Ayara, Widow of the Realm // Ayara, Furnace Queen + Scourge of the Throne + Viscera Seer

Ayara, Widow of the Realm // Ayara, Furnace Queen

Scourge of the Throne

Viscera Seer

How it works

1. At the beginning of your combat phase, Ayara triggers, returning Scourge of the Throne from your graveyard to the battlefield, and giving it haste until end of turn.
2. Declare Scourge of the Throne as an attacker, attacking an opponent whose life total is higher than or equal to yours.
3. Scourge of the Throne's dethrone ability and second abilities trigger.
4. Resolve the second Scourge of the Throne trigger, causing you to untap all attacking creatures and to get an additional combat phase after this one.
5. Holding priority, activate Viscera Seer by sacrificing Scourge of the Throne, causing you to scry 1.
6. Resolve the second Scourge of the Throne trigger from step 3, doing nothing.
7. Repeat each combat phase.

This elegant loop transforms the combat step into an endless engine by weaponizing the graveyard with Ayara, Widow of the Realm // Ayara, Furnace Queen, which pulls Scourge of the Throne back to the battlefield with haste at the start of combat. As soon as that dragon charges the player with the most life, its dethrone ability triggers alongside its extra combat phase effect, granting you a cascade of untaps and extra attacks. Before that extra combat resolves, Viscera Seer lets you cleanly sacrifice the dragon to scry 1 and send it safely back to the graveyard, ready for Ayara to resurrect it all over again in the next combat phase.
