How it works

  1. Activate Avatar Kuruk by paying 20 minus 1 for each creature and/or artifact you can tap while activating it, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
  2. At the beginning of your end step, The Mighty Thor triggers, blinking Avatar Kuruk and causing it to return to the battlefield as The Legend of Kuruk. Choose to have it enter with three lore counters due to its read-ahead ability given to it by Barbara Wright.
  3. The Legend of Kuruk's third chapter ability triggers, causing you to exile it and return it to the battlefield as Avatar Kuruk.
  4. Repeat.

This astonishing loop lets you chain infinite turns by weaponizing Barbara Wright and her gift of read-ahead to bypass the normal slow crawl of Sagas. When The Legend of Kuruk enters the battlefield, Barbara Wright's static ability lets you immediately drop it onto chapter three, triggering its exile-and-transform clause right away. This brings it back as Avatar Kuruk, whose waterbend exhaust ability lets you cash in your board state for an extra turn—a massive payment that is completely sidestepped because The Mighty Thor blinks the Avatar at the end step, resetting it back to The Legend of Kuruk to start the whole sequence over again.
