How it works

  1. Activate Diamond Lion by tapping it, discarding your hand, and sacrificing it, adding R manaR manaR mana or W manaW manaW mana.
  2. Cast a copy of Pack a Punch from exile by paying 1W manaR mana, targeting Tethmos High Priest, unpreparing Kirol.
  3. When you cast that spell, Tethmos High Priest triggers, returning Diamond Lion from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  4. When Diamond Lion leaves your graveyard, Kirol triggers, becoming prepared.
  5. Pack a Punch resolves, causing you to mill a card, put two +1/+1 counters onto Tethmos High Priest, and give it trample until end of turn.
  6. Repeat.

This intricate loop leverages Kirol, History Buff’s adventure side, Pack a Punch, to repeatedly cycle a low-cost creature in and out of the graveyard. By sacrificing Diamond Lion for a burst of mana, you fuel the casting of Pack a Punch from exile, which targets Tethmos High Priest to trigger its heroic ability and recur the Diamond Lion. Crucially, as Diamond Lion leaves your graveyard, Kirol becomes prepared once more, allowing you to cast another copy of Pack a Punch and sustain the loop indefinitely.
