Rowan, Scion of War + Stensian Sanguinist // Exsanguinate + Moltensteel Dragon

Rowan, Scion of War

Stensian Sanguinist // Exsanguinate

Moltensteel Dragon

How it works

1. Activate Moltensteel Dragon by paying life.
2. Repeat step 1 as desired.
3. Activate Rowan by tapping it, reducing the cost of all black and/or red spells you cast this turn.
4. Cast a copy of Exsanguinate, choosing for X to equal the amount of life you've lost this turn, but paying a total of due to Rowan.
5. Resolve Exsanguinate, causing each opponent to lose X life, and you to gain life equal to the life lost this way.

This clever loop turns voluntary life loss into a massive cost-reduction engine, leveraging Moltensteel Dragon's Phyrexian mana ability to intentionally drop your life total as low as you dare. You then tap Rowan, Scion of War as a sorcery, translating that staggering amount of lost life into a massive discount for black and red spells. Finally, thanks to Stensian Sanguinist casting its other half as Exsanguinate, you funnel that enormous reduction into draining your opponents for game-ending amounts of life while simultaneously replenishing your own.
