaneously trigger Esoteric Duplicator to watch from the sidelines. Because Mindslaver sends itself to the graveyard as part of its own cost, Esoteric Duplicator's triggered ability allows you to spend a modest {2} to re-create the artifact at the next end step. This sets up a vicious loop where you continuously control your opponents' minds and actions indefinitely, as long as you have the mana to feed the Duplicator's replication process.
