How it works

  1. Declare Yore-Tiller Nephilim as an attacker.
  2. Yore-Tiller Nephilim triggers, returning Medomai from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped and attacking.
  3. Deal combat damage using Medomai, triggering its ability, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
  4. Activate Shilgengar by sacrificing Medomai.
  5. Repeat each turn.

This elegant loop turns Medomai the Ageless into a permanent time-bending engine by circumventing its restriction against attacking during extra turns. Each time you declare Yore-Tiller Nephilim as an attacker, its trigger pulls Medomai straight from your graveyard onto the battlefield already tapped and attacking, cleanly dodging the rule that prevents it from being declared as an attacker on extra turns. Once Medomai deals combat damage to net you that crucial extra turn, Shilgengar, Sire of Famine steps in as the sacrifice outlet to recycle the fallen Sphinx into Blood tokens—fueling the very resurrection cycle that brings Medomai back to the graveyard to be reanimated all over again.
