Ayara's Oathsworn + Nexus of Fate + Ion Storm

Ayara's Oathsworn

Nexus of Fate

Ion Storm

How it works

1. Deal combat damage to an opponent using Ayara's Oathsworn.
2. Ayara's Oathsworn triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on it and searching your library for Nexus of Fate and putting it into your hand.
3. Activate Ion Storm by paying 1 and removing a +1/+1 counter from Ayara's Oathsworn, dealing 2 damage to any target.
4. Cast Nexus of Fate by paying 5, causing you to take an extra turn after this one, and shuffle Nexus of Fate into your library.
5. Repeat each turn.

This delightful recursive engine relies on Ayara's Oathsworn steadily accumulating combat damage triggers and stacking up +1/+1 counters until it hits the critical threshold of four. At that exact moment, its ability tutors up Nexus of Fate straight to your hand, which you then cast to secure an endless sequence of extra turns while its own replacement effect safely shuffles it right back into your library for the next iteration. Meanwhile, Ion Storm serves as your precision removal outlet by weaponizing those very same counters, letting you convert the growth of Ayara's Oathsworn into lethal reach or board control as you loop through the ages.
