Emiel the Blessed + Plundering Barbarian + Zirda, the Dawnwaker

Emiel the Blessed

Plundering Barbarian

Zirda, the Dawnwaker

How it works

1. Activate Emiel the Blessed by paying 1, blinking Plundering Barbarian.
2. When Plundering Barbarian enters the battlefield, it triggers, creating a Treasure artifact token.
3. Activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding 1.
4. Repeat.

This clever loop turns Zirda, the Dawnwaker's cost-reducing presence into a nearly-free engine, reducing Emiel the Blessed's blink activation from three mana down to just a single generic mana. With Emiel's ability discounted, you can repeatedly exile Plundering Barbarian and let it re-enter the battlefield, triggering its ability to generate a Treasure token each time. You then crack that very same Treasure for mana to pay for Emiel the Blessed's discounted blink, fueling an endless cycle that generates infinite creature leaves-the-battlefield and enters-the-battlefield triggers.
